<p>Peri & Sons Farms has kicked off its California season in Firebaugh with its Spring and Summer onions available through September. Along with its whites, yellows and reds, the company will also be offering its new sweet red onion after receiving great feedback from limited testing of the new onion last year. Although Peri &Sons has planned to produce about 20% more of this new flat, sweet red this year the company expects availability to be tight due to growing demand.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/sweet-red-body.jpg" alt="IMAGES - JUNE 3 2013" /></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Teri Gibson, Director of Marketing & Customer Relations, tells AndNowUKnow, "We are very excited with the taste-profile of our new Sweet Red onion. It has all the flavor and features of a red onion but without the overpowering pungency typically found in Fall/Winter varieties."</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Ms. Gibson, notes, "Retailers should start prepping now for the fourth of July. It is a great time to feature our onions front and center. Broadening the onions' scope by cross-promoting is a great way to drive sales."</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The popularity of sweet onions continues to grow and as that happens growers are noticing a problem in the market with labeled sweet onions which are not really sweet at all. Peri & Sons took the guess-work out with its Sweetie Sweet® onion which is Certified Sweet® and Flavor Tested by the National Onion Labs.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Peri & Sons is also expanding in Nevada with the construction of another 6 to 8 storage sheds. The recent decision is motivated by the increased popularity and demand for the company's offerings.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The spring and summer onion crop is going very well, Ms. Gibson tells us, and while temperatures can be hard to predict, this year has been very stable so far. The company is offering its onions from Firebaugh through September transitioning to its Nevada fall/winter season beginning in August when the California season winds down.<a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.periandsons.com/index.php"target="_new"> Peri & Sons </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
