Welcome to Fair Shares Season 14 Wk20

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.

This email is how we communicate with members. Please at least scan it for important information.


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.
Although you may put your share on hold, 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. Since 4th of July didn't happen during pickups, we won't get one until the fall. Normally we take a September Sanity Break, but this year it will happen the following week, so mark your calendars (and 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 FIFTH of fourteen notices! πŸ˜‚

Did you make anything wonderful over the weekend? Have great ideas to share on social media? Be sure to tag Fair Shares to let your friends and family know where you source your fabulous local foods.

Freeze Your Peppers

Freeze Your Peppers
Beth Sorrell's Wk 20 post

Did you know that peppers freeze well? I freeze extra peppers all summer to use in stews, chili, and jambalaya.

Stuffed Peppers with Meat

Stuffed Peppers with Meat
This recipe was created with larger bell peppers in mind, but will work well for other peppers, either hot or sweet, such as Carmen, banana and poblano peppers. Go ahead and make extra, so your dreams of more in the future will come true.

Stuffed Poblanos with Ground Chicken, Polenta, Tomatillos and Cheese

Stuffed Poblanos with Ground Chicken, Polenta, Tomatillos and Cheese
I adapted this recipe from one that called for rice, tomatoes and leftover roasted chicken, versus polenta, tomatillos and ground chicken. You can also make this vegetarian, and feel free to substitute any way you wish. Read more

Springroll Salad

Springroll Salad
Beth Sorrell's Wk 18 recipe.

Here’s another great idea for zucchini - make zoodles and mix with rice noodles, veg, and fresh herbs in this perfect summertime dish.

Chinese Cole Slaw

Chinese Cole Slaw
This dish seems to get better as it sits. Save the ramen noodles to throw in just a little before serving so they still have some crunch.

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.
