Custom Wooden Crates for Farms, Orchards and Farmers Markets
branded crates from field to market table.
Custom wooden crates give farms, orchards and farmers market growers one branded container that works in the field, on the market table and in the farm store. Get Custom Crates builds them with your farm name and logo from a minimum of 12, sends a free mockup within 24 hours and ships in about 2 weeks.
Custom wooden crates for every job on the farm.
Harvest and field picking
Open slatted crates carry apples, greens and root vegetables from the row to the truck, breathe while they wait and hose off clean, with the farm name engraved on the end panel.
Farmers market stall display
Stack and tilt matching display crates into a tiered table so the logo faces shoppers walking the aisle and the stall photographs well in customer posts.
Berries, herbs and eggs
Mini crates and caddies hold pint-style berries, bunched herbs and egg cartons without crushing, and sit by the register as an easy add-on purchase.
CSA and farm-share pickup
Members fill their weekly share into branded crates at the pickup point, or carry a farm-logo crate home and bring it back every week all season.
Farm-store gift crates
Lidded gift and hamper crates present preserves, honey, cider or a produce sampler as a keepsake that holiday shoppers take home and keep.
Orchard u-pick and farm stand
U-pick customers fill orchard-branded crates in the rows, and the same style lines the farm stand so the field and the shop share one look.

Why do farms and market growers order custom wooden crates?
Farms order custom wooden crates because a crate is the one container that touches every part of a small farm business: picking in the field, hauling to market, holding produce on the stall table and going home with a customer as a gift. Putting the farm name on that crate turns a working tool into signage that travels.
At a farmers market, shoppers scan a row of tables in seconds. A stall built from matching wooden crates stamped with the farm logo reads as established and cared for, and it photographs well when customers post their haul. Plastic bins and cardboard flats do the job, but they say nothing about who grew the food.
Get Custom Crates builds crates for the full range of farm uses, from small berry and herb caddies to sturdy crates that stand up to repeated loading. Because the minimum is 12, a single family farm can order a uniform stall set without committing to a warehouse full of stock.
Which crate styles work best for harvest, market and farm-store use?
The best crate style for a farm depends on the job: open slatted crates for harvest and airflow, display crates for the market table, small caddies for berries and herbs, and lidded gift crates for the farm store. Most farms end up ordering two styles that share one logo so everything matches.
| Farm job | Crate style to ask for | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Picking and hauling | Open slatted crates, or heavy-duty crates for heavier loads | Gaps let produce breathe; sturdier builds handle repeat trips to the truck |
| Market stall display | Retail display crates | Stack and tilt into tiered displays with the logo facing shoppers |
| Berries, herbs, eggs, honey jars | Mini crates and caddies | Small format keeps soft produce from crushing and suits impulse buys |
| Farm-store gifts and holiday boxes | Gift and hamper crates | Present preserves, cider or a produce sampler as a keepsake |
| Vineyards and cideries | Wine crates | Sized and divided for bottles |
If you are unsure which build suits your load, describe what goes inside on the quote form and the Get Custom Crates team will suggest a style on the mockup.
How should a farm logo go on a wooden crate: engraved or printed?
Engraving is usually the better choice for farm crates that see field work, washing and weather, because the mark is cut into the wood and wears with it. Printing suits display and gift crates where a full-color logo, a farm illustration or several colors matter more than abrasion resistance.
Think about where each crate lives. Harvest crates get dragged across truck beds, stacked wet and hosed down, so a burned-in farm name ages along with the wood. Market display crates sit facing the aisle and benefit from a bold, high-contrast logo that shoppers can read from a distance. Farm-store gift crates are handled gently and often kept, which makes them a good place for detailed artwork.
- Engraved: farm name, simple logo, established date, location line
- Printed: color logos, illustrations, seasonal messaging on gift crates
- Both in one order: engraved working crates plus printed display or gift crates from the same artwork
The branded wooden crates page shows how logos sit on the crate faces.
How do you plan a custom crate order around the growing season?
Plan a farm crate order backward from the first market day or harvest you want the crates for, leaving about 2 weeks for production after you approve the mockup, plus time for any artwork changes. Ordering in the slower weeks before the season starts keeps crates from arriving in the middle of a harvest rush.
- List the jobs. Separate harvest, display and gift crates so each gets the right style.
- Count the stall. Lay out your market table and count how many crates fill it, then add spares for the busiest weekends.
- Send your logo. Upload the farm logo or just the farm name on the quote form.
- Approve the mockup. Get Custom Crates returns a free mockup within 24 hours, with unlimited free revisions.
- Receive and set up. Standard turnaround is about 2 weeks; express shipping can shorten it when the season sneaks up.
Holiday gift crates for the farm store follow the same steps, so place that order once fall harvest planning is done rather than waiting for the first holiday market.
Can a CSA or farm-share program use branded crates?
Yes, a CSA or farm-share program can use branded wooden crates as the pickup container or as a welcome gift for new members. A crate with the farm logo makes each weekly share feel like a delivery from a known grower rather than a bag of vegetables.
Programs use crates in a few ways. Some keep a set of crates at the pickup point and let members fill their share into them on site. Others hand each member a crate at sign-up to bring back every week, which cuts down on disposable packaging and keeps the farm name in the member’s kitchen all season. A season-end crate filled with preserves or squash makes a thank-you that members remember at renewal time.
Because Get Custom Crates starts at 12, a small CSA can test a member-crate program before scaling it, then reorder the same approved artwork as membership grows.
What should a farm send with its quote request?
A farm quote request for custom crates only needs a few details: what goes inside each crate, how many you want, which style or styles you have in mind, your logo or farm name, and the date you need them. Get Custom Crates fills in the rest on the mockup.
