Growing recommendations
Seed onions in February to April in flats (densely 30/foot). Transplant early in the spring – onion seedling can withstand a light frost. Transplant individual plants every 4” in rows 15” apart. Harvest after necks soften and greens start to droop. Onions need curing if you want to store them any length of time.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
