Description
Valley Flora Farm (Langlois), Ocean Air Farm (Ft. Dick, CA) and Lehne Farms LLC (Roseburg) all grow wonderfully sweet Walla Walla onions, available either fresh (with the green tops still attached) in the start of the season (usually July), or “cured” (dried, with no tops) later on (by August or September). Each onion weighs between 1 and 1.5 pounds.
Because Walla Wallas are a sweet onion, they don’t keep near as long as a “storage”, or standard, onion. The cured ones are cured for medium-length storage (1-2 months unrefrigerated in cool, dry conditions). I refrigerate mine (especially when they’re fresh) and try to use them within a month or so.
