Vidalia onion lovers can rejoice because the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Vidalia Onion Committee announced the iconic sweet onion is set to ship with an official pack date of April 12 for the 2022 Vidalia onion season.

For more than 20 years, John Shuman, president and CEO of Shuman Farms, has been a key driver of cause-marketing in the produce industry. Through programs like Healthy Family Project, the Feeding America bag promotions and supporting breast cancer awareness in October, giving back has always been a priority for Shuman and his company.  

G&R Farms partnered with five regional and national retail operators during November and December to raise over $13,000 in donations for seven local charities and food banks throughout the U.S thanks to their second annual Seasons of Giving promotional campaign.

Stanley Farms and Richter & Co. have partnered in a significant Vidalia onion program, which will enhance and further strengthen their existing year-round onion program. 

“Given our national reach and distribution model, this will represent a huge opportunity for our customers,” said Jarrod Snider, director of sales for Richter. 

The two organizations have partnered together since 1975. This strategic move will position the organization for continued growth and expansion well into the future.  

Sunions are America’s first tearless and sweet onions, and they’re back in season with a fresh crop now available on grocer’s shelves. These groundbreaking onions didn’t happen by accident. Sunions are a product of more than three decades of farming, research and development to achieve an uncompromising brand promise that each onion must be certified both tearless and sweet before shipping to retailers.
