This hardwood egg storage crate is the functional answer to the question backyard-flock owners hit at three dozen birds and up: what do you store the morning haul in before processing? The large 13 by 13 by 11 inch size holds 10 full dozen eggs (120 eggs total) — enough capacity for a multi-day collection from a medium flock or a single haul from a large one. Smaller sizes hold 5 dozen and 18 eggs respectively.
Built from American hardwood strips and weighing in at 5 lb, the crate is sturdy enough to carry eggs in from the barn unharmed, hand off a couple dozen to a neighbor or take to the farmers’ market, and double as decorative kitchen storage between trips. The open slat construction lets eggs breathe and lets the user see exactly what’s inside without disturbing the load — important when you’re working through a stock of mixed-age eggs and want to grab the oldest first.
Beyond eggs, the crate works equally well for tomato harvest, apple gathering, root vegetable storage in a cool pantry, and as a general farmhouse-styled storage piece on a kitchen counter or pantry shelf. USA made and built to outlast the chicken flock that fills it — the kind of utility woodwork that earns daily use and gets handsomer with age.
