Some onions from California’s Imperial Valley have already shipped, and more will start shipping next week, according to several OnionBusiness contributors involved in that deal.
John Vlahandreas with Wada Farms reported on April 21 from Troy Caston Farms in the Imperial Valley. “We started loading last night,” he said. “It’s been flawless. The equipment has operated perfectly, and we brought in 500 bins. It’s windy now, and the onions are drying off and will be in good condition for packing.”
