Gala & Jonagold apples from the North Fork Valley in Colorado. This is another micro-climate growing region with beautiful volcanic material mixed into the topsoil. This mixture gives good soil nutrition as well as lots of flavor to the local crops and fruit orchards.
These are both delicious eating or baking apples with a combination of sweet and a nice crispy snap (bite).
Ralph is on his way back right now from Palisade, CO with peaches! They are sweet, juicy and the way a sun drenched fruit should be. These are tree ripened which is impossible to get from a store; they are too fragile to ship. Once a peach is taken off the tree the sugar content stops and the fruit does not continue to ripen.
We love the fruit and the earth conscious message from Aloha Orchards in Palisade, CO. It is important to know where your food comes from. Watch their video below and see the orchard. Enjoy!
The Red Haven Peach is the freestone peach by which all others are measured. It is medium to large size and is just right for fresh snacks, canning or freezing. This well known early peach is great for making desserts. It has smooth, yellow flesh with a brilliant red skin color.
Full Box (18 lb) – $48.00 Box Lid Flat (~11lb) – $28.00
Pre-Order to Reserve Peaches – limited quantities, first come first serve
“Aloha” means care, respect, and affection – all of which is embodied in our 100% Certified Organic farmland, where we produce premium, fresh organic Palisade peaches.
Many people think that Aloha means “hello” and “good bye,” but it is much richer than that. Aloha is sending and receiving positive energy. Aloha is a feeling of depth, of putting all your efforts, concerns, and feelings into something meaningful.
We were long-time residents of Hawai’i. When we purchased this beautiful orchard in Palisade Colorado, we thought about how we would best steward it. Additionally, we were building a home and living next to the orchard. Clearly what was best for our health was also best for the land.
The spirit of Aloha guides us in how we care for the earth and in choosing organic, sustainable agricultural practices. It is our life’s work to embody Aloha, with love and respect on our farm and products, and with our neighbors, community and customers.
Let us share some Aloha with you – just look for the peach lei logo.

Please let us know ASAP (today) if you would like to reserve tomatoes. We are going Tuesday morning to pick them up from the grower.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub inside of Pyrex baking dish with butter and lay salmon fillet skin side down. Drizzle salmon with juice from half a lemon. Sprinkle with salt and cracked pepper. Tear pieces of fresh dill and lay on top of the salmon fillet. Place a couple pats of butter on top of the salmon. Cover with aluminum foil, poke a few holes on top to vent, and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. The trick to cooking fish is take it out just before it is done. It will continue to cook a few minutes while you are dishing it up. This way it will not be over cooked and dry.

Fresher is Better! Organic Produce Delivery by Linden Market Article by Ralph Miller & Peter Richardson
What choices would we make if fresh organic produce were the same price as conventional?
Somehow we have allowed ourselves to be trained to accept the simple choices presented to us at the grocery store.Most of the decisions have already been made for us by corporate initiatives designed to increase sales and profitability through increasing product shelf life, lowered cost of production, and mechanical processing.Most people don’t realize that the first time a human hand touches a conventional tomato is when the guy unpacks it at the grocery store.Machinery turns the soil, plants the seed, waters, sprays, harvests, sorts, cleans, packs and transports that tomato, thousands upon thousands at a time. This is a stark contrast to the many indigenous traditions which offer a prayer of gratitude with each seed that is placed into the soil. Have we have forgotten where our food comes from?
