We Need a New Cooler!

We had a cooler go down a few months ago, and now that produce season is ramping up, we are in fairly desperate need of replacing it with more refrigerated space.

We are looking at going the simple and route of buying a used walk-in cooler box and adding a Cool-Bot (air-conditioner unit) to cool the space. Even this economical solution is putting a strain on our cash-flow, and some of you have offered to donate a little dough to help us out.

If you would like to do so, just look for any of the Donation items in the online store (various names in several categories), or contact us if you would prefer to make a different form of payment for a donation. We are, as ever, supremely grateful for all the help and support.

Chorizo and Black Bean Lettuce Cups

When we get gorgeous lettuce like this, I like to use the leaves as a cup for food. This was super easy to come together since I cook my black beans in large batches and freeze them in 1.5 cup bags. I also made an avocado crema that is so fresh on everything... Read more

Klondike Bison has lots more to offer than just ground bison. You can order various cuts directly from Peggy Ladd and she will deliver to Fair Shares. Price lists can be found on KlondikeBison.com.

Quarters of bison meat are available in two ways: 1. Family quarter - includes roasts, steaks, stew meat, cube steaks and burger.

2. Griller's quarter - steaks, burger and a few short ribs and roasts.
$14/lb. for quarters or $12 for the half. Peggy can deliver those directly to the buyer's house, if preferred.
Open Farm Day (Bison Peeping!)

This Saturday, May 13th, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Folks are welcome to come visit. Maybe see a few of the boys who are resting in the corral. (Bison mommas and babies will be allowed to come up close, but I imagine they will NOT like the hub-bub.) I will have bison meat, honey and wax products, and merchandise available for purchase.

14138 Klondike Rd, DeSoto.

For more info, contact Peggy: 314.773.6779.

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.
