With care, respect and love – we produce premium Palisade peaches, fruit and produce on our Certified Organic farmland
Our story begins with Heather Morton Burtness growing up on one of Colorado’s first organic farms, located in Palisade. Her parents, David and Mary Morton, purchased property in 1978. They became pioneers, exploring how to grow high quality peaches without the conventional spraying that was typical of the time. In 1993 Morton’s Orchards were Certified Organic by the state of Colorado, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) took over in 1996. As Farmers’ Markets became popular across Colorado, health and eco-conscious people sought certified organically grown fruit from Morton’s.
Family owned and operated since 1978
The Burtness family, including their daughters, continue the tradition of putting their hearts and efforts into the meaningful, careful stewardship of all life.
“It is our life’s work to feed people. It is with decades of experience that we care for the earth and choose organic, sustainable agricultural practices to feed people well.” ~ Heather Morton Burtness
