Onion order cutoff next week
You'll be crying happy tears when you order Vidalia onions before the deadline. The Cobb County UGA Extension is accepting pre-orders. Order your 10-pound bags of medium-sized onions for $12 by 5 p.m. April 9.
If you think that's a lot of onions, Vidalia onions can last for one to two months stored in a cool, dry place, or up to six months when refrigerated. You can also peel, chop and freeze them in a resealable plastic bag for a few months. You may also choose to donate a bag to the St. Vincent De Paul Society Food Pantry.
Onions arrive the week of Mother’s Day and pick-up will be available immediately upon arrival. Final pick-up date is 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. May 17. Download your pre-order form here
