Also in Jacksonville is my favorite basket supplier, Peacock Crate
Factory, 903 586-5321.
OOPS. I just googled trying to find the Peacock website. What I found
instead was a real estate listing of their property. It looks like
they are out of business. Started business in 1896. How sad. For
many years we have used hundreds of their 1 gallon baskets with bails
for picking blackberries.

Monte Packaging, http://montepkg.com, has a wide assortment of
packaging at surprisingly good prices.
Inland, in San Antonio, has a few types of produce boxes: 800 292-6133
There is another San Antonio produce box place, but contact information
does not fall to hand. Let me know if you REALLY want me to dig it
out.
