Though green spring onions pop-up in the spring, as their name implies, these sweeter red spring onions come a little later in the season, and as a result are a bit bigger than the green variety, with an actual onion bulb at the bottom. The whole plant is edible though, with the green tops being great for garnishes, and the bulbous bottoms being good as either a raw onion topper or a cooked addition to your meals. Try them grilled or saute them as the base for your next sauce!

This small farm takes root in the fertile soil of Lancaster County, PA. Using Integrated Pest Management, Eagle Road Farm takes care to control the health of their produce by using primarily natural, biological means to eliminate pests from their farm. This is accomplished through various methods such as pest habitat manipulation, growing of resistant crops, and cultural/agricultural shifts that make the crops a naturally more inhospitable place for those pesky little critters while making the farmland richer overall. Pesticides are used rarely if ever and only applied if all other means of pest management have failed and there is a temporary, overwhelming outbreak. These exceptional treatments and materials are selected with the utmost care to ensure as minimal an effect as possible on human health, beneficial plants and organisms, and the environment.
