The Walla Walla Sweet Onion story began nearly a century ago on the Island of Corsica, off the west coast of Italy. It was there that a French soldier, Peter Pieri, found a sweet onion seed and brought it to Walla Walla in the late 1800’s. At the time, Italian immigrant gardeners comprised the core of WallaWalla’s gardening industry, and several were Pieri’s neighbors. Impressed by the new onion’s

winter hardiness, they and Pieri harvested the seed. This “French” onion developed over several generations through the process of carefully hand selecting onions from each year’s crop, ensuring exceptional sweetness, jumbo size, and round shape. Today’s growers realize they’re not just raising sweet onions, but cultivating a tradition.

The Walla Walla Sweet Onion has been grown in the Walla Walla Valley for more then a century, with roots tracing back to the late 1800s when French soldier Peter Pieri planted sweet Italian seed in the region’s fertile soil. The unique combination of climate, soil, and generations of dedicated growers has made the Walla Walla Sweet Onion one or the PNW’s most treasured crops.
