Adults love Vidalias and will gladly buy if you ask them. We are told repeatedly every year it was the easiest item ever to sell! The farm-fresh 3 lb. box is a very practical size and very affordable for your customers, and very profitable for your group.
LOOK HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE $1000+ FOR YOUR TRAVEL TEAM!!
We have 350 member leagues that make over $10,000 each spring. We also have 15 member cheer squads sell 800 boxes! If your team of 12 averages 25 boxes sold per person, that's 300 boxes and you will make $1050, or more depending on the selling price you set. We routinely have individuals sell 50, 100, and on occasion 200 boxes! Remember, no one has sold our 3 lb. boxes in your community over and over this year, and adults will gladly buy them — IF YOU JUST ASK! Offer cash incentive prizes to your top 3 sellers and watch your sales explode!

VIDALIA FAQs
What is a Vidalia Onion? A delicious, naturally sweet mild onion from a very small geographical area in southeastern Georgia. Prized for their sweetness, they are only available fresh in the spring. The state of Georgia strictly regulates which onions are qualified to be called Vidalias. Although there are imposters out there, for nearly 20 years our Vidalias have been from the same approved grower located in the heart of Vidalia country.How many onions are there in a 3 lb. box? This varies depending on the size of the onions. Most are the size of an apple or a small orange, usually with 8-12 per box. Many people prefer the size of our onions because there is less waste than with the huge ones.
How are they delivered? The onions are drop shipped by truck to your location of choice. They are delivered stacked on wooden pallets. It is important to have them delivered to an area where they can be sheltered until pickup.
When are they delivered? Late April or early May, depending on when the crop is ready, which is determined by weather and growth conditions. We will notify you in time to make your plans.
Do we need help for the delivery? Yes. Having enough help will make delivery and transfer go smoother. Our trucks carry a jack so the pallets can easily be moved to the rear of the truck. One pickup truck with a camper top can hold up to 400 boxes.
Do I have to worry about the onions spoiling? Not if you plan to distribute them reasonably soon after delivery. Although onions are moderately perishable they will hold up fine if not stored in a hot car for a length of time. Storage tips are included with each box and if followed will greatly increase shelf life. In November we still have delicious Vidalias in our refrigerator vegetable bins from the Spring!
What if customers want more than 3 lbs? Tell them to buy more boxes! You set the selling price so you may wish to offer a discount for multiple boxes. You will make slightly less per box but more per sale.
What if a customer is unhappy? We will ship you a 2% overage of your order total. That way there will be extra onions in the rare event someone is not pleased.
How do we know this will work? People love Vidalias. You are selling a product that is unique, that is healthy and is considered very affordable. No one has sold them in your area over and over like so many other products. You really need the money to travel, and your kids and parents love to compete for the cash prize you offer. Plus, if you decide to sell with us, we will share with you our guidelines for selling and provide the benefit of our many years of experience helping groups successfully fund their valuable youth activities.I have heard of other groups selling Vidalias in the area. What's that about? Occasionally a civic group may sell, but they are large quantities, such as 20 lb. bags. Most people can't use that many onions. Our 3 lb. box is the perfect size for most people and the cost remains below $10, which is a very strong selling point. Plus, unlike bags, our boxes keep the onion skins from making a mess and are much easier to handle. For years we have worked with various leagues and each year whole leagues sell Vidalias with us. If you are in an area where there is a league sale, your success should not be limited because no one ever sells all the Vidalias possible in an area. After delivery, leagues always hear from people who just heard about it and wished they had the opportunity to purchase delicious Vidalias!!
