The New Face of American Agriculture Based in the desert foothills, on the western slope of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, Palisade Produce specializes in bringing their customers the sweetest, ripest, most delicious produce possible. Palisade Produce was founded in January of 2007 by David and Jamie Cox. David grew up on his parents’ peach farm, Rocky Mountain Peach Company, and has been operating on his own ground, full-time, since May of 2005. Jaime has been managing the local farmers markets for the last few years and will now be the sales manager for the wholesale operation. Their guarantee to
customers is to deliver fruit of exceptional quality at low prices in the most convenient way possible. David and Jamie both grew up in Palisade and began dating their junior year at Palisade High School. David returned to the area to pursue farming after obtaining his bachelors degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado (CU). Jaime studied architecture at CU and went on to earn her masters degree in architecture from Syracuse University. She now practices architecture at Chamberlin Architects, in Grand Junction when she’s not selling peaches.
