Born of pure Yankee ingenuity, Pike's Original Maine Garden Hod reflects the very best of Maine's long tradition of functional art, craftsmanship and utility. Designed as a harvest basket but used for everything from a picnic basket to a knitting basket to a place to store kindling at the fireplace.
Pike's Original Maine Garden Hod measures 19-1/4"L x 11"W x 7-1/4"H and has a capacity of approximately two pecks (16 quarts) with the brand on one end.
I purchased both the Original and Little Hod's for my mother for mothers day. My mother is 75 and because of the pandemic wanted me to plant her a freedom garden. So we got busy and made her a 10x16 raised bed thats tall enough that she will not even have to bend over. We planted in her garden everything she loves and made it as maintenance free as possible. I knew she would love something hand crafted, I knew she would love something with history. I was right she plans to use the little hod on her bar to hold veggies and use her Original in the garden to pick and rinse. She loves them and I'll admit I'm jealous and want 2 of my own. Thanks.
I have ordered several of these over the years and have never been disappointed! I even sent one as a gift to friend who gardens and lives in Belgium! I own two and use both of them for different purposes . This is a GO-TO gift for anyone who gardens... I prefer the large size, but I can see uses for the smaller as well! Packing is good and delivery is very timely! High quality--- highly recommend!
I just bought this for a Christmas gift for my bookkeeper. She saw mine and loved it.
I discovered these when on a trip to Maine 10 years ago. I purchased one for myself and one for my neighbor. We both have used them extensively and they still are in like-new condition.
I compared quality of the one I purchased last month against my 10-year-old hod and they are identical.
Would highly recommend.
