New brochures/rack cards ready for Vidalia onions
The Vidalia Onion Committee has designed three new brochures and point-of-sale cards available to growers and packers, produce managers, the public and anyone else wanting to find out about Vidalia onions and how to prepare them.
Vidalia Onions - Just the Sweet Facts is an informative brochure that tells all about the history of Vidalia onions, interesting facts, growing season and availability, planting and harvesting, and how to store and save.
Favorite Vidalia Onion Recipes is a brochure featuring simple "down home" Southern recipes that highlight the sweet flavor of Vidalia onions.
"Nutritional Value of Vidalias" is a rack card with nutritional information, production facts and a map of the Vidalia growing region.
"It is incredible the number of calls and e-mails we get during the season asking how to store Vidalias, how you can freeze Vidalias and when exactly you can buy them," Vidalia Onion Committee Executive Director Wendy Brannen said in a press release. "We also get a high volume of consumer contacts requesting simple Southern recipes."
The purpose of the new brochures and rack cards is to make this information readily available to the public and also to those who want to display them in their stores or offices. Ms. Brannen also uses them while on the road representing the committee at events such as state fairs, farmers market events that highlight Vidalia onions or Georgia-grown products, and national and regional trade shows.
Ms. Brannen said that there have been some good materials printed in the past, but many were produced by sources other than the committee or were outdated. "This is an opportunity for the committee to fill a void in our outreach efforts by providing concise, updated materials directly from our office. And, very important, they include the new Vidalia logo and a consistent feel in their layout," she said in the release.
