Check your subscriptions in your Farmigo account if you are unsure whether you are an ODD- or EVEN-week half share.

Your assigned pickup day is [Delivery Day], but if you need to switch the day, reply to this email before 10a.m. Wednesday. Selecting the different day in the store is not the way to do it!

Your share will be packed for you whether you select a time or not, it just helps us have it ready when you arrive.

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Asian Lettuce Wraps
Whenever there is bibb or butterhead lettuce available, I fantasize about lettuce wraps--especially since we started carrying the oo'mämē Chili Crisps. You can wrap anything in a lettuce leaf, really, just make it a fun, communal meal in which everyone gets to participate in the assembly of their own wraps. Read more

Gitcher Schlafly Beer Here

You can purchase beer from Schlafly's website (linked below) and pick it up at the Mothership or UCity when you come for your share.

Purchase from Schlafly's online system, and then let us know by adding the Schlafly Beer item in your cart. There has been some glitch in ordering, so please contact The Tap Room at 314-241-BEER if you're having any trouble--you can still order from them up until noon.

PLEASE CLICK THE LINK AND READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER! Read more

Notes on Trades and Orders

If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org. We get over 400 order confirmation emails in the orders@fairshares.org account and WE DO NOT CHECK THEM, so if you want a reply, use info@fairshares.org, which goes to both Jamie and Sara, and one of us will see it!

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 certain items in your cart that have variations for you to select. 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.
All members must complete trades and orders by 10:30a.m. Wednesday.
