The glacial peaks of the Pamir Altai were known as the Onion Mountains when Marco Polo traveled the region en route to China because of the abundance of both cultivated and wild relatives of the crop in the area. Cultivation dates back to the Bronze Age 5000 BC to ancient Europe and Egypt. The cultivated onion was introduced to North America by Columbus in 1492. Native Americans used wild onions both medicinally and for food. Some A. cepa varieties are used as scallions.There are three basic types of bulb onions: fresh eating onions, storage onions and dehydrated onions.

Good for families or restaurants cooking for groups of people. Pump these up with good nitrogen-rich compost to grow them as big as basketballs, size potential 8”, up to 2 plus pounds.

I already loved growing vegetables, but taking a plant all the way through its life cycle felt like a special kind of honor, and I quickly saw the value in sustaining organic, important, and rare plant varieties and participating in sustainable food systems in this way. I moved to Oregon in 2015 and have been growing my organic seed farming business over the last four seasons by renting land from existing farms and slowly taking on higher volumes and more varieties.

Dakota Tears onion is for you. Dakota Tears is a yellow-skinned, firm fleshed storage onion with robust onion flavor. Bred in the 1980-90s by David Podoll, Dakota Tears is open-pollinated and continuously selected for vigor, size, long-term storability, disease and insect resistance. This onion will store all through the winter until your next crop of onions is harvested, no joke! Average size is 12 oz each with medium-thick necks. Dakota Tears was honored by “Organic Gardening Magazine” as one of ten outstanding plants in their 2010 variety trials. It has successfully rivaled hybrid varieties in university-based variety trials! In 2016 the Podolls experimented with direct seeding their onions. The direct-seeded onions out-performed their transplants, and produced bigger and better onions!This is Open Source Pledged Seed (OSSI).
