Poppy's Peach Stand: Palisade Peaches at Bath Garden Center

Few things say summer in Colorado quite like biting into a fresh, juicy Palisade peach. Known for their incredible sweetness, exceptional flavor, and deep Colorado roots, these Colorado peaches are a seasonal treasure that brings communities together across our state. Here at Bath Garden Center in Fort Collins, we're thrilled to partner with McLean Farms to bring Northern Colorado the best peaches of the season through our beloved Poppy's Peach Stand.

What Makes Palisade Peaches So Special

Palisade peaches are grown in the unique microclimate of Palisade, Colorado, nestled in the heart of our state's fruit-growing region. Combining warm, sunny days, refreshingly cool nights, and nutrient-rich soils creates perfect growing conditions for these exceptional fruits.

These peaches are celebrated throughout Colorado for their impressive size, incredible juiciness, and that sweet flavor that captures the essence of summer. Harvest season runs from mid-summer through early fall, making them one of Colorado's most eagerly anticipated crops every year. When you taste a Palisade peach, you're experiencing the best of what Colorado agriculture offers!
