The most popular and recommended variety we offer is Candy! This onion is great for anyone that has never had much success growing onions. Candy onion plants are so easy to grow due to their strong root system and disease resistance. Unless you live in the southern most portions of the short day area or the northern most portions of the long day area, Candy will produce beyond your expectations. Long day areas should plant Candy onion plants as early as possible so it can reach full size potential. Every year it amazes us how many of these we sell!

Follow the directions for 5 star onions
Jul 8, 2020My first try at growing Candy was just ok (but better than other onions). But when I followed the growing instructions given by Dixondale Farms...SPECTACULAR RESULTS! If you've had less than stellar results growing onions in the past, give it another shot while following the growing guide. BOONVILLE, IN
Barb Rouch
So far, so good!
May 22, 2020Probably should wait for the Fall and harvest, but wanted to say a few things about the company and its service. 1st off I bought just one set, and have never grown onions before, I had no idea what to expect. I was impressed with the information available on the website regarding soil prep, fertilizer and watering. Ended up planting 54 plants. 18 on April 8, and the rest 2 weeks later. Every plant is alive, viable and VERY healthy. I have appreciated the company sending out email updates regarding watering and fertilizer. Just impressed with the customer service of Dixon Dale Farms and wanted to say it. I guess I will do a harvest review in a few months. CULPEPER, VIRGINIA

Best onion ever!
Dec 15, 2019These onions grew and grew and grew! Had I put something up to keep the tops from being blown over by the wind I think they would have gotten even bigger. Many of them were well over softball size and most were just about softball size or a little smaller. I harvested them in June of 2019 and its now December and I still have 40 or so left. Very few have gone bad but that's operator error from just sticking them out in the garage in paper bags. Anyway, I am in zone 7b and I highly recommend this very tasty onion. Caramelizes like crazy and is perfect if you are not so up on a strong onion flavor. Very mild and tasty!
Nathaniel Davis
WOW
Jun 26, 2019This is a great farm, love you guys. We had 1 onion that was 1.03 lb, the biggest we have ever seen. It was like eating watermelon in sweetness and yet a light onion in flavor.
John J Milanoski
Always great
Jun 15, 2019I got 45 lbs from one 4 ft by 8 ft raised bed. Dixondale Farms is an example every company should follow.
Joseph Evans
Not for me
Mar 6, 2019In theory, this onion should have done tremendously well for us near the Rockies. It grew and then stopped mid-summer, resulting in bulbs stuck in the soil, eventually rotting. I think I need to go back to the directions. :-)
Sarah Cowan
Greatest what an onion
Dec 7, 2018Living in southern Missouri I always had trouble growing a good sized onion until I came across Dixsondale and their candy onions. Now I have all I need and sell the surplus. Only problem is that I never seem to have enough to sell I always run out! Customers always ask me when the onions will be ready so that they don't miss out! I have grown some as large as 4 lbs. Six stars if I could!
William Finders
This One's a Winner!
Oct 4, 2017These onions perform beautifully - a bit smaller when we were experiencing an extended drought, but still good, but this past crop - WOW! Only a handful of small ones, most were in the 8-10 ounce range, and a number reached one pound plus! Once they're planted, I don't do too much other than keep the weeds away, so it's not like they're hard to grow.
And my farm stand customers love them too!
Stephanie Santa Rosa, CA
Greatness
Jul 19, 2017Got these shipped to me as a misship, and couldn't be happier. Ended up with more onions than my space would hold so they were planted too close together. Still ended up with 4 plus inch onions. Couldn't eat enough green onions. They will be ordered again next season.
Jeff Armstrong Indiana
Candy onions
Jul 9, 2017Ordered candy onions for the first time and they came out absolutely wonderful! All were softball size. Followed what instructions said to a tee. Fertilized with ammonia sulfate every 2 weeks. Couldn't be happier with the size. Many 6 inch bulbs. Can't say enough about Dixondale Farms. They sell a great product! Will be buying more next year.
Justin lint
Great company
Jul 5, 2017Usually grow my own slips from seed, but late start on the garden. Decided to use Dixondale after finding in a web search, and stuck gold! Ordered two bunches of Candy Onions. Received fresh product. Best I've ever purchased. I'll be harvesting loads of large babies in a few days. Highly recommend this outfit!!
Aaron from Delaware
Still eating onions in March
Mar 4, 2017I have planted candy onions for 15 years. They are planted by mid March here in mid Michigan and harvested by the 4th of July, I tie them in bundles of 12 and hang them high in my attached garage. I am still using the last ones in March. Dewitt, Mi
Joe DeSira
Best all-around onion Hands down!
Feb 28, 2017I have grown this amazing onion in Illinois, Idaho and North Dakota. It NEVER fails to perform superbly! Sweet, extra large, & stores incredibly well(If you can keep from eating them all up; they store all winter into spring)
Carla, Bismarck
Sweet Candy
Feb 11, 2017I harvested my candy onions the 10th of Sept. 90% were softball size and bigger. Majority were over a pound, and many close to 2 lbs. cured them, and hung them in 5 lb. onion bags in the pump house at 42 degrees. It's now the 12th of Feb. I had a few sprout, but the rest are still solid. My clients love them as do I. Great Onion. Baldwin, Wisconsin

