Title: Wholesale onion set suppliers
Post by: Yorkie on February 23, 2019, 12:49

We need to order some onion and shallot sets for this spring.  We've left it too late to get any from our regular suppliers Kings or Gro-well.

Can anyone suggest any other wholesalers we  might approach, please?  Our usual order is in the region of 5kg or 10kg loose sets.

We bought the bulbs for the villages baskets from them, we ordered them before trekking over there. They have the vegetable & plant auction on a Wednesday, it was worth going just to see that.

Fab, that's really helpful. thanks Snowdrops.  It looks as though Moles might also have some stock.


I'll forward the details to our treasurer and let her decide.  :)

I would have suggested trying Moles or DT Brown hope you get sorted

Thanks rowlandwells.  I looked at DT Brown but they only do them in domestic quantities, not wholesale.
