Georgia may be known as the “Peach State”, but we could just as well be known as the “Onion State” because the world-famous Vidalia Onion can only be grown in Georgia.  Today is the day that Vidalia Onions will begin to be shipped across the state and across the United States.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Vidalia Onion Committee announced April 12th as the official pack date for the 2022 Vidalia onion season.

Only available for a limited time each year, Vidalia onions hitting grocery store shelves often signals spring has sprung for fans near and far from the onions’ home state of Georgia.

The pack date is determined by growing season soil and weather conditions to ensure the highest quality Vidalia onions.
