We Deserve a Vacation - Notice #4

September Sanity Break - No Share Pickups NEXT WEEK,

Sept. 23 & 24

We will place all shares on hold for our break. If you wish to donate your share value, you may go take your share off hold after the 20th, otherwise note that this is why you have a hold on your share.

We'll see you all September 30th and October 1st...unless you're getting milk!

For Week 27, we will place everyone's shares on hold and resume the following week for Week 28.
EVEN-week Half shares: this won't affect you unless you normally shop on your off weeks.

Milk & Eggs Next Week

Milk Buyers: If you want to come to the Mothership on Wednesday 9/23 for a limited 2:00 to 4:00pm window to pick up your milk (and get any extras you need), let us know by Sunday, 9/20 at noon. You can email jamie@fairshares.org or just tell us at pickup. We won't order for you if you don't tell us ahead!

We will have eggs available next week so if you're coming for milk, no need to stock up now (because we may run short this week if you do).

Share Holds

If you need to put your share on hold, 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.

Benefit Bread!

We're excited to participate in Companion's program to benefit No Kids Hungry with their Sliced Sprouted Wheat Bread. Proceeds help feed kids who are learning virtually this year, and normally depend on school lunches.

We and they donate a quarter from each loaf sold, and we intend to sell it through part of next year, so let's all do our part to feed the kids together!

We got to sample this bread and can attest to it's soft, kid-friendly texture and light, delicious flavor. Perfect for school lunch, even if they're eating at home.
Benefit Bread!

Fried Okra

Fried Okra
This is a great way to prepare okra if you are not a fan of it generally. This makes a crispy, crunchy treat even the kids will eat. These are delicious just for snacking, for tossing on a salad, or adding to fried rice.

Sauteed Eggplant, Okra and Peppers

Sauteed Eggplant, Okra and Peppers
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. Read more

Pork Steamed Buns

Pork Steamed Buns
OMG, look what I made! I am not a baker, but these crazy covid times have me doing things that are way out of my normal, some of which I am actually ENJOYING!

Once Upon a Time...a Fairy Tale (Eggplant)

Once Upon a Time, a Fairy (Eggplant) Tale...
Miniature versions of things just make people smile and sigh. Baby dogs, baby cats, baby elephants--they're just cute and cuddly, right? Introducing the Fairy Tale Eggplant, a small, adorable version of its big sibling, the globe eggplant. To make it even more endearing, it has stripes! "Awww!"

Notes on Trades and Orders

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.

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.
