hello everyone I am interested in a group buy if there is one near or preferably in NH. Most likely be interested in four sacks. Thank you!!
We've been doing group grain buys in the DC area for many years.Hi Steve I have an account that let’s me buy bulk now but I am not sure how everyone does it on here monetarily. I’d like to get a bunch of people together around the area and go in on a pallet which would save a ton compared to shipping a single bag with a total cost of 55-60 bucks. The potentiality of savings could be huge!
Do you have a sales list of what is available and prices?

We had a spreadsheet to keep track of orders, and moneys due. We now use a website. We also do organized splits, which is a mixed blessing.
Moneys are collected through the group buy organizer's PayPal account. When the order is complete everyone pays him from their PayPal account using F&F and only direct drafts from their bank account so there are no delays or CC fees. When everyone has paid up, the order is placed with the supplier. A few weeks later when the order is received we gather to distribute and pick up.
5 years ago it ran us more than $60 to get a full pallet shipped, more like $300, IIRC. We now have a different supplier, and we are not bound to full pallets (40-42 sacks) anymore, and we get charged per sack for shipping, which runs only a tad more per sack, regardless of quantity.

Rahr 2-row, Crisp Maris Otter, Weyermann Barke Pilsner for sure. Possibly a bag of Weyermann Munich Type II. Much depends upon the fully loaded price.
