Straw Bale Building

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for straw bales? we're planning on building a straw bale house/cottage in Maine. Are they two- or three-string?

Thanks! Joan M.

Hey Joan! We paid $6 per bale delivered (it was $5 per bale if you picked them up yourself). They are two string bales. Where are you located? We can put you in contact with the farmer we worked with if you're anywhere near us.
