Welcome to Fair Shares Season 16 Wk23

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. Your share will be packed for you regardless, selecting a time just helps us organize and have your bags ready when you arrive.

You may update your cart as many times as you like. We run a report at 10:30 am Wednesdays which includes the latest update,

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.

Please note that you can put your share on hold through your account under the "Delivery Hold" tab, but you must do so before Monday morning when we are putting together the numbers and ordering the produce.

We get stuck with so many bags of produce that we're unable to sell and we will need to charge you for the produce if you request that your share be put on hold after we've ordered. This is not a new policy, just a reminder since summer is here and produce is plenty.

Also, if you know anyone who might like to try out your share while you're away, it would be helpful to our farmers and us!

Wk 23 Produce Update

NEW: Paw Paws, Parsley, Organic Empire Apples, and Jonathan Apples.

If you have not heard of a Paw Paw I recommend you try them! They are a native fruit to America. Typically described as a mix of a banana and mango. They have a short shelf life and typically don’t fall off trees till they are ready to eat, thus typical grocery stores don’t carry them.

Returning in stock: Carmen Peppers, Red Russian Kale (another sign that greens are coming back!), and Celeriac

Paw Paws

The paw paw is the largest edible fruit native to America. It's thin skinned with soft custard-like pulp and large smooth seeds. It has a delicious tropical flavor and a fascinating story.

Someone told us that okra is only slimy once it's cut, so the secret should be to cook it whole. Eating it whole may present more of a challenge, but if you really have a problem with the texture of okra, you now know the solution. Read more

Watermelon Salad

by Beth Sorrell

My first watermelon of the season deserves some special treatment! This is summer in a bowl for me. So easy and delicious.

by Beth Sorrell

It’s too hot to cook so I grabbed that cabbage in the back of the fridge and went to town.

Potted Oregano Available

Organic Potted Oregano from Biver Farms is available in the Bedding Plants category of the store. Get that indoor herb garden going so you have what you need for the fall and winter holidays! You can also plant it in your garden and it should come back next year.
