I’ve tasted Georgia peaches. I’m pretty sure those Georgia peach growers hired a really good PR firm because anyone, anyone who pits (get it? pits?) a Georgia peach against a Colorado grown peach knows that nothing beats our peaches. Those of you that have tasted it know that nothing beats the Red Trolley’s Colorado peach sorbetto.

Last year we sourced our peaches just about as local as you can get (any local-er and they would have grown in the parking lot). They came from a peach tree on Vrain St. in the Highlands Neighborhood. This year, increased volume has led to an increased need; the lovely little peach tree on Vrain St. was no longer enough. We went looking for a Palisade Peach farm that could sufficiently fulfill our peach fix. Today, all our needs were met.

This morning we unloaded 800 (that’s right, eight hundred) pounds of beautiful Palisade peaches from the Talbott Family farm. The Talbotts have been growing peaches for 5 generations—from what I’ve tasted today they clearly know how to grow a delicious peach. The Red Trolley is buzzing with the sounds and smells of fresh peach everything from gelatos, sorbettos and ice creams to jams and cobblers.

Summer is not over yet, head on over to the Trolley and get some, while the getting’s good!
