Welcome to Fair Shares Season 17 Wk33
|
|
We'll see all Full Share, Mini Share, and ODD-week Half Share members this week.
|
(Note the ODD and EVEN half shares correspond to the odd- or even-numbered weeks of our season.)
|
Your assigned pickup day is [Delivery Day], but if you ever need to switch the day or location, reply to this email before 10a.m. Wednesday, and then look for a thumbs up or confirmation reply from us.
|
LOGIN HERE to select your time and ADD it in your cart. Make sure that the time you want is in your order confirmation email. If you don't receive an automated confirmation email, your order didn't go through. You may update your cart as many times as you like until we run our report at 10:30 Wednesday. Your share will be packed for you regardless of whether you make changes or select a time. The time just helps us organize and have your bags ready when you arrive.
|
Pro Tip: You can browse the store when it's "closed" by logging out of your account, but keep in mind that we update the store inventory on Tuesdays just before sending out the newsletter.

Goodbye Companion Granola 🙁
|
To all of our disappointment, Companion has decided to stop production of their Granola. We've purchased all we could and will continue to sell it while supplies last. We are seeking other granola sources, including
|
|
Louise's and Knead. If you know of others you would like to see Fair Shares carry, please let us know and we will inquire about wholesale availability.

This email is how we communicate with members. Please at least scan it so you know any important information. If you have questions, just reply to this email. You can find past newsletters on the website here.

Week 33
|
The never ending summer continues! It is rare to see slicing cucumbers in the store and heirloom and slicing tomatoes in shares in the same week of November but here we are.
|
|
NEW: Buttercup Winter Squash
|
Returning: Slicing Cucumbers, Greens Mix, Yellow Onions
|
|
We set some produce records this past month:
|
- Most produce shares offered by our farmers in any October
- Most varieties of produce items offered in a single month in a year
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With no-shows and extras already ordered for the store, there can be a glut of leftover produce if share holds are placed after we order.
|
|
In the wintertime, this isn't a big problem, but in high-produce season we have to charge you for the produce if you put your share on hold late. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
|
|
Check Your Bags!
|
Please help us by confirming that the bag we give you has your name on it (sometimes we know your name, sometimes we think we know your name, sometimes we grab the wrong bag).
|
Also please scan the outside of the bag near your name for notes that might require we grab something from the freezer, or for you to make a choice. We can be easily distracted and miss something when handing out so many shares.
|
Check that you've gotten everything you were supposed to receive--if you're missing produce that we need to credit you for, that's a loss we'd rather not take if we can help it.

Order Your Thanksgiving Turkey By THIS WEEK!
|
Turkey order deadline is Saturday November 16th. That means THIS WEEK is your final week to order through the store!
|
|
|
Thanksgiving Week Schedule
Please take note that we shift the pickups to Monday and Tuesday instead of Wednesday and Thursday to allow for holiday travel and meal prep.
|
|
We will be getting fresh turkeys delivered the Saturday before, and will get the newsletter sent out over the weekend so everyone can get their orders placed by Monday at 10:30a.m.

We're buying a few more pumpkins and squash this week, so don't forget to pickup decorations for your Thanksgiving table.
|
|
Also, old decorations make a great way to feed the wildlife--even if you weren't done with the decorations yet. #EveryoneEats

Notes on Trades and Orders
If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org. Do not reply to the order confirmation emails that send to orders@fairshares.org account--WE DO NOT ALWAYS CHECK THAT MAILBOX BEFORE PICKUPS, so if you want a reply, use info@fairshares.org, which goes to both Jamie and Sara, and one of us will see it.
|
The share clipboards below will include the fresh produce on your list, but the cart in your Farmigo account lists only the tradable items in your share. You must spend the total credit value in your cart but you are welcome to buy extra. Any amount over the tradeable value will show as Extra Credit and you will be charged additional plus tax on that amount.
|
|
Please check the descriptions of items! Some things are sold by the pound (indicated by /lb. in the item name) so the actual price will be different from what's listed in the store. If what's in your bag is not what you were expecting, give it back. If you're at the Mothership, you may be able to choose something else. This is particularly important on items like bulk chicken breasts, where the item price shows the price per pound, but the package weight may be five pounds.

Pro Tip: You can browse the store when it's "closed" by logging out of your account.
