  EGYPTIAN ONION ORDER FORM 

Egyptian onions babies are available, starting in August, usually until sold out.  These starts are grown for spring and fall scallions or left alone to grow into adult plants to produce more babies. We have also grown the babies very successfully throughout the winter in deep pots and can harvest the scallions all winter!

 

Also called "Walking Onions"
This perennial garden onion is the very earliest and hardiest onion we grow here at the farm. The whole plant in the spring can be used like scallions, freshly cut up in salads, stir fries, egg dishes, sauces and much more to give food a great onion flavor! 
By mid-late summer they are too tough to eat but produce small bulbs at the tops of stems above the ground. The baby bulbs of these plants are separated then planted. They can also be used for pickling. 

Availability: Egyptian onion babies are available starting in August! 
The adult plants are available in  April through November, except July & August when they are producing babies.

Pricing: Bare rooted, year old plants are $1.50 each (Sale, $1.00 each) and are approx. 3-5" tall. Babies are 20 cents each.
