There is a legally defined region in Georgia where Vidalia onions can be
grown. Onions grown outside of that region cannot be called Vidalia's.
Anyone who does so violates a court ruling. Georgia is a long way from
Kankakee. Besides, you can't grow short-day onions (Vidalia onions are
short-day types) in northern Illinois anyway.
