    "About five months ago, Condzella found a German farm selling a Wolf WHE 140 Hopfen Pflückmaschine, a rare hops harvester, online."

    "He will travel to Germany in a few weeks to buy the harvester for $19,000. It will cost around $8,000 to ship the 14-foot, 5.5-ton machine to New York on an ocean freighter."

    Interesting stuff! It's cool to see hops bring grown on Long Island.

    Their hops have been used at local LI breweries since they opened up... with the new harvester output will increase compared to hand harvest parties/events
