I am also specifically interested in bins used for picking and storing the following crops (probably more than one bin type total): tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, greens and roots (with or without greens).&#8221;<\/em> User responses are as follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We pick all of our large and plum tomatoes into the yellow harvest totes, found in our catalog. They are super durable, we toss them out of trucks into the field and they have lasted 4 years so far. They nest and stack which is a huge plus for storage. Also, they stack on a pallet so it is easy to move around. Easy to clean and overall a great item. Summer squash and zucchini and cucumbers would be great in the yellow totes as well, they have handles on each side so it makes it easy to move around. For greens either the red harvest tote which nests and stacks with the yellow making it a huge space saver, or the green harvest tote. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookdalefruitfarm.com\/\">View the catalog on their website. <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buckhorninc.com\/\">Buckhorn<\/a>! Best crates and some of our original ones used almost weekly from 1995 are still used. They have a list of discounted ones. And they manufacture many sizes. There is a $5000 minimum order to get great pricing (about $10 per bin) or you can order through a distributor with smaller quantities. We get diff colors and sizes and styles for market, storage, and diff weights of crops. We use the lidded 21x15x12 for most everything for markets. We tip to drain them (stack on edge) for the lettuce. We do not want holes in them though I know others drill holes. They would be too messy in our thoughts. Also, use the 9\u201d and double-hinged ones, but are looking to get straight wall ones with no lids for tomatoes, strawberries, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macroplastics.com\/\">Macro Plastic<\/a>. Most of mine are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macroplastics.com\/product\/macrobin-34-fv\/\">34FV<\/a>. I have some shorter. They are the industry standard really. Light, durable, washable, Incredibly stackable. Pricewise they get pricy when you have to get them shipped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At Long Wind Farm, we still have many used &#8220;fish boxes.&#8221; [Also referred to as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fishtotes.com\/product-item\/70liter-fish-totes-vertical-ribs\/\">fish totes<\/a>&#8220;] They are excellent plastic boxes for harvest. Volume is about 1\/10 of a yard (19&#8243; by 31&#8243; by 12&#8243;) They stack or nest. Price is $5 to $6.50 each, depending on volume. We also have many used red plastic berry boxes (13.5&#8243; by 19&#8243; by 4.5&#8221;) Price is $4 to $5.50 each, depending on volume. They stack or nest. They are commonly used for harvesting berries. We use them for harvesting tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These trays by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbiscorporation.com\/en-us\/products\/hand-held-containers\/stack-n-nest\/af2416-4-npl-680#.YTDDuI5KiUm\" target=\"_blank\">Orbis<\/a> are what we use for tomatoes. They are more durable than cardboard shippers, you can stack them easily and they have a smooth bottom to not leave any indents on the fruit. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Container Comparison<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>These harvest containers can be called many things, so here are some pictures to show some of the types, and features available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note on pricing<\/strong>: Prices noted on the following products is for reference only and highly variable based on litem specifics including size, shipping location, quantity ordered and may change based on product availability at the time.

We regularly wash and spin baby arugula, lettuce salad mixes, micro greens, and pea shoots. The fish basket fits perfectly into the top of the Speed Queen without any adjustments. It simply plops in, and sits there. As long as the greens are evenly distributed the fish baskets will hold in place without any additional securing for the spinning process. The holes on the baskets are large enough to let water escape, but tight enough to limit the loss of even our smallest micro greens. Some do slip through, but a very marginal amount. The fish baskets are also easy to clean and sanitize. The ridges, holes, and lips of the baskets are not super deep, and a simple brush can easily reach everything for a thorough cleaning.&#8221;  &#8211; Russell Honderd, Love is Love Cooperative Farm
