## One Product to Last past next Earth Month

With Earth Month in full swing, greener living is top of mind, but a simple way 
to practice sustainability. For that’s during Earth Month and year round. It is 
by purchasing durable, high-quality products that will last a lifetime rather than
clutter a landfill.

With high-quality pieces from Kaufmann Mercantile, a curated online shopping experience
offering a thoughtful selection of quality goods with simple and utilitarian beauty,
consumers can fill their lives with functional pieces they’ll have forever. Kaufmann
Mercantile is committed to products that stand the test of time and to makers that
use materials that come from nature – you will have a hard time finding any kind
of synthetics in its store.[⌊Crates size. apple crates from kaufmann mercantile⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/apple-crates-kaufmann-mercantile.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)

## Here is one example.

Popular sized wood crates sized with golden oak stain. Assembled with full round
head steel nails. Made by the Pennsylvania [Amish](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/01/author-finds-green-living-wisdom-in-amish-principles-offers-money-saving-tips-with-positive-environmental-impact/).
Comes in three crates sizes. Especially or as a nesting set.

### See all measurements below under Specifications.

Our crates are put together with full round head steel nails, instead of the industrial
staples typically used to build crates. They are handmade out of solid, air-dried
poplar from trees cut in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Fashioned in the style of [apple crates from the area’s surrounding orchards](https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/10/apple-orchards-cultivating-a-timeless-tradition/).
For these sturdy containers do double-duty in your garden and home.

The small size holds just over 2 dry gallons of produce and can keep your kitchen
items. That’s such as [glass bottles](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/11/auca-campus-a-transformative-educational-hub-in-central-asia/)
and jars, or toiletries.

The medium size holds just over 4 dry gallons of produce and has the ideal dimensions
for storing standard-size magazines.

### Large Size

The large size holds just over 9 dry gallons of produce. It can be used to keep 
your pantry goods, such as onions and potatoes. Stack the wood crates to create 
compartment bookshelves, place them upturned by your bed or sofa as side tables,
or use them to store small children’s toys.
