Greetings folks!
The Northeast Hop Alliance is organizing a cooperative purchase for
supplies for next year’s hopyard. Of particular note is the coir twine
pricing. If they can get enough orders to purchase 75 bales of coir,
at 3400 strings each, then it will only be $300/bale. They might not
be able to organize cooperative purchases every year, so plan ahead!
You can find the details at the Northeast Hop Alliance website.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and download the Cooperative
Purchasing Supply Interest Survey. Please don't wait!! It can take a
couple of months for the bales to get here from Sri Lanka by
freighter, and we want to get the order in soon!
Best,
Rosalie
