must be in cahoots with the shallot people!
I believe this ginger is sold as BIKER DUDE ginger in organic stores on the mailand.
I've purchased cases of it before (NOT CHEAP) and it's sprouted fine.
In fact, better than what I got from East Branch last year.
What really sux is that I bought A LOT of ginger from East Branch last year and didn't get so much as a 'reminder' to purchase again this year. I was fixing to put in my order 'any day now.' This time last year, of course, my 2nd bathroom was full of heat lamps and flats full of soil and ginger.
So it goes.
My condolences to everyone who got shorted.

It's my impression that rather than cutting some people out entirely they're instead going to short everybody.I was shorted a much smaller percentage, but I'd only put in a very small experimental order: I ordered 5 pounds and have been notified I'll be getting three. Maybe that's the minimum they're cutting people down to; or maybe the percentage varies with the variety -- I ordered the Yellow Hawaiian as that was the only ginger left by the time I placed the order, although it had only been two days since they'd opened orders.Last year I couldn't get any at all and tried buying organic ginger at an area grocery; almost none of it germinated, and what did germinate produced only a very small crop, though I don't know whether that had to do with the variety (I have no idea what variety it was) or with the growing conditions.-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I thinkFresh-market organic produce, small scaleOn Mar 3, 2013, at 1:34 PM, Richard Stewart wrote:We are getting less than 25% of entire ginger order this year.Anyone else get shorted?Puna Organics/East Branch GingerGoing to try some germination tests with the store bought stuff and see what happens.
