The Vidalia onion season is set to start on April 15, 2025, as announced by the Georgia Agriculture Commissioner and the Vidalia Onion Committee. This date was recommended after a review by the Vidalia Onion Advisory Panel. Vidalia onions are known for their sweet taste and thrive in a special growing area in South Georgia. The pack date ensures only the best onions are sold, based on weather and soil conditions. This season, farmers have planted 10,000 acres of Vidalia onions. Despite bad weather, including storms and snow, the crop endured with minor damage. Farmers use traditional methods to grow and harvest these onions, which are typically available from April to early September. The Georgia Farm Bureau confirms that last year, in 2024, Vidalia onions  were still being shipped well into October. The Vidalia Onion Committee oversees the production and marketing of these onions, protecting the trademark established in 1986.
