Source for Wooden Barrels in NJ

I've done the searches and come up empty.

Does anyone have an inexpensive source for wooden barrels in NJ (hopefully near the Trenton area)? I'm looking to do a pair of strawberry barrels and potentially one of potatoes (should impress the kids).

Any sources would be appreciated.

I found my barrels at an unfinished furniture store (CT). They don't have any retail locations in NJ but maybe you have something similar?

@bumble_doodle, do you remember about how much those barrels cost? Just a ballpark figure. I'm constantly amazed how expensive this type of planter is. Hoping they might be less expensive from an unfinished place. Also, did you end up finishing them?

sarajill,
I bought the barrels in the pic above two years ago and I thought they were ~$20ea. Last year, I picked up two more from same place and they were $29.99. Not cheap, but nowhere near as pricy as some of the refurbished wine/whiskey barrels out there.

I didn't finish them - I let them weather naturally.
