Sloan Lott, Director of Sales, Bland Farms“At Bland Farms, we are having a great Vidalia Sweet Onion Season. We are continuing to see increased movement on Vidalia’s with the Fourth of July rapidly approaching, and the demand for Vidalia Sweet Onions remains high,” says Sloan Lott, Director of Sales. “So, we are even more excited to announce that Bland Farms has extended our Vidalia season through mid-to-late August this year.”

With this extended season, Bland Farms is expecting a continued increase in demand. It will also allow the grower to build a solid inventory of Peruvian Sweet Onions for consumers to enjoy after the Vidalia season comes to a close.