Best onion ever grown
Dec 28, 2016I grew both yellow and purple candy onions from Dixondale last year and they were wonderful. They were shipped fresh and in perfect condition. I sold these at market and they were the first to fly off the table. Many happy customers who are hooked on these delicious sweet onion. I'll be ordering 3 times the amount for 2017.Paris, Kentucky

Candy onions
Nov 13, 2016 excellent onion, this will be my onion of choice from now on...Gastonia, NC
David Davis
Great
Aug 25, 2016First time growing onions and the first time for anything in this garden. The Candy onions did very, very well as did 1015. Candy ended up tasting better than 1015's, but did require about 1 additional month to mature. I'd guess that every plant they sent, lived.... we have onions everywhere!
J. Walter, Houston
Great onions, even better customer service
Aug 4, 2016This was my first year starting a CSA/farm and I had no idea what I was doing! I was told to go to DixonDale for my onion and leek needs. First of all, the onions and leeks turned out perfect, everyone raves about how delicious they are. Secondly, since this was my first year, and I didn't know what I was doing, I probably called their customer service 5 times just to make sure I was doing everything right. Every time they were beyond kind and helpful, some of the best customer service I have experienced. I highly recommend DixonDale not only for their onions but for the awesome customer service. I am very excited to plant three times as many onions next year!
Katy - Colorado
Very good onion
Jun 27, 2016Very reliable onion. Nice large bulbs 4 years in a row. I grow Candy and Copra as my keepers. I can eat Candy onions into January and Copras keep until May and beyond.
Bill Harrisburg Pa
Super easy to grow!
Jun 23, 2016This was my first year to try growing onions and after finding Dixondale Farms online, I ordered a single batch of Candy. I couldn't be more pleased with them. I only half way followed the instructions and had a wonderful crop of baseball to softball sized onions, some almost grapefruit sized. I planted 70 of them in a 2x8 raised bed, much tighter than the recommended spacing. They did fine. Not a dud in the bunch. I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting very good onions!
Craig in Paris, TN
Great flavor
Sep 3, 2015Grew well, nothing as large as shown on site. The best part is I can eat them raw and they don't send me running for the baking soda to fight indigestion. Have not been able to eat raw onions in years. These are a real treat.

Finally! Best Onion I've ever raised!
Jul 8, 2014This onion is awesome! Planted this spring and harvesting now. 3-4" in size. They are SWEET! They cook up nice and sweet! Love these! Highly recommend.
Duane in South Central VA
Grew candy Last Season
Apr 7, 2014Ordered these last spring and planted them promptly. They produced an amazing delicious crop of onions of at least 5-6" each with great flavor. This will, without hesitation, be the second season using Dixondale farms.

So sweet!

