Where High Country Orchards Palisade Peaches is located
You'll find High Country Orchards Palisade Peaches just outside Palisade, in the farm country of Mesa County, Colorado. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
