Palisade Peaches (Colorado’s Famous Stone Fruit — C&R Farms)

$7.00  ·  5-6 fruits per bag  ·  Palisade season (Aug–Sep)

Palisade peaches from C&R Farms, the fruit that put Colorado’s Western Slope on the map. Juicy, fragrant, and sweet, grown in the sun-soaked valley where the days are hot and the nights are cool.

This is the peach people drive over the mountains for. Picked ripe and brought across the state, not gassed and shipped from another hemisphere.

Good for: eating fresh over the sink, grilling, cobbler and pie, pairing with the MouCO soft cheeses, canning, and freezing.

Let firm peaches finish ripening on the counter, then refrigerate once soft. Peach season is the highlight of the year, and it’s short.
