Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onions - Onion Recipes, Onion Shippers, Spanish, Red, White, Yellow Onions

Idaho-Eastern Oregon onions are one of the most profitable items in any retail produce section. Why? Consistently large size, beautiful appearance and months of storage life. The key is our exclusive Federal Marketing Order which mandates the inspection of every shipment to certify compliance with grade, size, pack and maturity requirements. No other storage onion growing region can match this commitment to quality.

Reliable supply from August to April.
Each year we ship over 24,000 carlots (40,000 pound loads) to destinations across America and around the world. Idaho-Eastern Oregon growers plant about 21,000 acres, producing nearly 1 billion pounds of high-quality yellow, red and white Spanish onions (65% over 3” diam.)—35% of all the bulbs consumed in the U.S. between August and April.

HACCP compliance and third-party auditing.
Reflecting their industry leadership, Idaho-Eastern Oregon onion shippers helped create the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) guidelines that govern our industry. Most sheds voluntarily have their facilities tested by third-party auditors for compliance with these guidelines and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) This ensures food safety and provides trace-ability of our onions, all the way back to the field where they were grown.
