Established 5 acre vineyard in Colorado's fruit belt of East Orchard Mesa - Palisade Colorado.

The Grand Valley at the confluence of the Grand (Colorado) and Gunnison Rivers is a historic fruit-farm area. Developed a hundred years ago by adding 4 large irrigation canals to the valley, the canals are filled by the Colorado River with highly priority water rights. The community has become large self sufficient with the highly diversified energy industry; natural gas, coal, oil shale, oil and uranium. The Vineyard is surrounded by hundreds of other similar farms growing mainly peaches, with apple, apricot, and cherry orchards and wine grapes. There are now approximately 20 plus small Wineries supplied by the local vineyards. The community should be very sustainable.
