Open Farm Sunday 2017

Bulb onions are the world’s second biggest vegetable crop with an annual production of 100M tonnes. It is also one of the UK’s most important crops with around 500K tonnes produced in 2022, with a value of £160M. However, fusarium Basal Rot (FBR) poses a significant threat to the UK onion industry, causing devastating losses both pre- and post-harvest. Losses are driving onion growers out of business and, with climate change exacerbating the issue, innovative solutions are urgently needed.

We're excited to announce that Sunions, the UK's first tearless onions, are now back on the shelves at Waitrose, ready for your Christmas cooking. Developed using traditional farming methods over 30 years, Sunions are not only tearless but also pack a delicious flavour, whether cooked or raw.

We are thrilled to announce that Moulton Bulb Company has not only passed our annual unannounced BRCGS audit but also achieved an AA+ rating with zero non-conformances. This is an enormous accomplishment, made even more special as it's our first audit against the new Version 9 standard.
