Welcome to Fair Shares Season 15 Wk22

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

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to switch pickup days, and sorry to cause confusion for UCity and Kirkwood folks, who were not supposed to receive that.

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.

Share Holds Must Be Made By Monday Morning!

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

Celery Stir Fry

Beth Sorrell's Wk 22 recipe

I didn’t know what to do with the celery. It was a bit bitter and the leaves were very bitter. I tried several ideas with the leaves but nothing panned out (punny!) so I put them in the compost bin and focused on the stalks. WOW this dish was delicious… Read more

Cantaloupe and Fig Salad

This salad is for the magical time when cantaloupe and figs are both in season. I seriously dream about it every year. I have changed up the cheese each time but the core ingredients of cantaloupe, figs, and prosciutto stay the same...

Callie Needs a Loving Home!

As much as we selfishly would like to keep Callie at Fair Shares and enjoy her sweet, fun kittenness, we know she would do better having a full-time family to love and care for her.

She has been fixed, but will need her shots. She's good with other cats and loves her people and enjoys playing with toys. She's learning that being held is quite enjoyable and she purrs all the time.

If you or someone you know is looking for a new friend to adopt, please email info@fairshares.org. We know she will be timid at first, and will need a little time to adjust. We really would appreciate your help vetting her new family because she's pretty special to us.

Callie has a green thumb and enjoys spending time in the garden, hiding in the raised beds, or up high on a perch.

She'll need to learn manners about having her feet on the table, but she loves being part of the action.

She's also useful in the office, and is happy to help if you need some printing tasks done.

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.

If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org.

Note regarding "Choice" items in your shares: The tradable "choice" items will be in your cart, and you can click the item to see what choices it mentions in the description, then make your selection via the online store by placing your choice in your cart and deleting the "choice" from your cart. For the produce wildcards and choices, we can't always guarantee whether you'll get to make the choice or we do--that's the CSA aspect of our program.
