YERINGTON, NV - Already a seasonal staple for many consumers, Peri & Sons Farms® Sweetie Sweet® onions are once again gaining momentum in the produce department as shoppers prepare their grocery lists for holiday gatherings and beyond. With this increased traffic already driving demand in the sweet onion space, you don’t want to miss out on the chance to capitalize on a beloved offering like Sweetie Sweets.

“There is something comforting in taking part in a celebration that has remained somewhat the same in America for four centuries and counting,” shared Teri Gibson, Director of Marketing. “The first Thanksgiving was a homegrown affair of native grains, fruits, and vegetables, and most likely included onions. We’re still growing onions like those, as well as many other varieties, on our family’s farm today.”

Sweetie Sweet onions are “Homegrown for the Holiday,” packed and shipped directly from the onion expert’s farm. This ensures every Sweetie Sweet onion purchased will taste fresher and last longer, bolstering brand loyalty and extending opportunities for retailers in the sweet onion category.

“Fall is Peri & Sons Farms’ Sweetie Sweet onion season, and the mellow, rich flavor of these onions is perfect in so many holiday favorites,” Teri adds. “From stuffings and dressings to soups and sauces and a host of side dishes, our specially grown sweet onion adds another dimension of flavor.”

To help inspire consumers with enticing recipes using Sweetie Sweet onions, Peri & Sons’ featured chef in November, Samantha Ferraro, has given a long-time favorite Thanksgiving side dish a new fresh twist. The newest recipe, Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Fried Onions, is featured in the grower’s monthly Onion Obsession email, which shares free recipes, tips, and tricks with members twice a month.

“As we come together with family and friends to celebrate and give thanks for life’s blessings, let’s also give a nod to our country’s farmers and agriculture-related businesses that make our abundant tables possible,” Teri concluded.
