Kokopelli Farm and Produce

What Kokopelli Farm and Produce does

Kokopelli Farm and Produce is a family-owned farm operation based in Palisade, Colorado, founded by Brant Harrison in 1979 and operated across multiple generations of the Harrison family. The business cultivates 55 acres of USDA certified organic orchards (16,000 trees) and produces fresh stone fruits, cherries, apples, and seasonal vegetables, positioning itself as one of the largest certified organic peach producers in Colorado. The operation has been fully organic since 1991.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model: a physical farm market at I-70 Exit 45 in Palisade selling fresh produce and on-site kitchen products (fried pies, fudge, donuts, jams, sauces, frozen pies); direct-to-consumer shipping of fresh peaches during the July through October 12 season; wholesale produce distribution to retail stores and roadside stands via email ordering; and a presence at local farmers markets and festivals including an annual Christmas Market event. The product portfolio spans core fresh produce alongside a significant value-added kitchen line where signature items like hand-peeled peach fried pies drive destination appeal.

There is no proprietary technology, no external funding, and no institutional ownership. The entire business runs on family labor plus seasonal support, with traditional organic farming practices (hand-thinning, manual harvest, hand-packing) and a Square-based e-commerce storefront. Pricing is unit-based with bulk discounts for event orders (25+ fried pies, 10+ fudge boxes), and wholesale pricing is quote-based. The customer base is highly distributed across local visitors, DTC subscribers, and small wholesale buyers, with no concentration in any single enterprise account.

Direct peers

• Blossom Bluff Orchards: A family-run certified organic stone fruit orchard in California's San Joaquin Valley growing peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries with farm market sales and direct shipping. Comparable as a multi-generation organic stone fruit grower with a similar family-farm and direct-to-consumer orientation.
• Ela Family Farms: A certified organic family orchard in Hotchkiss, Colorado (North Fork Valley) growing organic stone fruit including peaches, apples, pears, and berries with farm-direct and online ordering channels. Comparable as a multi-generational Colorado organic orchard selling direct to consumers, but operating in a different sub-region of the Western Slope.
• Talbott Farms: A multi-generation Palisade, Colorado peach and tree fruit orchard with a farm market and direct shipping of Palisade peaches. Operates in the same geographic micro-region (Colorado's Western Slope) with similar product mix (organic/conventional stone fruit, jams, baked goods) and overlapping customer base, making it the closest comparable farm in the immediate market.
• Nash's Organic Produce: A certified organic farm in Washington's Olympic Peninsula growing vegetables, berries, and grains with farm market sales, CSA, and wholesale distribution. Comparable as a multi-decade organic farm with direct and wholesale channels, though focused more on vegetables/berries than tree fruit.
• The Fruit Company: A Hood River, Oregon-based grower and direct-to-consumer shipper of premium organic and conventional fruit gift boxes (pears, apples, stone fruit, dried fruit, baked goods). Comparable as a direct-to-consumer fruit shipper competing in the same national online peach/gift fruit category.
• Frog Hollow Farm: A certified organic stone fruit orchard in Brentwood, California with an on-site farm market, CSA, and direct-to-consumer shipping of peaches, nectarines, plums, and stone fruit. Comparable in combining USDA organic production, value-added products (preserves, baked goods), farm market retail, and e-commerce shipping under a recognized regional brand.

Broad incumbents

• Stemilt Growers: A large, established Washington State grower/packer/shipper of organic and conventional apples, pears, cherries, and stone fruit with national distribution, retail partnerships, and a dedicated organic program. Comparable as an organic fruit grower with national reach, but operates at materially greater scale and a broader category footprint.
• Harry & David: An Oregon-based mail-order fruit and gift food company (now part of 1-800-Flowers) shipping premium pears, peaches, apples, baked goods, and gourmet gifts nationwide. Comparable as a national direct-to-consumer fruit shipper with a gift/holiday orientation and farm-rooted brand, but at vastly larger scale and broader product mix.
