Our Orchards
 Leroux
Creek, farms 200 acres of our own organic apple,
cherry, and apricot orchards. Each piece of fruit
is hand picked from our orchards to you. Our orchards
are located between the beautiful mountain towns
of Telluride and Crested Butte, in the agricultural
North Fork Valley of Western Colorado.

 Supporting
Local Farmers
In a society where
Corporations now dominate over family business, at Leroux Creek
Foods, supporting family owned and operated farms is a must! When
we finish harvesting the bounty from our own crops, we turn to
our small local organic farms where their strong commitment to
environmental values makes their fruit the obvious choice for our
sauce. |
A Brief History of
Leroux Creek Foods
In
1986, Leroux Creek built a large scale dehydration
facility on the property where our cannery is
located today. 1990 brought big changes for Leroux
Creek Foods when, after two successive stone
fruit failures in 1988 and 1989, our plant was
transformed from a dehydration facility into
a cannery. From that point unto the present,
Leroux Creek has developed, manufactured, and
marketed it's own brand of natural apple sauces;
in addition to co-packing for other specialty
labels.
