The Walla Walla Sweet Onion Sausage Has A History!

Kelly Walsh was a master of the grill. He had been practicing professionally since 1975 when he started selling his own kind of sausages while a student at Whitman College.

Since then his home-made Walla Walla Sweet Onion Sausage have become a local "institution" and according to fans, it just keeps getting better every year.

While the Walsh family sell their sausage at most Walla Walla Valley events, for the past eight years they have become a mainstay at the downtown Walla Walla Farmer's Market.

The family purchased Onion World when it was located out on Highway 12 on the outskirts of Walla Walla.

They have since relocated the Onion World operation to their new storefront in Walla Walla on First & Main.

Now Open! ...Onion World at First & Main!

Onion World is now located in the historic Sayer Building (the Beehive Building) at First & Main in the heart of downtown Walla Walla. This gorgeous building formerly housed the Beehive Store from 1897 to 1977.


Onion World is a great addition to downtown Walla Walla. In fact if you're coming to visit Walla Walla for any of the fantastic events that our little town is becoming famous for, you'll have to stop in and get a fresh-off-the-grill, Walla Walla Sweet Onion Sausage!

You could even pick up a couple of frozen five packs to take back to your home town to share with your friends and family.
