Fortunate Fruit

Fortunate Fruit is a family-owned and operated 84-acre orchard growing certified organic fruit in the canyon country of Western Colorado. The farm grows cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, watermelons, apples, pears, Asian pears, plums, and potatoes across its full acreage. Peaches alone span 14 yellow varieties plus a white variety, while cherries include three red varieties and Rainier. Rather than harvesting early for shipping convenience, the farm waits until fruit is tree-ripened and at peak flavor. Most fruit is sold wholesale through Rogers Mesa Fruit Co. in Hotchkiss, Colorado, and also reaches grocery stores under the Colorado Organic Fruit label. The orchard is a private residence and not open to walk-in visitors.
