Yes — 2026 Palisade peach pre-orders are currently open for select shipping weeks. As with every Colorado peach season, exact harvest timing depends on weather, variety, orchard conditions, and fruit maturity.
Palisade peaches are a highly seasonal crop. Early varieties can begin in summer, while the main freestone harvest typically arrives later in the season. We update availability as we receive clearer information from the growing region and as shipping weeks fill.
What Are Palisade Peaches?
Palisade peaches are peaches grown in and around Palisade, Colorado, a fruit-growing community on Colorado’s Western Slope. The area is known for warm summer days, cooler nights, abundant sunshine, and well-drained orchard ground near the Colorado River.
That combination helps produce peaches with rich flavor, high natural sweetness, and the juicy texture that has made Palisade peaches one of Colorado’s best-known seasonal foods. For many people, Palisade peach season is as much a part of summer as farmers markets, roadside stands, and backyard peach cobbler.
Because the season is short and demand is high, Palisade peaches are often available for only a limited window each year. The best fruit is harvested when mature, handled carefully, and enjoyed soon after it arrives.

In a typical season, early peaches may begin in July, while the main freestone Palisade peach harvest often peaks from late July through August and can continue into September depending on variety and weather. Exact timing varies by orchard, elevation, spring conditions, summer heat, and the specific peach varieties being harvested.

Palisade Peaches Shipped Nationwide
Shipping ripe peaches takes care. Our Palisade peaches are packed in a custom foam-padded mailer and shipped by 2-day or overnight service to help protect freshness, texture, and quality in transit.
Peaches are naturally delicate, especially when picked for flavor rather than long-term storage. That’s why we use fast shipping options and protective packaging instead of treating peach shipping like an ordinary dry-goods order.
When your peaches arrive, open the box promptly, inspect the fruit, and allow firmer peaches to finish softening at room temperature. Once ripe, enjoy them fresh or refrigerate briefly to slow further ripening.
