Vidalia sweet onion season: A taste of tradition, a vision for the future
Hold onto your taste buds—the countdown to Vidalia Sweet Onion season is on! Soon, these iconic onions will be making their way from Georgia farms to your table.
The journey began in the early 1930s when Moses "Mose" Coleman discovered the uniquely sweet onions, now famously known as Vidalia Sweet Onions, growing in Toombs County. Vidalia Sweet Onions are grown during the short days of winter and harvested in spring. Each onion pulls nutrients from its top and bottom, forming its signature sweet rings. In ideal conditions, they can grow 1/8" in diameter every 24 hours.
With the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure on the horizon, Nash Produce is preparing to take advantage of every opportunity the show has to offer.
