bushel basket

Farm produce holder

A bushel basket is a round container, typically woven from wood slats or wicker, sized to hold one bushel of produce—about 35 liters or eight gallons.

Traditionally used for harvesting and selling apples, peaches, and other farm goods: We picked three bushel baskets of apples at the orchard.
