Essentials Crate May 2021 Review

Market Tote
I live literally up the hill in my smaller PA town and we have a farmers market in an easy walking distance every Thursday this time of year. This bag is absolutely perfect for stashing my fruits and veggies and hauling them back up the hill safely. It has a ridiculous amount of compartments for bread, produce, WINE, or anything else you might dream of placing inside. It is also deceptively sized, holding a lot more than it first appears. The material is a sturdy canvas and the handles and bottom of the back are a heavier faux-leather material, fastened securely with metal rivets.
I appreciate the cream canvas because it coordinated with anything. Even old bike shorts.

Reusable Cotton Muslin and Cotton Mesh Produce Bag Set (6) and Cotton Tote
Continuing the farmer's market theme, our next item is a really great set of market bags made out of cotton. It includes three muslin bags, three mesh bags, and an expandable netted tote. They are made of 100% cotton and are reusable over and over.

Silverstre Brazilian Wildflower Organic Honey from Bee Seasonal 4oz - Retail Value $6.00
Finally, my last item is a little jar of honey! Between Will and myself, we are kind of... honey snobs. We drink a lot of tea and make a lot of baked goods that include honey, so we like the good stuff! This is absolutely that and I used it to make some no-bake protein balls. The subtle floral taste enhances the peanut butter and oats I use beautifully and makes my favorite healthy treat feel even more special.
The Verdict: Essentials Crate is always so great at a theme! And I always love how the included items arrive in subtle colors and minimal style. As someone who does in fact go to a farmers market each week, these new bags are the perfect transition from the wadded-up Target bags I usually haul down the hill. The quality of every item is great and if I have one complaint, it is that I enjoyed the honey way too fast!
