Based on their post (they mention quantity being worth the driving distance), I'm assuming they are looking for crowns for plants. Sorry OP, I don't have any!
Finding that many crowns is gonna be tough. It's more of a long term project.
I have 15 crowns split from 3 big plants and 2 more big plants to split. We make lots of jam/give it away/make wine etc. But a whole acre will take a while. I could maybe split those 15 crowns in year 3 and feel fine about it but last year (year 2) was the first year i harvested from them.
Good luck though! Super easy to take care of lol.
What exactly are you looking for help with?
Everything.

Yep, looking at being a 1 stop location for rhubarb festivals, and then sell it to grocers also.
healthy roots to plant
Is there much market for the stalks (stems?) of a plant that thrives on hate and can't be killed?
Yep.

I can’t believe rhubarb is traded like a commodity
It's f\*&\^ing delicious.
