Our Story
1940's

A small group of Utah farmers needed help selling their fresh produce to communities and grocers. Charles H. Dredge and his company, CH Dredge, took on the responsibilities of packaging and selling onions and various other produce for the group of local Utah growers.

1977

In 1977, Dredge sold the business to four Utah Farmers and a group of investors from Texas. From then on the company was known as Utah Onions. The farming investor group was able to grow the company and soon Utah Onions became known as a grower, shipper and packager of quality crops. 

1989

The company started to take on more packing and shipping responsibilities over time, bringing in trade partners, and increased growing regions.

2005

 In August of 2005, a group of three, each with their own roots in the onion and produce world, Shawn Hartley, Trent Hartley and Brad Dahl, purchased Utah Onions from the investment group. They continued to build the company, expanding it with additional growers and farmers.

2017

Onions 52 is one of the nation’s leading grower-shippers of quality yellow, red, white, sweet and organic onions. With growing/packaging partners in six states it was clear a new name was needed to fit the growth of the company. In 2017 Utah Onions became known as Onions 52. Simply, onions - 52 weeks a year.

2024

Onions 52 expands its reach by adding an additional east coast packing shed in Cincinnati, OH, with Shawn Hartley at the helm of the company.
