Welcome to Fair Shares Season 16 Wk3

It's hard to believe we're in our SIXTEENTH year! We are so thankful to all of our members, both old and new, and we look forward to feeding you all for another season.

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

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.

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. You may update your cart as many times as you like. Your share will be packed for you regardless, selecting a 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.

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.

New packaging info from Kreta Reserve

Plasmax Bottles - The future of ecological, food-safe packaging: This is an unbreakable (no glass) PET plastic bottle that has been lined with Plasmax, and it is suitable for use in the kitchen. Plasmax is a micro coating of unbreakable glass changed at the molecular level so the oil never touches plastic, it is not exposed to oxygen penetration, and no chemicals from plastic are transferred to the oil. The plastic itself contains UV inhibitors that do not allow light to reach the contents. The bottles are also antique brown tinted to further block 99.9% of light. Both features keep damaging UV light from reaching the oil. The finest European wines are now packaged in Plasmax lined PET bottles. A special cap with Saranex liner keeps the oil free of oxygen penetration. Shipping for Plasmax bottles is far less than shipping for heavier glass packaging. Plasmax is fully recyclable. Its carbon footprint is exponentially less than glass, and it is just as safe for all food products.

Coming Soon!

Don't make a trip to the grocery store; pick up your milk when you get your food from Fair Shares!

You can set up a standing weekly or bi-weekly order so that we will be sure to have your milk for you (you may cancel at anytime). Feel free to order from the online store, or place a one-time order to see how you like it. Read more

Notes on Trades and Orders

If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org. We get nearly 400 order confirmation emails in the orders@fairshares.org account and WE DO NOT ALWAYS CHECK THEM, 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.

Here's a video demo on how to make trades. Note that Farmigo has updated their system to allow you to click the items in your cart that have variations for you to select. Here's the link to LOGIN.

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.
