Theresa,
Wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to you and your
family’s business for the stellar job you did in processing our
request
to ship peaches all over the country. It has been a
lot of fun for us to receive all the responses from our clients
carrying on about how
amazing the peaches were and how
they savored each one!
Thank you again for all of us at DTC for your assistance!

Theresa,
Just writing to thank you again for the fine job you do with shipping
peaches as a gift. For several years now, we have had you ship two
dozen of your peaches to my grandmother in Kansas. Colorado peaches
have been a lifelong special treat in her little town, and at her age,
97, receiving a box of perfect peaches is one thing that really makes
her excited and happy. The peaches always arrive perfectly packed,
perfectly ripe, and in excellent condition, and she loves to both eat
them and share them with her friends and caregivers.
Thanks again for a job well done, from a loyal customer,
Dan

Theresa,
Thank you very much. I was through that part of Colorado in 1957 when I was
15 years old. I still remember the clean chilly air, the rushing waters and
the magnificent scenery. I hope to come back and will stop by when I do. I
can tell you this, the air was much cleaner then. At night you could see
lights from 80 miles away. And the traffic was non existent.

Hi! We are the folks from Wisconsin who came to your orchard last Friday afternoon and your foreman was so very nice to us! Just wanted you to know that I could have sold 20 more boxes of those peaches for you here in Tomah, Wisconsin!!! All of our kids and relatives LOVE them and have never seen such great peaches and nectarines before! Thank you again for having such a great orchard!

Greetings:
I am writing from Dillingham, Alaska. Ours is a community located on the Bristol Bay and accessible only by air and sea. We receive all of our mail by air freight. You can imagine how difficult it is to get fresh fruit and vegetables that are not bruised or over/under ripe.
I received my box of peaches from you and wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how pleased I am. The peaches were in wonderful condition. Your packaging is outstanding. We opened the box and began eating peaches right on the front porch. We love Colorado peaches and we're so excited to be able to enjoy them here at our home.
Thank you so much. We'll be ordering again and again.

I succumbed and just ordered a box of 12 for us. I know we will get spoiled and not want any other.

Just wanted to let you know, we ordered peaches for the first time this year, and they were the BEST we have ever eaten.
We were wondering if you could put us on a reminder list, to let us know when peach season comes around to remind us to order them for the next year 2010.
Again, Thank You for the BEST.....

My wife and I returned on a bike tour Sunday and tried the peaches. Wow. If they were any sweeter, they'd need a warning label. We hope we can return next year! Warren Epstein Gazettte arts and culture editor

Theresa,
I want to sincerely thank you and your family for the tour yesterday. We have been huge peach fans since moving to Colorado. It was a honor to see your operation. We definitely have greater appreciation for Palisade peaches!
Keep up the hard work; we sure do enjoy the fruit of your labors.

High Country Orchards:
I received my box of 24 peaches on Wednesday and they are simply scrumptious - best peaches I've had this year and that includes several boxes from Georgia. Very juicy and great taste. Reminds me of the peaches I ate growing up from my uncle's orchard in western Pennsylvania. I've ordered another box of 24.
Best regards,

Hi Theresa,
I run a company called Winerybound and I am in Colorado for the relaunch of my business. I was at your facility earlier this week and I wanted to let you know I was incredibly impressed. Your son was such a gentleman and I was amazed by his business acumen at such a young age.
I blogged about my visit and wanted to notify you of it-you can view it at www.thegreatamericanwinetour.com
Please tell you son, thank you for being so hospitable during my visit!

Sweet and Juicy- Palisade peaches are in season
Can a peach be just a peach? After visiting High Country Orchards in Palisade, Colorado I am starting to think maybe not. Since my visit there, nothing else really hits the spot. Everything I have eaten can only taste better with peaches.
In the car eating almonds I think to myself "Wouldn’t those peaches be good with a lovely mascarpone placed delicately in the middle with an almond on top?"
Eating chips and salsa at the local taqueria I think, "The addition of a peach puree would be delightful to sweeten the heat of this salsa"
My lust for peaches has consumed me and I am now another crazed local preaching "Have you tried Palisade peaches?" They are the best peaches around.

