Hi Roy, I’d second the fiber pak containers –
cheap, biodegradable, and readily available. For portability, I’ve seen
people put a cellulose wrapper over them secured with an elastic, but I find a
pint slides nicely into a paper lunch bag which is secure and easy to carry
(though not as showy). I’ve worked with the PLA “biodegradable/compostable”
bio-plastic containers, but as much as I like the concept, the current reality
is that our local municipalities don’t accept them for recycling OR
composting (hello landfill), they are quite expensive, and any exposure to heat
or direct sunlight makes them deform and fuse together into a useless lump. Hope this helps, Rob Songberry Organic Farm facebook: "Songberry Organic

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Buck Family Hi
folks, I’d
like to be able to sell produce such as cherry tomatoes in recyclable or
biodegradable containers. Can anyone suggest a supplier of such
containers that they have been happy with? Regards, Ever
