“I rise today to recognize Bland Farms in Glennville, Georgia, for winning the Grower of the Year Award from the Vidalia Onion Committee. This award has been given continuously since 1991 and is a testament to the long history of onion farming in the Vidalia area. For almost 80 years, Bland Farms has been producing high-quality Vidalia onions, now consumed around the world. Their family-run farm has been instrumental in expanding the distribution and recognition of official Vidalia sweet onions. In 1995, Bland Farms entered the frozen market, quickly becoming the Nation's third largest distributor of frozen onion products. In the past few years, Bland Farms has implemented cutting-edge technology to improve cold storage and quality assurance of their products. I also recognize the work of the Vidalia Onion Committee for its dedication to upholding quality and expanding access to our official Georgia State Vegetable. Once again, I congratulate Bland Farms on their exceptional work this past year.”
