Over the years, we have gotten a lot of questions about us and our Palisade peaches! Here is a place to read answers to some of the more commonly asked questions. If your question still isn't answered, feel free to contact us!
Q: When will the Cunningham Peach Truck schedule be published?
A: We typically publish the Truck schedule in July. The best way to stay informed is to sign up for newsletter updates and to check the Peach Truck page often!
Q: Do I need to pre-order my peaches for the peach truck?
A: We only sell on a first-come-first served basis on our truck. There is no need to pre-order. Thanks!
Q: What varieties of peaches do you grow? Are they freestone?
A: We grow about 12 varieties of peaches, which are all yellow-fleshed and delicious. We don't grow white peaches or doughnut peaches. All the peaches we send out on the Peach Truck Route are semi-clings or freestone, which are easy to handle and freeze beautifully!
Q: How many acres of fruit do you farm?
A: We farm about 120 acres of land here in Palisade, Colorado.
Q: Do you sell directly to the public in Palisade?
A: During peak season (end of July through 1st of September) we do sell directly to the public out of our fruit barn at 3807 G Rd., Palisade. Stop on by and say hello!
Q: I don't live anywhere near your shed or peach route. Do you sell peaches in my area?
A: Perhaps! We do sell our peaches in several states besides Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. Please contact us with your state and we'll direct you to the closest "peachy" location!
Q: Are your peaches Organic?
A: While we aren't USDA certified organic, we strive to use the gentlest products available as sparingly as possible to ensure the high quality fruit and safety for our family and customers!
Q: What do you do in the off season?
A: While we do get a bit of a breather during the fall, off season brings many tasks for us to take care of! Peach trees yield for only about 20 years before losing quality and volume, so we are continuously turning over old orchards and processing and selling the firewood. Fall also means it's time to winterize our micro-sprinkler irrigation systems and perform maintenance on our many tractors and trucks. Not to mention end of year paper work and taxes! Spring brings pruning season, frost season, and finally thinning season. Before you know it, it's harvest time again!