- Contents: berries, apples, root vegetables, eggs, jars or bottles, since the load decides the build
- Quantity: 12 or more per order
- Use: field, market display, CSA pickup or gift
- Artwork: any logo file you have, or just the farm name and town
- Date: first market, harvest start or holiday sale
Pricing depends on crate style, size, wood, decoration and quantity, so the fastest way to an accurate number is the custom quote form. You pay nothing until you approve the design. For more on wood choices, read Crate Lumber vs. Plywood vs. OSB, and see how it works for the full ordering process.

Custom crates for farms, orchards and farmers markets, answered.
Can a farmers market stall order a small set of branded crates?
Branded crates for a farmers market stall can be ordered in sets as small as 12, which covers most single-table displays with a few spares. Get Custom Crates applies your farm name or logo to every crate in the set, so the whole stall matches. Send your table layout or a photo on the quote form and the mockup will show how the crates stack.
Are wooden crates good for displaying produce at market?
Wooden crates are one of the most practical produce display fixtures at a market because they stack, tilt and rearrange as stock sells down through the day. A crate stood on its side becomes a shelf, and a tilted crate pushes apples or squash toward shoppers. Get Custom Crates offers retail display crates designed for exactly this kind of tiered setup.
Which crate size suits berries and cherry tomatoes?
Berry and cherry tomato crates work best in a small format, because soft fruit crushes under its own weight in deep containers. The mini crates and caddies from Get Custom Crates suit pint-style portions, herbs and egg cartons, and they make a natural add-on purchase at the register. Describe the produce on the quote form and the mockup will suggest a size.
Can an orchard put its name on apple picking crates?
Apple picking crates can carry an orchard name and logo, usually engraved so the mark survives repeated hauling, stacking and washing. Get Custom Crates builds open slatted crates for airflow and sturdier heavy-duty crates for heavier loads. Many orchards also order a printed display set for the farm store so the u-pick field and the shop share one look.
Should farm crates have open slats or solid sides?
Farm crates with open slats suit fresh produce that needs airflow and drains after rinsing, such as apples, greens and root vegetables. Solid-sided crates suit jars, bottles, gift sets and items you want hidden from dust. Plenty of farms order both styles from Get Custom Crates with the same logo, using slatted crates in the field and solid crates for the store.
Can a CSA program give members a crate with the farm logo?
A CSA program can give each member a branded crate to carry weekly shares home and bring back, which keeps the farm name in their kitchen all season. Get Custom Crates builds these from a minimum of 12, so a small farm-share can start with one pickup site. The same approved artwork can be reordered when membership grows next season.
Do farm-store gift crates work for holiday sales?
Farm-store gift crates work well for holiday sales because a crate filled with preserves, honey, cider or a produce sampler feels like a keepsake rather than a basket. Get Custom Crates offers gift and hamper crates that can be printed with color artwork or seasonal messaging. Order once fall harvest planning is done so crates arrive before the first holiday market.
Can a vineyard or cidery order branded bottle crates?
A vineyard or cidery can order branded wooden bottle crates for gift sets, tasting-room display or club shipments. Get Custom Crates lists dedicated wine crates that are sized and divided for bottles, and they can carry the same engraved or printed logo as the rest of a farm's crates. Note the bottle count per crate on the quote form.
How do I count how many crates my market table needs?
The crate count for a market table comes from laying out your current display and counting the containers that fill it, then adding spares for peak weekends and damaged pieces. Separate display crates from harvest and gift crates since each may be a different style. Get Custom Crates can help size the order once you share a photo of your stall.
Will an engraved farm logo survive washing and weather?
An engraved farm logo is cut into the wood surface, so the mark wears along with the crate instead of peeling or flaking off. That makes engraving the usual pick for crates that get rinsed, stacked wet and loaded into trucks. Get Custom Crates can show an engraved version on your free mockup so you can judge legibility before approving.
What if my farm only has a hand-drawn logo or no logo at all?
A farm with a hand-drawn logo or only a name can still order branded crates. Upload a clear photo or scan of the sketch, or simply type the farm name and town, and Get Custom Crates will lay it out on the mockup within 24 hours. Unlimited free revisions let you adjust lettering and placement until the crate looks right.
Can one farm crate order mix harvest, display and gift styles?
A single farm crate order can be planned around several styles, such as slatted harvest crates, retail display crates and gift crates, all carrying the same logo. Mention every style you need on the quote form and Get Custom Crates will mock up each one. Keeping one artwork across styles makes the field, stall and farm store look like one brand.
When should a farm order crates before the market season opens?
A farm should order crates early enough to cover mockup approval plus about 2 weeks of standard production before the first market day. Ordering in the quieter weeks before the season avoids receiving crates mid-harvest. If the opening date is close, Get Custom Crates offers faster turnaround with express shipping, so mention the date on your quote request.
What affects the cost of custom crates for a farm?
The cost of custom crates for a farm depends on the crate style, size, wood, decoration method and the quantity ordered, with heavier builds and multi-color printing adding more than small engraved caddies. Get Custom Crates prices each farm order individually through the quote form, and you pay nothing until you approve the mockup, so there is no risk in asking.
Can a farm reorder the same crates next season?
A farm can reorder the same custom crates next season using the artwork already approved, which keeps new crates matching the ones on the stall. Reorders follow the same minimum of 12 and the same turnaround of about 2 weeks. Get Custom Crates can also update a season or establishment line on the reorder if your farm wants a refresh.
Do branded crates help customers remember a farm after market day?
Branded crates help customers remember a farm because the logo shows up in the stall photos they share and, with gift or CSA crates, in their homes for months. A plain bin does not carry a name home. Get Custom Crates puts the farm name on every piece, turning the containers you already need into lasting signage.
