I use Buckhorn 7/8 bushel totes. They are stackable, nestable and made from a food grade material. I have some that have been used for 8 seasons now and they are still in great shape.

Here is a link. http://www.buckhorn-plastic.com/index.cfm?mf=browse.showClass&partCatID=946&category=Agricultural%20Containers . The model I use is their Harvest Container.

Greetings,

Being a sustainable farm, I do not want to run a CSA that adds a bunch of trash to the landfill. We are looking for re-usable containers for our produce, that can be returned to us and packed again. Does anyone else operate this way? Any ideas?

Walmart has coolers for $1.88, I am making terry towel bags to go over the cold packs, that can be washed each week. My biggest concern is how to deal with loose leaf lettuce heads and other greens.

Does anyone know the health issues of using cloth bags?
