Shuman Farms

Headquartered in the center of the Vidalia growing region in southeast Georgia, family-owned Shuman Produce has been in the sweet onion industry for more than 30 years. The legacy began in the mid-1980s with a small family farm in Reidsville, GA and has grown to become a leading grower and shipper of sweet onions year-round. Now, after decades of farming and growing the world's sweetest onions, we continue to proudly share with you what has been part of our family through three generations. To us, it's always been about more than just onions. It's about growing a family, a business, a culture of giving back and a product that we're proud to share. Vidalia sweet onions have always been the benchmark at Shuman Produce, but their availability is seasonal (mid-April to late August). To ensure customers get the best-tasting, highest-quality sweet onions all year long, we have growing ventures in Peru, Texas, and Mexico. These regions provide the best quality onions throughout the year. We also offer organic sweet onions, an important part of the program as the organics category continues to grow and become more popular. We believe in upholding our four pillars in everything we do: providing superior quality, excellent customer service, innovative marketing, and giving back. We also firmly believe in giving back to the communities where our products are sold. In 2002, our president and CEO John Shuman, founded Produce for Kids, a cause-marketing organization that is creating a healthier generation by providing recipes and resources for families and encouraging them to eat more fruits and vegetables. Produce for Kids has raised more than $6.5 million for children's charities and provided more than 7 million meals to those in need through their work with Feeding America.
