Hershberger Baker's Basket with Lid

Eli Hershberger and his family, with five small kids, make baskets in rural Minnesota. They are an Amish family who grow their own food on a small plot, keep one horse and a cow, and use a generator to power their saw. Since the road outside their farm has been closed they've had no place to sell their baskets. You can't drive too far in a horse and buggy. So a friend asked if we would consider stocking bike baskets and if they would make them.

This is large sized front basket based on the baskets European bakers used to use to deliver fresh bread and pastries. It's ideal for shopping or commuting. We suggest using it with a front rack because of it's large size, but some folks simply hang it from their handlebars. The Leather straps are from the local harness maker.
