Welcome to Fair Shares Season 14 Wk26
Half-Share Members: it's an EVEN-week pickup--check your subscriptions in your Farmigo account if you are unsure whether you are an ODD- or EVEN-week half share. Please note that you will receive this newsletter weekly (you may request access to order through the store on your off weeks).
|
If you need to switch your pickup day, email us before 10a.m. Wednesday. Selecting the different day in the store is not the way to do it!
|
|
LOGIN HERE to make your trades and order. You may update your cart as many times as you like.
|
Your share will be packed for you whether you make trades and select a time or not, it just helps us have it ready when you arrive.

VACATION SHARE HOLD INFO: Please note that we order the produce on Monday, so we MUST have share holds in place before 8:00a.m. so that we can figure our numbers properly. You will be charged for the produce, which we can't sell, if you tell us or put your share on hold late.
|
Although you may put your share on hold (login and click the Delivery Hold tab), it would be EXTREMELY helpful to us and our farmers, who have upped production this season, if you found someone who might like to buy your share for the weeks you're gone, to try it out. Maybe you want to pay your petsitter or house sitter with some food, or maybe you have to give a present to someone, and we can make it easy on you!

Fair Shares October Ohm Break 10/4 through 10/8/2021
Speaking of vacation, heaven knows we all need one. Normally we take a September Sanity Break, but this year it will happen the following week, so mark your calendars (and maybe plan your own vacations accordingly). Half share members, note that this will be Week 29, so ODD-week members will have a whole month off, and EVEN-week members will be none the wiser. This is your ELEVENTH of fourteen notices! 😃

Mexican Sour Gherkins
|
|
|
These adorable little things look like miniature watermelons and have a taste and crunch like cucumbers. We think the name is a misnomer because they aren't very sour at all, just cute and fun to eat. Maybe you could pickle them for a cocktail... Read more

Cantaloupe and Fig Salad
|
|
Beth Sorrell's Week 25 recipe
|
This salad is for the magical time when cantaloupe and figs are both in season. I seriously dream about it every year. I have changed up the cheese each time but the core ingredients of cantaloupe, figs, and prosciutto stay the same.

Guitar Lessons
If COVID has taught us anything, it's how to be resourceful, and that having a hobby or project (such as playing guitar) is critical to your sanity and well-being.
|
|
Did your kids (or spouse) drive you nuts with their boredom this past year, or did you wish they would do something besides sit in front of the computer/television? Enter guitar lessons from a real live musician and Fair Shares volunteer Adam Lightnin' Hoskins (a founding member of Pokey LaFarge & the South City Three, and his current project Maximum Effort)!
|
|
|
|
|
Adam offers online guitar lessons to young and old alike. Contact him for more info.

UNION LOAFERS BREAD!
|
We've been waiting a long time for this union (ahem). The good folks at Union Loafers have agreed to sell us their award wining breads only under the proviso that we do not freeze it and sell it frozen. This shouldn't be a problem, because they are offering only small numbers of limited varieties on a weekly basis -- just 24 loaves per pickup day.
|
Since we'll be getting the bread in fresh on both Wednesday and Thursday, please make sure to select the proper item for your pickup day. If all the bread doesn't get purchased through the store, we'll offer it outside at the Mothership during pickup.

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.
