really! - for how many?

seems unreasonable, but shipping is ever more expensive -

I don't know about kentucky, I do my business out of south west michigan -

here's a map of farm markets in kentucky - https://www.kyfb.com/federation/program-links/roadside-farm-markets/ - I'd call around to a few and find out who sells them packaging - you might get lucky and find one near you that would sell you some baskets or let you get in on an order -

the other resource would be to contact the extension service - they should be able to direct you to kentucky suppliers -

I do have a friend in southern indiana with contacts in the fruit growing community - I'll email him and ask - in what part of KY are you located?

I emailed my friend - he didn't know off hand, but will be talking to some growers and will get back with me -

how soon do you need them? - I'll be going to the hort society meetings in mid june (which is in SW indiana this year with a side trip to KY) - I could easily find out information then -
