Why join Fair Shares? Ask our members!
Fair Shares is a community of happy eaters who care about and appreciate their food—how it tastes, who grows it, and who aggregates it. We all share ideas, recipes, and tips—we love chatting with members during pickups to help them feel confident when trying new foods. Our members are amazing, smart, creative, witty and wise people who we are honored to call friends and acquaintances. We even host happy hours to visit and say thanks for being part of our community.
The reasons our members join are as diverse as the population who comprises our community. Here are just a few of the reasons to join Fair Shares today:

3. Environment
