ALL STANDS WILL BE CLOSED
AUGUST 11, 12, AND 13!
The peaches didn't ripen this week. Our farmer assures us there will be plenty of his juicy, sweet, flavorful peaches next week, though, as he begins the harvest of the nextvariety peaches. Anticipation, indeed!
Have a great week, folks. We'll see you next weekend!

THE PEACHES ARE COMING!
THE PEACHES ARE COMING...!
The 2023 peach crop is ripening on the trees. And it will be a good harvest! The vegetable crops are looking good, too.
Introducing...peach wood for smoking!
Available in bags of chips, splits, chunks, knots, and small logs!

WE'RE MOVING!
The fat lady is singing. It's an end of an era. The location of our Gillette stand has been sold for development, so we're relocating to somewhere nearby. Stay tuned for more information and remember to look for our trademark yellow and black signs!
The end is near...! (2022)
The end of the season, that is.
The O'Henry peaches are here, and that means the end of peach season is at hand.
The good news is, these peaches have "long legs" (that's farmer-speak for they have a naturally long shelf life).
So buy extra to last you well into October.
Also, the winter squash is in, so get yours while you can!
See our Selling Dates & Places page to learn more about where to get these delicious peaches before they're all gone!
The peaches are coming!!!
The first weekend for our fabulous Palisade peaches and produce will be
the last weekend in July (29th-31st), 2022.
Look for our bright yellow & black signs
at our usual times and places in Casper, Gillette,
Douglas, and Glenrock!
Hope everyone had a safe winter. We look forward to catching up with you all at the stand!
(removed from Palisade peaches page. In 2020 Trent built a sorting shed. Now they are picked into baskets and sorted at the sorting shed)
That's all, folks!
A great big thank you to all our customers across central and north east Wyoming! It was a joy to visit, share recipes, and revel in those unbeatable peaches and delicious produce with you.
We hope you all and your families have a safe and wonderful year until we see you again next season: July 2020.

Glenrock, Wyo.
The peaches are coming!
The peaches are coming...!
The 2021 peach crop is ripening on the trees. And it will be a good harvest! And the melon's coming in early! Unfortunately the Colorado's Western Slope's apricot, cherry and pear crops took a beating with a spring freeze. We will endeavor to bring Washington cherries and apricots for a couple of weeks as available. The vegetable crops are looking good.
Come visit one of our stands!

Butternut and spaghetti squash are being harvested, and we will have them at our stands this weekend!
Peach Shortage This Weekend!!!
Only one stand open: Gillette, on Friday Aug. 3, 8am-sold out.
The high heat has caused the peach trees to go into survival mode, which stops the ripening process. Now that we've had some day of cooler nights, the trees are "rebooting" and a veritable plethora of amazing peaches will be available next week.
All pre-orders taken by Aug. 1 will be filled this weekend. We will contact those customers individually. We are unable to take pre-orders for this weekend, but will happily take pre-orders for future weekends.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Only a few more weeks of
peaches and produce!
All stands will be open this weekend, Aug. 23-27!
Gillette open Sunday, too!
See the Selling Dates & Places page for more info.
Palisade Peach Season has arrived!
Next weekend will be our first market of the season!
Our Casper and Gillette stands will be open from 8am-6pm Friday, July 13 and Saturday the 14th from--if we're not sold out. The following weekend, we will launch our Glenrock and Douglas stands also.
The other, various crops are just now coming into harvest, so our offering will be limited to those that are ready: early sweet corn, 3 or 4 kinds of summer squash, California red and white small potatoes, green tomatoes, and SOME: pickles, cucumbers, green beans, beets, and slicing tomatoes. We will try to get some big zucchini also. Look for our special honey; basil-vinegarette marinade/dressing; and homemade jellies again.
For questions and special orders, please call Pat at (307) 258-5163 and we will be happy to get you what you want as it becomes available.
Thank you for being our customer, and have a great weekend! We hope to see you at the stands next weekend!
Yes! The peaches are coming soon!
But it wouldn't be 2020 if there weren't some bad news, too.
A late frost in April wiped out the cherry and apricot crops and the majority of this year's peach crop on Colorado's Western Slope. So we won't have Colorado apricots or cherries. If we can find some good apricots and cherries from somewhere else, we'll bring them.
Because of our long-standing relationship with our peach grower, however, we will have his fabulous peaches for you! Just be aware the prices will need to increase a bit this year to keep his orchards going until next year. Between the effects of the pandemic and the freeze, he's struggling on two fronts.
We visited some of the melon and vegetable fields recently, and those crops are doing fine so far. We'll post some pics soon.
We're looking at a July 24th weekend to start the season. If it starts sooner, we'll let you know here and on Facebook.
--The Sherwoods
Ooops!
As the peach crop in Palisade was devastated by a hard freeze in April (2020), there has been a shortage and we've had a heck of a time trying to meet the demand. In an effort to provide tasty peaches for everyone, we have tried bringing in peaches from farmers in other places. While there have been a lot of hits, there have also been some misses. If you happened to have gotten some "misses," let us know and we'll replace them for you. We value your business and always guarantee our produce.
The peaches are coming!
The peaches are coming...!
They're in early this year. :)

Please note: Due to family matters that need our attention, we will not be doing pre-season, cherry sales this year. :(
selling schedule for Glenrock and Douglas 2017
Look for us Sunday afternoons 12-6pm at the Plains Motel in Douglas and
Monday afternoons 12-6pm (or until sold out) in Glenrock next to Eastgate.
We are nearly running out of family to run the stands, especially since Paul (Pat's husband) died. And those of us who are left are getting older and can't do everything we used to do (and the young ones have a few years of growing to do).
But we still want to serve our original customers in Douglas and Glenrock. So, we cut back our hours and re-arranged selling days, and it seems to be working for us. We hope it is working well enough for you all, too. We appreciate your continued interest and support!
