Welcome to Fair Shares Season 15 Wk5

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

A special welcome to our new Mercy South members who are starting pickups this Friday! We're excited to have you with us and invite you to join our Facebook Group where you can ask questions, share recipes, and get tips on how to use your share items. Happy eating!


Your assigned pickup day is [Delivery Day], but if you need to switch the day, 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 whether you select a time or not, it just helps us have it ready when you arrive.

COVID PROCEDURES UPDATE: Although CDC guidelines do not require masks indoors, we request that everyone continue to wear masks indoors at pickups. Thanks.
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.

How to Prep Asparagus

asparagus
When you get asparagus in your CSA, it's going to be so much fresher and more tender than the often tough and woody stalks you'll find in the grocery store. The "proper" technique for removing the tough end is to hold the end and the lower part of the stalk and bend until it snaps. In theory, it will break … Read more

Roasted Joi Choi

Roasted Joi Choi
By Beth Sorrell

(I'm hoping we will get this again so others can try the recipe!)

Happy Milk from Ozark Mountain Creamery
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 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 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 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.

PLANT ORDER NOTES:

The plants listed in the store will be ordered from the farmer for your next pickup, not this week. When your plants have been ordered, we will add the item Pre-ordered Plants into your cart.
