With the Colorado peach harvest underway, shoppers are already seeing locally grown fruit in stores, at farmers market stands and on restaurant menus. This year, locals may also notice price increases. Producers on the Western Slope say they’ve raised prices to help offset increases in operating costs, such as labor and fertilizer. Talbott Farms in Palisade, for example, upped peach prices by 7% this season, said partner Charlie Talbott. It’s the first time in several years that the company has instituted an increase and it wasn’t an easy decision. “It’s a judgment call every year,” Talbott said.
