Description

  • Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border and signed by the very hands that wove it. No two baskets are exactly alike.
  • True One Bushel Size: Filled to the top, this bushel basket holds a full bushel of produce. It is an oval woven bushel basket on a solid wood bottom, with a leather loop handle at each end.
  • Room for the Whole Pick: Measures 19 1/2 inches long, 15 1/2 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, with tapered woven sides and a leather loop handle at each end for the walk from the garden rows to the kitchen.
  • Solid Wooden Bottom: The bottom is solid hardwood, so the basket sits flat and steady beside you while you pick and will not sag under a full load of tomatoes or apples.
  • Built to Carry Weight: A reinforced rim and a tight supportive rattan reed weave let this wooden bushel basket carry a full load of produce season after season, with smooth leather handles that are easy on your hands.
  • Three Classic Looks: Choose the Plain natural weave, or add a woven band of color in Wine & Blue or Wine & Green trim.
  • Optional Add-Ons: If you like, add a fabric liner in Cream, Wine, Blue, or Green, a brass plate engraved with your personalized text, or protective feet, all optional, right on this page.
  • American Heritage: Handwoven in America by an Amish family, signed by the weaver, backed by our lifetime guarantee, and shipped free to your door.

A bushel basket earns its keep the moment the garden starts giving. This is the basket you carry down the rows when the tomatoes all come ripe in the same week, the one that waits by the back door when a neighbor calls about sweet corn, and the one that rides along to the orchard when the apples come in. The wide open top lets you see everything you have gathered at a glance, and the sides taper so the basket sets down steady while you pick.

Bushel baskets are bought by volume, often for orchard or market days. This bushel basket measures 19 1/2 inches long by 15 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches deep, and filled to the top it holds one full bushel. The bottom is solid wood so it sits flat and steady on the ground or the porch floor, the rim is reinforced for a full load of produce, and the tight weave supports a full load without bending. Each one carries the handwritten signature of the Amish family member who wove it, and the same lifetime guarantee that stands behind every basket we sell.

Between growing seasons, this wooden bushel basket keeps right on working. It holds potatoes, onions, and squash in the pantry, gathers throws and mittens by the back door, dresses up an entryway or mudroom, and carries goods to the farmers market as easily as it carries them home. If you would like to line it for indoor duty or gift giving, an optional fabric liner in Cream, Wine, Blue, or Green can be added right on this page.

Every one of these baskets is handwoven by an Amish family in a small workshop on the Iowa-Missouri border, using rattan reed, solid hardwood, and skills passed down through generations. There is no factory and no assembly line, just patient hands and natural materials. Your basket ships free, arrives signed by its maker, and carries our lifetime guarantee. Returns are no questions asked. This is the kind of basket you buy once and hand down.
