Vidalia onion producers will start shipping onions April 17, this year’s official pack date set by the Georgia Agriculture Commissioner. The pack date is determined by soil and weather conditions during the growing season to help ensure only the highest quality Vidalia onions, known for their sweet, mild flavor, are shipped to stores. 

Vidalia onions are available for a limited time each year between April and early September. Approximately 11,000 acres of Vidalia onions were planted for the 2024 season.
