Welcome to Fair Shares Season 15 Wk40

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

LOGIN HERE to make your trades (or don't and we'll put together your standard share). Select your time and ADD it in your cart (or don't an you might have to wait for us to put your share together). 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.

Share Holds Must Be Made By 8:00 a.m. Mondays!

❄️ ❄️ ❄️ Winter Weather Alert ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Since we may have some wintry weather on Thursday, we thought it would be wise to have a Plan B in place. We have already purchased all the produce for this week, so we really need to go on with pickups, but if the weather is just too dangerous, we won't send Cole to Kirkwood, and we may postpone pickups at the Mothership as well. Depending on the outcome, we will let you know the plan via email.

Please monitor your emails, where we will send any info should your regular share schedule be revised!

Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

I've been in baking mode lately. We have whole wheat flour, so get in on it! Here's a nice looking bread recipe. Let us know if you try it.

Slow-Cooker Kabocha Squash Soup

Wow this was easy!! All I did was cut 2 squash in half and scoop the seeds out. Then I Jenga-ed the pieces in my slow cooker.

Crispy Salted Oatmeal Cookies

If you use whole wheat flour in this cookie recipe, you can pretend they're healthy! Also, maybe the kids won't like them as much and there will be more for you. 😃 🤣

Yogurt Coffee Cake

Beth Sorrell

Once I heard that a simple yogurt cake is the first recipe French kids learn how to bake, I had to try it. Of course I wanted to make it a bit interesting so I converted the recipe into a coffee cake. Read more

Christmas Apple Cake

This is like a pie on steroids, with a delicious flaky crust; and it's impressive to look at. We post it every year because it's so tasty, and perfect for a holiday celebration. We suggest you test this one out before the holiday, just to make sure it's up to snuff... Read more

Old Fashion Porridge

This dish has become a Christmas morning tradition for us, and makes a delightfully warm breakfast on any cold, winter day. Although we have never baked it in the crockpot, it seems well-suited, and would be a perfect wake up call…

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.
