The land
CO Apple Valley sits in Penrose, Fremont County, Colorado — the eastern edge of the Arkansas River Valley, where high-desert sun and irrigated bench land have produced fruit since the late 1800s. The property is small by commercial standards and intentionally so.
Three things we do
- Orchard. Heritage apple varieties, tended at a pace that lets us actually know each tree.
- Short-term rental. A working-farm stay where guests walk the rows, pick fruit in season, and rest under the cottonwoods.
- Technology. Tools and platforms born from the orchard — for growers, guests, and curious neighbors.
Why heritage apples
The grocery-store apple is a narrow slice of what the species can do. Heritage varieties — many of them grown in Colorado a century ago and nearly lost — taste like specific places and seasons. Bringing a few of them back, on a few acres, is a small act with a long horizon.
