Do you like Vidalia onions?

More seriously, how much interaction do you have with the farmer(s)? Seems like there would need to be a lot of communication to make something like this work.

Super cool story!

Great question (do I like Vidalias).. I was indifferent on them at the start. But when you're surrounded by them, you start eating them. And now, I put Vidalias (or other sweet onions) on virtually anything. Eggs, Chili, burgers, list goes on..

And yes, I communicate quite frequently with the farmer. We got along quite well, and I'm fortunate for the friendship I have with him & his team.

Hah, same here. I was indifferent but introduced to sweet onions while in Mexico when they were being served, grilled whole, by a street vendor. I have been hooked since and buying them now whenever in season.
