Shuman Farms celebrates the start of the Vidalia® onion season

With the Vidalia season well underway, Shuman Farms, a leading grower and shipper in the sweet onion industry, is pleased to announce the successful start of the Vidalia onion shipping season, highlighted by a series of events with partners Food Lion and Royal Food Service .

The Vidalia onion season officially started at 8 a.m. on April 17, when Shuman Farms sent the first shipment from their Cobbtown, Georgia facility. Vidalia onions were shipped to supermarkets and wholesalers in the United States and Canada on the first day of availability. Food Lion locations in Vidalia, Statesboro, Metter and Reidsville, Georgia were among the first to receive their shipments as customers eagerly awaited their arrival, setting them apart as among the first in the country to purchase a bag.

To celebrate this day, Shuman Farms partnered with Georgia Southern University (GSU) Athletics to host a season kickoff event at the Food Lion location in Statesboro, Georgia. The event featured a series of festivities, including performances by GSU cheerleaders and the university’s mascot, Gus. . Attendees also had the opportunity to enter a customer giveaway, with prizes ranging from GSU baseball tickets to Food Lion gift cards and exclusive Shuman Farms swag. The presence of Shuman Farms representatives, including Shuman, Sales Director Brandon Parker and Marketing Director Adam Brady – all proud GSU alumni – added a personal touch to the celebration.
