Buckhorn, Inc has foodgrade "totes" and others. They have an "overrun" list
also, where prices are VERY reasonable, though selection is limited. But if
they have what you can use it is a great deal.

Subject: [Market-farming] ? re sources potable water hoses andpack-wash-move
crates
Greetings all,
I'm concerned about the lead that leaches from almost all types of garden
hoses, as we use them for our dog's drinking water as well as for organic
garden watering. Does anyone have any recommended types and sources of
affordable long-lasting nonkink hoses that are proclaimed as safe for
drinking water?
Also, does anyone have any recommended types and sources of crates that can
be used for packing, cooling/washing, draining and then moving produce
(especially greens)?
Thinking of you all moving into your busiest season as we move into our
slowest,
All best wishes,
Karen
