World-Famous Vidalia Sweet Onions
Did you know the discovery of this now-famous sweet onion was actually a fluke? Georgia farmers in the 1930s were disappointed with results from traditional row crops like cotton and tobacco. Looking for a new “cash cow”, they planted onions. Imagine their surprise when the fledgling crop turned out sweet instead of hot like regular onions! So, what is it about Vidalias that makes them so sweet? Southeast Georgia’s mild climate, the area’s sandy, low-sulfur soil, exclusive seed varieties, and precise farming practices make this original sweet onion mild and flavorful. Today, Vidalia onions are a seasonal treat anticipated each spring by millions of consumers coast to coast. Come in tomorrow, April 30, and get the first of the season's Vidalia Onions.
