Welcome to Fair Shares Season 15 Wk34

We'll see all Full Share, Mini Share, and EVEN-week Half Share members this week.

All orders are due by 10:30 am Wednesday! If you don't make trades, your standard share list will be packed.

LOGIN HERE to select your time and ADD it in your cart. Make sure that you receive your order confirmation email, or your order didn't go through.

Note that you may update your cart as many times as you like. Your share will be packed for you whether you select a time or not, it just helps us have it ready when you arrive.

Hi everyone, sadly, we are finding our expenses continue to rise, from rent and utilities to food costs, delivery fees, packaging supplies, and software costs to employee wages, etc. Our pricing is just not covering our expenses, and rather than decreasing share size and selling less of our farmers’ food, we will be adding $5 to the price of the shares, beginning next week. We appreciate your understanding and your continued support.

Share Holds Must Be Made By 8:00 Monday Morning!

Thanksgiving Week Schedule

Please note the special holiday schedule and mark your calendars.

Thanksgiving is on Week 36, TWO weeks from now. Please note the pickups will occur early in the week and the newsletter will be sent out on Sunday the 20th. All the normal hours apply.

Wednesday pickups will take place on Monday November 21st.

Thursday pickups will take place on Tuesday November 22nd.

We will be closed for the holiday the remainder of the week.

We try to put together holiday meal themed shares for that week and for the half share the week before. If anyone has special requests for the holidays, please let us know!

Thanksgiving Turkeys Available!

We DO have plenty of turkeys available, and you are welcome to order through the store--if anyone looked and didn't find them last week, it was an error on our end--sorry! There will be more of the smaller 12-14 pound turkeys available this year.

Note the recipes that may be inspiration for new dishes for your Thanksgiving meal. If you have favorites to share, please post on our Facebook Group!

Pumpkin Soup

Pie pumpkins are so named not just because they are pie sized, but because the texture is firm and less watery than the jack-o-lantern varieties. You can cook your pumpkin now and freeze the flesh to be ahead of the game for Thanksgiving pies.

Notes on Trades and Orders

If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org rather than replying to the email or we may not see it.

The share clipboards below 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.

Here's a video demo on how to make trades. Here's the link to LOGIN.

Please check the descriptions of items! Some things are sold by the pound 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.

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

If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org.

Note regarding "Choice" items in your shares: The tradable "choice" items will be in your cart, and you can click the item to see what choices it mentions in the description, then make your selection via the online store by placing your choice in your cart and deleting the "choice" from your cart. For the produce wildcards and choices, we can't always guarantee whether you'll get to make the choice or we do--that's the CSA aspect of our program.
