About Us
David and Mary Morton purchased their Palisade property in 1978. They became pioneers, exploring how to grow high-quality peaches without the conventional spraying that was typical of the time. In 1993, Morton’s Orchards were Certified Organic. As Farmers’ Markets became popular across Colorado, health and eco-conscious people sought certified organically grown fruit from Morton’s.
Their daughter, Heather Morton Burtness, her husband Joe Burtness, and their daughters continue the tradition of putting their hearts and efforts into the meaningful, careful stewardship of their orchards in Palisade and their farm here in Boulder County.
“It is our life’s work to feed people. It is with decades of experience that we care for the earth and choose organic, sustainable agricultural practices to feed people well.” ~ Heather Morton Burtness
