Colorado Experience: Palisade Peaches

[@mariaoneill1051]

Love Rancho Durazno, and all the people involved in this industry in Palisade. Always enjoyed visiting, now, after watching this I love Palisade even more.

I am a retired over the road truck driver.. . 40+ years of bouncing around this big beautiful country and I can tell you that the palisades peaches were always a must stop and get a big box on my way back to Ohio!! My family and friends all enjoyed that refreshing crisp taste!!! Yes I would get South Carolina and Georgia peaches also but everyone always said the Colorado peaches were sweetest and freshest! The little farm market at ex 44? 46? on 70 was my stop to get the big rig in and the folks were always so friendly!

That’s really cool to know! I live in Grand Junction and went to high school in Palisade. It’s always nice to learn something you may take for granted is a special experience to someone else!

I really enjoyed this and I also watched the panel afterwards. The talk done by Grand Junction PBS it was so so great! thank you!

A very nicely told story. As a California tree farmer I can relate to the challenges these farmers face.

I am very impressed with the changes made to the Grand Valley when the first people thought it was cursed barren land. Nothing like a Palisade peach, and now i know why. Thanks for the history lesson, RMPBS

The "First People" knew to grow by the river. No excuse from removing them from their ancestral land.

I live in Durango and get palisade peaches every year. They are delicious, fresh and sweet. I will say that the Fredericksburg peaches in Texas are a strong competitor.

I love anything that has to do with our culture never knew about peaches in that area looking forward to go back,,,

[@jeniumble7874]

@13:42 how did they start Clark Family Orchards in the late 1800s but it says "over 3 centuries ago"....what am I missing?

[@romeo2473]

Improper use of English :) or poor understanding of basic arithmetic's. 1800s mean 19th century, so we have 20th and 21st. To be able to use "over 3 centuries ago" implies the start around 1700s...

[@dwaneoconnor5978]

What kind of peach trees do you use in Palisades?

[@patriciarussell1177]

Are they organic and non-GMO

[@saint6563]

"People with vision came": With no respect for the people that had lived on that land previously for generations.

For reals

And a family tree from the folk who colonized the area…geez
