Alida's Fruits

Fresh tree-ripened organic Palisade peaches, harvested from small family orchards in Palisade, Colorado, form the foundation of Alida's Fruits. Farmer Bob and Alida Helmer have spent years tending these orchards, producing 100% natural fruit that is celebrated for its sweetness and juiciness. The shop transforms these local harvests into a wide array of home-canned goods, including jams, jellies, preserves, and syrups. Customers can choose from over 35 distinct flavors to build custom jam boxes, selecting four 9-ounce jars of their preferred consistency, whether firm jelly, less-firm jam, or chunky preserves. Beyond fresh fruit and spreads, the store stocks Palisade Pride chocolate-dipped dried fruits and offers private labeling services for large corporate orders or gifts. The business operates as a retail destination in Palisade, accepting credit cards and providing wheelchair-accessible parking. While fresh peaches are available during the season, the shop remains open year-round with its canned and dried selections. The products are hand-picked and made in Palisade, ensuring that every jar reflects the quality of western Colorado’s fruit country.
