5th Annual Vidalia Sweet Onion Fundraiser 

Farm Fresh Vidalia Sweet Onions from Morris Farms in Vidalia Georgia

Only $12 for a 10 pound bag!

All funds raised help support the UGA Cobb County Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources Department, programs, and professional development to better serve our community.

You can also donate to help those in need.

This year we are partnering with the St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry at the Catholic Church of St. Ann, also known as Mary's Pantry. They serve anyone in the community, and work with other organizations to provide canned and fresh produce to individuals and families in need. You can also help provide fresh produce to a family in need by donating a bag of onions. Last year with your help we donated over 600 pounds of fresh produce to those in need!
