    We are interested in several, but not all, items in this offer. Are there other people interested in going in on the full purchase together?
    We are eying things like the sinks, shelves, cheese mats, cooler(s), tables, racks, … Not so much the bulk tank, pipeline system or pasteurizer… Others interested in those items and open to a joint purchase, please be in touch: (207) 445-3276
