I love Vidalia onions. Always have. Who knew all these years I’ve been pronouncing it wrong??? I knew they only grew in Vidalia County, Georgia, and one can only assume they know the correct pronunciation. You learn something new every day. Oh, and that onion and cheese sandwich he talked about at the end? I have to have one of those!

Is there farmer in Georgia or elsewhere in the USA who grows aronia berries?

Vidalia is a city in Toombs County, GA. The onions are named after the city and not the county of origin. I am not sure but Tattnall County may also be the site for Vidalia onions to be grown.
Bon appetite,

An additional comment on Vidalia onions is that Claxton is in Evans County, GA.

For info on Aronia Berries, go to “www.superberries.com”. I’m not sure where they are grown, but I don’t think it’s GA.
