Welcome to Fair Shares Week 17!
We'll see all Full Share, Mini Share, and ODD-week Half Share members this week.

Please click on your ASSIGNED pickup day, select your time and ADD it in your cart. If it tells you that item is sold out, choose the next time slot. Make sure that the time you want is in your order confirmation email. If it's not, please go in and try again.
You may update your cart as many times as you like.
Also, if you aren't going to come early, please select the later time slots so your bag isn't sitting in the cooler for an hour, while we're scrambling to get other bags filled for the people who needed to come earlier but the slots were filled up.
|
Note that you need to come on your regular, assigned pickup day, which is [Delivery Day], and your group is [Pickup Site]. If you can't, please reply to this email and tell us before 10a.m. Wednesday or we won't have your bag ready.
|
If you miss the trades window, please just come after 4:30. Even if you didn't pick your time slot, PLEASE, SHOW UP ON YOUR ASSIGNED PICKUP DAY! Packing everything in bags and then having to dig out the frozen stuff at the end of the night--especially as we get into the high produce season and there is so much more food--is going to create a new policy with some sort of restocking fee. We're not trying to guilt you or anything because you are certainly not the only one, and that's why it's kind of a big deal.
|
See below for more info on how to make trades and customize "choice" items.

Share Holds
|
If you are planning to put your share on hold while you are on vacation this summer, PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ORDER PRODUCE FOR THE SHARES ON MONDAYS, so you must make your share hold request by Monday at 8a.m. or you will be charged for your produce. Login to your account and click the Delivery Hold tab.
|
You may send someone else to collect your share if you forget, but we can't credit you for the produce we are stuck with. Thanks for your understanding.

We know, this is a lot of boring text to weed through, so here is a handsome eggplant.

Anything Missing?
Remember to check your bag before you leave. Let us know of any missing or wrong items. We may not be able to correct a problem in UCity or Kirkwood, but you can help save us a million emails and future work if you let us correct your bag when you pick up at the Mothership.
|
|
We know one thing missing this week: Rolling Hills Heavy Cream, Half and Half and Chocolate Milk! Their machine is down, so no deliveries. They hope to back back in action next week, or even tomorrow.

Black Bean Salsa Salad
|
|
This is a tried and true recipe from Fast and Healthy Magazine, May/June 1997. We've been enjoying this for years.
|
I always double this so we can eat it for a few days, cool and delicious!

Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
|
|
Fresh tomatillos have a slight citrusy flavor that makes a wonderful salsa that goes well with chicken, pork, fish, eggs, and grilled veggies. Or eat as is with chips...

Although Cham Bakery makes a wonderful Syrian baba ganouj, we have eggplant in season now, so if you're ready for a little DIY, this is a simple looking recipe and photo from Cooking Without a Net.

This dish is savory and satisfying, with the spice combination of cinnamon and cloves that make it an exotic and exciting meal. Preparation Ingredients: 2-3 T. butter 4 cloves garlic, crushed 1 -2 lb ground beef, lamb or combo 2 medium onions, 1/4 inch slices 2 hot and 2 bell peppers, sliced 1 lg. eggplant (2 lb.), 1/4 …

This everything-in-one-pan dish can be the basis of several delicious meals, particularly if you season it sparingly, allowing you to take it in other directions as fits the dish. It's also a great way to clean out your refrigerator drawer. Preparation This recipe includes (almost) all the produce that was in my fridge, so don't worry too …

Tahini "Dips and sauces based on tahini, or sesame seed paste, are rich and creamy, and excellent on broiled meat, chicken, fish, and shellfish. They are also good over vegetables-such as cooked cauliflower, crisp fried eggplant and zucchini, kibbeh, potatoes, and swiss chard; hard-boiled eggs; and boiled snails; and they can simply be used as a dip for pita …

This pandemic has been a unique experience for all of us and during these times we have all had to readjust to new ways of living.
Being the foodies that we are, one thing that we can say we all miss is sharing a home cooked meal at a table with loved ones. Our members Joanne McAndrews & Larry Eisenman decided not to limit themselves and get creative by collaborating with us for a Zoom dinner with friends!

Pan-Fried Corn
|
|
This is delicious hot as a side dish, or cold as a leftover--over salad, in Del Carmen Black Bean soup, out of the container in the refrigerator, etc.
|
See the tip at the right on how to remove corn kernals from the cob.
|
Melt about a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a minced or crushed clove of garlic and the shucked kernels of corn. Stir and fry until it starts to brown and caramelize. Add sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Repeat as necessary.
|
Alternately, you can use onions and peppers in the pan-fried corn--or make it a party and it all!
|
|
Tip: How to de-cob your corn
|
|
All you need is a deep bowl or pot and a sharp knife to make cutting your corn off the cob a breeze. Of course, a shallow bowl or plate is an option if you like cleaning up bits of corn kernal and a spray of corn juice (really, corn juice?).
|
|
First, if you are squeamish about caterpillars, you might want to just cut off the top couple inches of each ear. Then husk the corn and brush off all the silks.

Order Your Milk By Sunday
If you would like a weekly or bi-weekly standing order of milk (1/2 gallons - whole, creamline, 2%, chocolate, or skim), please email Jamie by 3p.m. Sunday. If you miss the deadline, check the store when making your trades Tuesday night for availability.
|
|
If you would like a standing order of pints of heavy cream or half & half, or 12 oz. chocolate milk, please email orders@fairshares.org by noon on the Friday before your pickup to let us know your order. Again, if you miss the deadline, you can order through the store after we've sent the newsletter.

Grow Solar St. Louis
|
|
|
We're on board with Grow Solar's initiative to boost solar energy in the St. Louis area. Get off the fence, and get on the roof!

|
|
|
You can bring your Buttonwood, Dry Dock and Linnenbringer Farms egg cartons back, but only if they are clean and not falling apart.
Please consider small weekly returns so we aren't overrun!

It's Schlafly Beer Thirty!

Notes on Trades and Orders
UCity members, we MUST run the report at 10:30 sharp in order to be able to get your food to you on time. If you're late, we're sorry, but we are not checking email, we're pulling orders and packing bags.
|
|
Everyone else, the store shuts you out promptly at 11 am, so if you're a Wednesday pickup member at Fair Shares and you have an issue that needs fixing, we should be able to take care of it if you don't come during the busy first two hours of pickup.
|
____________________________________________________________________________________

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.
|
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.
|
We don't open the store until we've sent the newsletter because we need to finish updating the store inventory for you to make trades. You can browse the store beforehand by logging out of your account.
|
Login to your account to select your pickup time slot, swap items from your cart and add extras. You may go in to your account as many times as you like until the store closes. The system will only keep the latest version of your cart. If you don't receive an email confirmation, try again.
