The Chattooga County Young Farmers are once again offering Georgia-Grown Vidalia onions for sale as the 2026 season gets underway.
According to the group, the order deadline is April 17, with pickup tentatively planned for the last week of April. Customers can place an order through a Young Farmer member or by scanning the QR code on the sale flyer.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture says the state has officially been declared free of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, also known as bird flu, though officials stress that poultry growers and flock owners still need to stay on guard. Georgia regained its HPAI-free status as of March 13, allowing the state to resume exports and international trade of poultry products.
Chattooga County Young Farmers have a busy slate of events coming up in December and January, including a Christmas party, a chance to meet Georgia’s Agriculture Commissioner, and the group’s annual awards banquet.
Farmers from across Northwest Georgia are invited to a reception and meet-and-greet with Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event will be held at Happy Valley Farm, located at 490 Hutcheson Road in Rossville (30741).
