This week, the week of Christmas, Thursday pickups will move to Tuesday and the Kirkwood pickup time will be delayed one hour. Stephen Hale will be delivering for Nick and will be at UMKC with the shares from 2:00 to 3:30 before bringing the remaining shares to the porch drop.

Fair Shares will be off the week of New Year's. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Weekly pickup members, plan to order extras, or have fun clearing your refrigerator.

UCity Members

The pickup will be inside the church in cold weather. Enter the door at the alley on Kingsland. Check with the volunteers on hand for the current protocol as they work out logistics. Masks are mandatory and please bring your sign with name and pickup group. If you are uncomfortable going inside, let the volunteer at the door know and your bags will be brought out to you.

Mom’s Meatloaf

Mom’s Meatloaf
I always wonder why meatloaf gets slated as a humdrum dish, when it's as exciting as a rockstar in my book, and leftovers are always appreciated. Try it with Marina's Cranberry Chutney for a new twist! Since there isn't going to be any fancy feast this year, how about a nice meatloaf?

Gift Bag - Mid-Week Dinner

Order Holiday Gift Bags for This Week


Check out the store category "Gift Bags" to order ahead from a fun variety Fair Shares gift bags curated to please the foodie friends and family in your bubble, and beyond! From simple snacks to teacher gifts, meal staples to meat-lover kits, you're sure to find presents for all your favorite people (including yourself!).

We will put together the bags that don't include frozen items with gift bags and a bow. Those with frozen items will be packed in a regular brown bag and include the gift bag and bow separate. Please check that these items are included as we haven't quite gotten our routine down on this procedure.

Note: We will substitute any items listed if they are not available. Also, please alert recipients that fresh pasta needs to be refrigerated.

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.
