Hey Farm Friends.
It's Brian from FarmWild.
Hey I'm looking for a reliable and inexpensive source for produce packing boxes. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of any box producers or suppliers in WA state. The cost of freight from the national companies is so high, sometimes more than a pallet of boxes themselves. I like the boxes I commonly find in the recycle bins that say NorthWest produce on the outside. They seem to be pretty popular around here, but I can't locate a source for them. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, please reach out to me directly. I probably need a pallet or half pallet worth of a couple different sizes, and I'd also be willing to share an order with anyone in the same boat.
Thanks much,
Happy Spring.
Brian- The basil guy

Years ago, the go-to was a family owned business in Kent named Market Supply. They sold the company to Walter E Nelson. I buy from Todd Barene (425) 443-7847. They have a fairly wide selection of market supplies (boxes, paper bags, plastic). This is just a tiny part of their business to its not a perfect fit. But they do have a branch in
Ferndale and they will ship to Ferndale for no charge.

Check with Boldly Grown—I remember them saying they had a good source for boxes.