OK, so I was a little skeptical about your peaches after I read the Denver Post article so I drove over to Whole Foods at lunch today.
Wow! Best peach I have ever had. Super sweet, with a little tartness. Only problem is that I am now cleaning peach juice off the front of my shirt.
Nice job, I will keep looking for your peaches and buying them.
Best,
Kevin

Thank you so much for the wonderful peaches! They were perfect!!! I really appreciate you putting those together, they were beautiful!

THANKS, Theresa! I actually caught the Post story since peaches have been on my mind of late. That was some SERIOUS ink for your business! To think that someone as busy as you can find a moment for a single customer is quite remarkable. I will be checking Boulder Whole Foods this weekend!
All best wishes,

Sincerely,
A peach lover, Judy Iwata

The peaches arrived in Valdez, Alaska (on the 29th) in perfect condition!
Thank you so much for your help and consideration. My sister was so excited! She has been sharing them with everyone - so we will probably have to do this again next year:) Thanks again for all your help - it was worth it!

While in Georgia (visiting my kids and grandkids), we stopped at a roadside produce stand. I asked about their "Georgia" peaches, and the lady behind the counter laughed and said, the Georgia ones are not really very good.
These we are selling today are from South Carolina!

We visited and got a tour of the orchard during the Peach festival last weekend and had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed looking through your "country store" and all the stuff you had on the walls. We bought 3 "layers" of peaches to take home with us to Arvada. We gave one layer to our friends and some individual ones to other friends and everyone really enjoyed them and said they were the best they have had-and we definitely agree! They truly are "sink" peaches-you have to eat them over the sink cuz they are so juicy! We also bought some peach salsa that was wonderful-it did not last long at all! I also really enjoyed nibbling on the pear tomatoes we bought from you on the way home. I had to go to your website to find some recipes for our now very ripe peaches because we will not let any of them go bad or not get eaten! I just wanted to let you know we enjoyed the tour, and your peaches are definitely the best we have had!
Thanks again!

THERESA,
Want you to know that your peaches made it to St Louis in fine fashion and have been thoroughly enjoyed by our friends and family here and in Denver. One of my co-workers said they were so sweet and good they were like "peach candy."
Thanks Again

I am sending this box of your goodies to my in-laws, told them about your amazing orchard which my husband and I recently visited, you son is a great store manager, we got a kick out of his sales pitch, good job and knew the products and prices well! Anyhoo, my in-laws moved to WA state two decades ago from CO and we try to send them reminders of CO, your products are awesome, I bought a variety and gave out as gifts to friends in Denver along with keeping a few for ourselves, "good pure yummy eatin!"
So, with that said, please fill this order with brochures, etc. I am sure they will pass on, the folks in WA must be sick of Apples?
Thanks Again,
Char Hawke, Aurora Colorado

Hi - just wanted to say that I ordered a box of peaches sent to thank some associates in Salt Lake City, and they got there really fast and I was told that they were wonderful, delicious, beautiful and came excellently packed!! Thanks so much - I see I did this just in time because you are now out of stock. Great service - I am very impressed and will order again next year!
Thanks, Kay Moller

Hi Theresa,
I ordered your peaches for my elderly parents in Houston Texas. They arrived in perfect condition and they said they are the best peaches they have ever eaten. They could not stop talking about how wonderful your peaches are. I will be ordering a gift of peaches for them regularly now. They said its the best gift I could give to them. Thank you for taking care to package and ship such a wonderful gift.
****************************************************
Hi Theresa - the package did arrive on Wed (two days!) and with your directions they placed them in a paper bag and plan to dig in to them today. They were very impressed with the packaging as well. So thanks, and good luck with your harvest!

Received the order already. I am extremely pleased. Thank you so much for the great service!

Thanks Theresa. Your orchard seems to be a great combination of a small business that cares about its customers mixed with a huge internet mogul.
****************************************************
Hello,
A student brought me your wonderful peaches today. They are delicious! I would love to send some to my parents in Dallas. Is that possible? If so, would you please send me some information on what I need to do to order peaches.
Thanks so much,
Meredith Beal

We just bought a bag of your peaches from King Soopers in Denver, specifically the store at Monaco and Leetsdale, and I want to thank you for myself.
For fifty years I have delighted in what my family laughingly calls "carroty peaches", meaning that I sound as if I am crunching a carrot when I eat them. I do not know the variety of the ones we bought (maybe Angelus? guessing from your website), but this is the first time I have ever had such splendid, sweet-tart, perfect, CARROTY peaches so late in August, and freestone at that!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