Didn't do well
Nov 23, 2013We had a wet early summer and then cool, dry July and August. Candy onions were just so-so, nothing special, with about half not making it at all. Grew them in nice composted horse manure soil. My purple onions actually did better. MANSFIELD, MA

Candy Onions
Nov 5, 2013My sister ordered these for me as a surprise, and they sure were. They grew very well with several larger than softballs! The taste is mild and delicious. The best onion rings I've ever made. I'll be ordering these form you every year! Wellington, NV

Impressive
May 13, 2013This is the Second year with Dixondale Farms' onions for me. Planted a combo of Big Daddy and Candy last year. They turned out to be the largest, sweetest and longest lasting onions I have ever grown. I am writing this review on May 13, 2013 and I am still eating fresh onions from the 2012 season. 8 months of storage in my garage...crazy! 80% of the onions were around softball size, 10% were larger, %10 smaller, although none were smaller than a baseball. Plants were sent right on time and in excellent condition. Dixondale Farms has earned itself a loyal customer.
Justin in Bismarck, ND
The Best!
Apr 14, 2013A marvelous onion. We stored 2012-13 mid-Sept. to mid April(until we ran out)in western Nebraska. Stored in an unheated cement floor garage covered with several blankets.
Dan Timm
Impressed
Mar 13, 2013Best onion I've grown, will be a staple from now on, some approaching 2 lbs. Its a wonder what a little onion knowledge will lead to! Success, that's what! Growing Red Candy Apple this year as well as Candy, hoping for similar results!

Best Onions I have ever grown
Jul 14, 2012I have grown onions for years but have never been able to grow large ones. I grew Candy onions this year from Dixondale Farms and did just as instructed and got the biggest and best crop ever. I am convinced and will order year after year from now on. Colonial Heights, VA
Bill Dick
Candy onion the best of all.

Move over Vadalia
Sep 18, 2011That's right Move over Vadalia there's a new onion in town. I am so pleased with these they grew so perfect and big and came out just sweet as can be. I have been raving on these to all my friends and when I brought a few to the market to sell they wanted some more the next week. Sorry the rest are mine. LOL A definite grow for next year.Wentsville, MO
Gixxerific
Uhhh YUM!!!
Aug 24, 2011Seriously, an amazingly delicious onion raw or cooked. caramelizes beautifully. Vidalia now play second fiddle to these. They are firm and average about maybe a softball.
Don
Awesome Onion!
Jun 29, 2011I have made many attempts at growing onions; some successful, some not. I planted 2 bunches of Candy and I think every one of them came up great. I am now a devoted customer. Next year I will probably more than double what I planted this year.
Scott Greene
Happy Customer
May 17, 2011I ordered about 10 bunches of these and red candy. They are all growing great especially considering the abnormal weather we are having, I've probably had 2 dozen bolt and it seems like those were the from the larger plants. I only say this cause I've heard people ask for the larger ones only. I planted the smallest ones seperate and none of them have bolted. I started pulling the ones that have bolted. they are averaging about 3 inches and the bolted ones are the best tasting onions we've grown and bigger than what we have ever grown from sets. The ones still growing are continuing to bulb even larger and can easily see some of them up to 5 inches now. I'm so glad I came across this site and plant to continue doing business with dixondale over the years to come.

Candy Onions
Apr 13, 2011Best onion I have ever had! We grew these last year and had some that weighed over a pound! Only onion I will grow from here on out. Thanks
Jordan
long-lasting!
Jan 4, 2011'Candy' is a real keeper! I've grown this variety for almost 10 years, in northern Maine soils, and it never fails to produce great onions that taste great fresh or 5 months later - they store forever!
rebecca holberton
Excellent Onion
Jul 21, 2010These are the best. They grew great here in Indiana, all I got was great reviews from friends and family about how good these onions are. Exceelent choice for me.

