Mesa Park Fruit Co.

Palisade peaches arrive in boxes from Mesa Park Fruit Co., a high desert farm partnership founded by Brandon and Laura Black alongside neighbor Laurie Priddy. Operating over 35 acres of land in Palisade, Colorado, the trio cultivates world-famous peaches, cherries, plums, pluots, and wine grapes. The Black family moved to the area from Denver in January 2018 after five years of owning and operating Mesa Park Vineyards, eventually narrowing their focus to farming. Their operation relies on warm sunny days and cool breezy nights to produce fruit described as some of the most delicious available. Customers can secure fresh harvests through pre-order pick-ups located on C Road, open Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 1pm. The farm also offers central park home delivery for Front Range residents throughout July and August, alongside pop-up stands and farmers' markets. Beyond direct-to-consumer sales, Mesa Park Fruit Co. supplies local retailers and ships peaches across the contiguous United States. The business actively supports youth organizations through peach fundraisers, partnering with groups such as Able Kids Foundation, Children's Speech & Reading Center, DIVE Volleyball Club, Edge Soccer Club, Horizon High School Marching Band, Mountain Range High School, Prairie View High School Thunderpoms, and Pomona Steam Lab. Brandon and Laura’s background in construction and real estate complements their agricultural work, while Laurie Priddy contributes her property to the expanding crop fields.
