Welcome to Fair Shares Season 15 Wk16

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

All orders are due by 10:30 am Wednesday! If you don't make trades, your standard share list will be packed.

LOGIN HERE to select your time and ADD it in your cart. (Mercy South members don't need to select a time.) 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.

Note on Milk

Because of the holiday yesterday, milk is coming on Thursday this week, so pay attention to the day noted on the milk items in the store and order appropriately (like we do for the Union Loafers bread). We are a bit shorter than usual on our available milk for Wednesday, so if you'd like to come Thursday for your share and milk, please let us know before 10a.m. so we can switch you in the system before reports are run.

Share Holds

Please note that we need to know by Monday morning if you won't be picking up your share so we don't purchase the produce. We know there are emergency situations that come up, and we often end up with a lot of extra produce we have to donate, so knowing in advance whenever possible saves us, time, space, work and money. Thanks!

Have a vacation coming up and need to pay someone for looking after your house or pets? Share your share!

You can always let someone else pick up your share each week if you are out of town. That individual gets to try our tasty food and our farmers get the reliability of consistent member counts while you are away. It's a win win! Make sure to let us know at info@fairshares.org

Blackberry Cocktail or Mocktail

Beth Sorrell

I love blackberries but don't like the seeds. I also love cocktails so this was a great idea to use my blackberries to make a syrup. It's super easy... Read more

Chinese Cole Slaw

This dish seems to get better as it sits. Save the ramen noodles to throw in just a little before serving so they still have some crunch. You can use any type of cabbage for this, or even more hearty greens like collards and kale.

Mediterranean Lentil stew with Swiss Chard

Beth Sorrell's Wk 15 recipe

Who says stew is for winter? This is fresh tasting and light thanks to folding in the Swiss chard at the end and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This might be the perfect summer alternative to salad!

* Keith Biver gave us some XL pickling cukes that got away from him at the farm. These are perfect for this recipe. Look for Cucumbers - Pickling - Large in the Vegetable section of the online store!

This is about as easy as you can get, and you can halve the recipe and skip the sterile jars just to have some killer sweet dills to enjoy for the weekend… Read more

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.
