Don’t onions just give an irreplaceable flavour to so many dishes? Bet you just couldn’t cook without them? Happily, we have a steady supply thanks to the Miller family, which has been growing and packing onions since 1989. The fertile soil on their farm in the Roe Valley at the foothills of Binevenagh Mountain on the outskirts of Limavady is perfect for growing them.

The Millers are Northern Ireland’s only commercial grower of onions and provide a constant year-round supply of onions to the major supermarkets in the region. These brown onions, red onions, garlic and shallots are packed in their purpose-built pack house under supermarket brands.

They’ve just been signed up by Tesco too. Through their Milgro brand they have developed their crispy onion range, Crispy Tobacco Onions and Crispy Chilli Onions. We can vouch for their crunch which they get using special cooking methods and a secret recipe. They’re incredibly moreish and can be eaten hot or cold.
