Hemp in the Coop

[Paula321]

I purchased 20 bales of hemp from New Country Organics. They were $19.95 each and shipping was $224 total. This comes out to $623 total or $31.15 per bale (5 cubic foot bags). This is far less costly than any other place I could find online. I live south of Orlando. Does anyone else want to go in on this with me when I am ready for my next order? It gets even cheaper up to a pallet load as the $224 was a flat rate for the shipping. The bedding itself was $399. You can get up to 27 bales for that shipping price. If there are people in central Florida interested in going in on this together, I don’t mind paying up front, storing it and then redistributing it but people would need to pick it up at my house in Lake Wales FL. I live about 1.5 hours from Tampa and Orlando.

Hopefully that price will be coming down in the years ahead as more people start growing it. I want to grow it, but the registration fees are too high. If you have the area you might want to look into growing it yourself.
