America's Favorite Sweet Onions
Only Georgia Grown
During the tough days of the Great Depression, farmers had high hopes of a new cash crop. These hard-working men had grown everything from corn to cotton in Georgia's sandy soil, and onions seemed to hold some promise of better profits.
Imagine their surprise and concern when what grew was not an instant money-maker but a strange onion that wasn't hot! It didn't take long though for word to spread of this new, delicious, sweet onion. From the local market in the 1940s to the national super stores of today, the popularity of Vidalia onions continues to escalate. No longer just a "southern thing," Vidalias are available in 50 states and most of Canada. Want to know more?
The 2015 shipping season has officially begun so you can enjoy the sweetness of a Georgia Grown Vidalia onion today. Look for Vidalia onions in your local grocery store and find some great recipes to cook up right here!