Small is good!!
Feb 12, 2010Both the candy and red apple sold really well as small onions, so well that I didn't have many left to mature. Increased my order this year.Madison, VA
Khalil
I like onions ha ha ha
Feb 7, 2010We have grown 4 to 5" bulbs of candy sweets consistently in NE Arizona (high desert) for the past 3 years. Not only are they as good as any sweets we've tried, but we successfully store them in our root cellar in knotted pantyhose or net tubes from Aug/Sep until at least April when we begin harvesting green onions from the next crop. Candy sweets are "sweet"! Thanks
Robert Whittle
best onion ever
Jan 17, 2010The best review I can give.
Gave my SIL some withered up bunches, definitely way past planting prime. She actually planted, about 1/2 came up.
They are part of a community type plot situation.
Her words, not mine, they were so good, I didn't share with anyone!
They live in Southern OK. I live in S.Central hill country, TX. and have actually been able to cure this onion so I still had them in late January, when pulled in May.
I've even missed a few and had onions bigger than softballs in late July. A few soft spots so they needed to be used quickly.
The taste is incredible. You get the onion flavor, but without harshness or overly sweet.
I've never cried when chopping this onion.
Those flavors I mention are straight out of the ground or cured.

Jan 13, 2010Still the best sweet onion for market. I keep ordering more each year and still manage to sell out. Pleasant View, Colorado
Heidi
Very good
Jan 8, 2010The problem with these onions is that we only ordered 1/2 what we needed.They have a very good taste.Didnt get as big as I thought they would but I just planted and watered,no fertilizer or anything,plus we had a very cool summer.This year we have rabbits so I expect much better garden overall. Missouri
Richard
Wow....
Dec 27, 2009I made so much money with candy that it should be illegal! Many weighed between 1 and 2 lbs,customers loved the mild flavor and they keep great,whats not to like!! I doubled the order this year and so should you! Putney, VT
Howard Prussack
Good Candy
Nov 28, 2009Last year I grew candy that I ordered from gurneys.they averaged small to med but had excellent flavor and exceeded my storage expectations. In 2010 I am going to order from Dixondale farms.
John Ramey
candy
Nov 23, 2009Here in the southeast corner of TN I grow candy and supersweet most years. Everybody says that they are the best onions they have ever tasted. I plant first week in feb.to get giant size bulbs.
randy
a bit smaller than expected, but sweet
Nov 22, 2009My Candys came in at an average size of 3 -4 inches, but they were sweet with just a bit of bite. I have to admit that I did forget to apply the last dose of fertilzer, so I'm sure that had some influence on the size. They are keeping well in my cellar and I will order them again for 2010.
Jo-Ann Bouley
Just old ed
Nov 10, 2009Bad summer - very cold and dry. With a little help from the garden hose, I still got a very nice crop of Candy onions. We live just N/W of Chicago. I'll plant the same type again next year!! Your grow letters are GREAT.
Ed Rodriguez
Candy Onion Grower
Oct 2, 2009Best onions I have ever grown. A older lady I know has been buying these onions from you for years. When her husband was alive he planted them. Next year I am going to plant 10 times as many so I can give them to all my friends. You keep doing whatever your doing because it's working!
Michael Martin
Candy and Super Star
Aug 14, 2009Candy is the ideal intermediate day onion. It even keeps pretty well(up to 4 months) The quality rivals yellow granex which does not keep. I planted one bunch and produced about 30 pounds of onions which were up to 5in. Mixed into the planting were several white (apparently Super Star)
onions which matured in similar time and size to Candy.
Jerome Long
not good
May 23, 2009they barely made it to an inch here in OK. i won't plant them next year.

Long Keeper
Jan 18, 2009The storage ability of the Candy onion has surprised me. We harvest in Arkansas in July, cure them in open crates until September, then refrigerate the onions in mesh bags. I am using the last ones now in January and they have retained full quality. Their flavor is unsurpassed for carmelized onions.
Peg
YES
Nov 17, 2008I have grown this onion for several years and have been very pleased. A great onion for this area, and stores well too.
Mark Nielsen
CANDY
Nov 9, 2008We have raised these onions for 5yrs. Each year doubling the amount on our order. We sell at 2 farmers markets and still run out of candy onions. This year we grew candys that weighed over 2 1/2 lbs! I tell customers buy 1 and I'll see you next week. Next week it's WHERES THOSE CANDY ONIONS!!

Aug 25, 2008I am new to growing onions and these produced awesome 3" - 5" bulbs. We also ate many as green onions and all along the way. Extremely pleased with this variety.
