The harvest lugs we bought were exactly what we
were looking for. We had checked several places
and these lugs were perfect and priced better than
others we saw. They are sturdy, yet not heavy to
handle, stackable when full and they nest for
storage convenience, requiring less storage space.
Our order was placed late in the season and still
arrived in time for harvest. When we need more, we
know where to go now.
Definitely the place to get your lugs.

Completely satisfied with the 30lb harvest lugs. They have worked great for harvesting heirloom tomatoes. We’ve also been using our lugs to transport various products to the Farmers market. Great service!
