Sure, Palisade gets the headlines—but ask around, and folks will tell you the sweetest peaches grow in Colorado’s North Fork Valley. Why? Cooler nights at the higher altitudes of the North Fork Valley help fruit hold more sugars. Unlike Palisade, North Frk orchards sit far from highway exhaust and are often organic, drawing on volcanic soils and snow melt water. The result? Peaches so sweet they don’t need marketing. Just one bite, and you’ll taste why the North Fork Valley keeps winning quiet converts.
