If can buy eggs either straight from the farmer or in bulk from a wholesaler, a basket or two can come in handy. Our local retailers package eggs in plastic cartons, so we were very interested in finding an alternative. Or first strategy was to reuse the plastic cartons when we bought eggs in bulk from a vegetable truck. The skimpy plastic containers were not designed for reuse.
This basket that is locally made holds a dozen eggs. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to make these as time goes by.
