Low-sugar, organic fruit conserves, gourmet tomato sauces, and smoke dried tomatoes grown in Southwestern Colorado's high desert and crafted under the guidance of celebrated chef and author Deborah Madison. The intense flavors of our products come from their origins in the blue sky, red rock country of the Colorado Plateau where they are grown organically by company founder, Bill Manning, at Kiva Orchard. High Desert's low-sugar fruit conserves, tomato sauces and smoke dried tomatoes onserves are made from the 25 varieties of organic fruits grown by company founder, Bill Manning, at his Kiva Orchard. They preserve the unique flavor of their fruits with small amounts of organic sugar before blending them with familiar and sometimes exotic spices. The vision behind High Desert Foods is to produce flavorful fruit in a healthy, sustainable manner. The fruit growers are strongly inspired by the small-scale farming of the Anasazi people who lived in the area 1,000 years ago. All of High Desert Foods products are produced at their 20,000 square foot processing plant in Dolores, Colorado and are all made by people who are exceptional at taking great ingredients and transforming them into new forms that are truly magical. High Desert Foods products contain 50-65% less sugar, 50% fewer carbs as most jams and jellies and can be used in a multitude of ways. Try them as an addition to your favorite yogurt, between layers of your favorite cake, as part of a cheesd course with chevre, manchego or brie and as the perfect topping for fresh, warm crusty bread to experience the "WOW" factor for yourself!
