Best Peaches in the world?
See what our customers are saying:
Hi Theresa,
I run a company called Winerybound and I am in Colorado for the relaunch of my business. I was at your facility earlier this week and I wanted to let you know I was incredibly impressed. Your son was such a gentleman and I was amazed by his business acumen at such a young age.
I blogged about my visit and wanted to notify you of it-you can view it at www.thegreatamericanwinetour.com
Please tell you son, thank you for being so hospitable during my visit!

Sweet and Juicy- Palisade peaches are in season
Can a peach be just a peach? After visiting High Country Orchards in Palisade, Colorado I am starting to think maybe not. Since my visit there, nothing else really hits the spot. Everything I have eaten can only taste better with peaches.
In the car eating almonds I think to myself "Wouldn’t those peaches be good with a lovely mascarpone placed delicately in the middle with an almond on top?"
Eating chips and salsa at the local taqueria I think, "The addition of a peach puree would be delightful to sweeten the heat of this salsa"
My lust for peaches has consumed me and I am now another crazed local preaching "Have you tried Palisade peaches?" They are the best peaches around.
Music choices for the trip
Peaches-The Presidents of the United States of America -
Sitting on Top of the World
look for the lyric-If you don’t like my peaches/Don’t you shake my tree/’n Get out of my orchard/Let my peaches be" from various artists recordings

OK, so I was a little skeptical about your peaches after I read the Denver Post article so I drove over to Whole Foods at lunch today.
Wow! Best peach I have ever had. Super sweet, with a little tartness. Only problem is that I am now cleaning peach juice off the front of my shirt.
Nice job, I will keep looking for your peaches and buying them.
Best,
Kevin

THANKS, Theresa! I actually caught the Post story since peaches have been on my mind of late. That was some SERIOUS ink for your business! To think that someone as busy as you can find a moment for a single customer is quite remarkable. I will be checking Boulder Whole Foods this weekend!
All best wishes,

The peaches arrived in Valdez, Alaska (on the 29th) in perfect condition!
Thank you so much for your help and consideration. My sister was so excited! She has been sharing them with everyone - so we will probably have to do this again next year:) Thanks again for all your help - it was worth it!

While in Georgia (visiting my kids and grandkids), we stopped at a roadside produce stand. I asked about their "Georgia" peaches, and the lady behind the counter laughed and said, the Georgia ones are not really very good.
These we are selling today are from South Carolina!

We visited and got a tour of the orchard during the Peach festival last weekend and had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed looking through your "country store" and all the stuff you had on the walls. We bought 3 "layers" of peaches to take home with us to Arvada. We gave one layer to our friends and some individual ones to other friends and everyone really enjoyed them and said they were the best they have had-and we definitely agree! They truly are "sink" peaches-you have to eat them over the sink cuz they are so juicy! We also bought some peach salsa that was wonderful-it did not last long at all! I also really enjoyed nibbling on the pear tomatoes we bought from you on the way home. I had to go to your website to find some recipes for our now very ripe peaches because we will not let any of them go bad or not get eaten! I just wanted to let you know we enjoyed the tour, and your peaches are definitely the best we have had!
Thanks again!

THERESA,
Want you to know that your peaches made it to St Louis in fine fashion and have been thoroughly enjoyed by our friends and family here and in Denver. One of my co-workers said they were so sweet and good they were like "peach candy."
Thanks Again

I am sending this box of your goodies to my in-laws, told them about your amazing orchard which my husband and I recently visited, you son is a great store manager, we got a kick out of his sales pitch, good job and knew the products and prices well! Anyhoo, my in-laws moved to WA state two decades ago from CO and we try to send them reminders of CO, your products are awesome, I bought a variety and gave out as gifts to friends in Denver along with keeping a few for ourselves, "good pure yummy eatin!"
So, with that said, please fill this order with brochures, etc. I am sure they will pass on, the folks in WA must be sick of Apples?
Thanks Again,
Char Hawke, Aurora Colorado

Hi - just wanted to say that I ordered a box of peaches sent to thank some associates in Salt Lake City, and they got there really fast and I was told that they were wonderful, delicious, beautiful and came excellently packed!! Thanks so much - I see I did this just in time because you are now out of stock. Great service - I am very impressed and will order again next year!
Thanks, Kay Moller

Hi Theresa,
I ordered your peaches for my elderly parents in Houston Texas. They arrived in perfect condition and they said they are the best peaches they have ever eaten. They could not stop talking about how wonderful your peaches are. I will be ordering a gift of peaches for them regularly now. They said its the best gift I could give to them. Thank you for taking care to package and ship such a wonderful gift.
****************************************************
Hi Theresa - the package did arrive on Wed (two days!) and with your directions they placed them in a paper bag and plan to dig in to them today. They were very impressed with the packaging as well. So thanks, and good luck with your harvest!

Thanks Theresa. Your orchard seems to be a great combination of a small business that cares about its customers mixed with a huge internet mogul.

Hello,
A student brought me your wonderful peaches today. They are delicious! I would love to send some to my parents in Dallas. Is that possible? If so, would you please send me some information on what I need to do to order peaches.
Thanks so much,
Meredith Beal

We just bought a bag of your peaches from King Soopers in Denver, specifically the store at Monaco and Leetsdale, and I want to thank you for myself.
For fifty years I have delighted in what my family laughingly calls "carroty peaches", meaning that I sound as if I am crunching a carrot when I eat them. I do not know the variety of the ones we bought (maybe Angelus? guessing from your website), but this is the first time I have ever had such splendid, sweet-tart, perfect, CARROTY peaches so late in August, and freestone at that!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
