One of the largest fruit operations in the Grand Valley, but it's a farm market and cidery, not a u-pick apple destination — go for fresh-pressed cider and already-picked fruit, not fieldwork.
Talbott Farms is described in the research notes as one of the largest fruit operations in the Grand Valley, and its own website backs that up: it markets itself around “World Renowned Palisade Peaches,” with apples mentioned as just one input alongside juices, ciders, and wines sold at the farm stand. If you’re picturing a rustic pick-your-own apple field, this record points somewhere different — a commercial farm market and cidery.
The record marks u-pick as false here, which is a meaningful data point given how many other Palisade-area orchards in this batch do offer it. Pre-picked fruit is marked available instead. For a visitor whose main goal is the experience of picking apples off a tree, Talbott Farms is not the match — but for someone who wants good fruit and cider without the fieldwork, that’s exactly the trade-off on offer.
Cider_mill is marked true in the record, and Talbott’s own site confirms it produces and sells apple cider, along with other juices and wines, at the farm stand. That’s a genuine draw distinct from most u-pick-focused stops in this research batch — fresh-pressed cider (and possibly cider donuts, though that specific item isn’t confirmed in the record) is the kind of product that rewards a farm-stand visit even without any picking involved.
Despite pulling directly from the orchard’s own website, no page found named specific apple varieties. The framing throughout the source material treats apples as one ingredient among several — peaches, juices, ciders, wines — rather than a standalone attraction with its own variety lineup to plan a visit around. If knowing exactly what apples you’d be buying matters to you, that’s a question for the farm stand itself rather than something this record can answer.
Unlike many other records in this research batch, Talbott’s weekly hours are confirmed directly from the farm’s own site: Sunday 1–5pm, Monday through Thursday 11am–6pm, and Friday–Saturday 11am–7pm — a fairly generous, commercial-scale schedule. What’s missing is any season start or end date, so while you can trust the hours once the farm stand is open for the year, this record can’t tell you when that season begins or wraps up.
Talbott sits on F 1/4 Road in Palisade, in the same general Fruit and Wine Byway corridor as several other orchards in this research batch, including Green Barn Fruit Co., High Country Orchards, and Peachfork Orchards & Vineyards. As with those, the latitude and longitude on file are city-center coordinates rather than a geocoded point for the exact street address, so navigate by the address itself. The phone number on file is 970-464-5943.
Talbott Farms is a well-documented, large-scale farm market and cidery in the heart of Palisade’s fruit country — reliable hours, confirmed cider production, but no u-pick apples and no confirmed variety list. Treat it as a stop for buying good fruit and fresh cider, not for spending an afternoon picking.
