About Us

Want to know where we're located, why our fruit is so special and what it's like to work at Rancho Durazno?

Sustainable Philosophy
We are land stewards, committed to organic farming and living in harmony with the needs of our land. Our peaches, plums, sweet cherries and apricots grow organically, nourished with compost, flowering cover crops and the intense Colorado sunshine, and are sustained with just enough irrigation water from the Colorado River.

We also place great importance on providing sustainable conditions for our workforce. We believe that farm work can be a rite of passage for many, instead of a life of drudgery for a few. Our workers come to us from all over the world and live in our "hostel", a new manufactured home equipped with bunkbeds in two rooms, a kitchen, baths, washer, heating and cooling. We make a mutually satisfactory agreement for each laborers' compensation and arrangements.

Values
At Rancho Durazno, we not only hope you'll buy and enjoy our fruit, we also hope to share with you the important values that are a part of everything we do.

Our Values :: Growing great fruit involves these important principles
Sincerity, generosity, reliability, commitment, community building.
