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!

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

Quick Pickled Sweet Peppers

Quick Pickled Sweet Peppers Well, pickle my sweet pepper! When it's high pepper season, I start thinking of how many different ways I can get them in my belly. I've always enjoyed pickled peppers--both hot and sweet--but I never actually made them myself...until now. It's so easy to do, I could even do it at work, and they were ready …

Winter squash is such an easy-going, versatile ingredient, amenable to an amazing array of flavor profiles and cuisines. Sometimes it's difficult to decide whether to go Thai curry or Indian curry, Italian with brown-butter sage, or just make a simple rustic, all-American soup. This soup uses chevre, mushrooms and apple syrup, and is one of those …

Squash and Pepper Saute

Hot peppers added a special excitement to this simple sweet and savory side dish. Try adding meatballs, sausage or other cooked ground meat, and a sprinkle of cheese. Then serve over pasta, rice or salad for a square meal…

This recipe was created with larger bell peppers in mind, but will work well for other peppers, either hot or sweet, such as corno de toro, ancho and poblano peppers. Go ahead and make extra, so your dreams of more in the future will come true. Preparation Preparation Ingredients: 4 to 6 peppers, de-seeded and halved. …

When it comes to hollow winter squash, my first inclination is to stuff them, because peeling them is more work than it's worth, in my opinion. But with edible-skin squash like the delicata, sometimes a simple preparation can be more appropriate as a side dish, and can allow the rich, sweet flavor and velvety texture of …

The trick to making this rich, intensely-flavored summer treat so delicious is roasting it to within an inch of its life, allowing the juices to concentrate and caramelize. Serve over pasta, rice, polenta, cooked greens or crostini, or fold into an omelet or a sandwich. Seriously, wow--this is the secret to falling in love with ANY vegetable, …

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. Preparation Ingredients 1 medium eggplant (~ .75 to 1 …

Stuffed Poblanos with Ground Chicken, Polenta, Tomatillos and Cheese

I adapted this recipe from one that called for rice, tomatoes and leftover roasted chicken, versus polenta, tomatillos and ground chicken. You can also make this vegetarian, and feel free to substitute any way you wish. I love poblanos because they pack a little bit of heat and a lot of …

Roasted Pepper Pockets with Fontina and Prosciutto

I used to make this all the time BFS (before Fair Shares). This recipe's origin is a mystery. I can’t find it in any of my favorite cookbooks to give credit, so I'll just tell you how to do it, and suggest these variations I would do now in order to make it …

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.

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.
