• Site Name: WalcherOrchards.com
• Site URL: Walcherorchards.com
• Purpose: E-commerce
• Technology: OS Commerce
  
• Notes: Walcherorchards.com is a family owned Peach growing Orchard based in Colorado. Walcher Orchards peaches may very well be some of the best peaches in the world, online or offline. The peaches are handpicked and individually wrapped by the owners throughout the growing season. Walcher Orchards ships their peaches via FedEx to deliver the freshet vine-ripened peaches possible. WalcherOrchards.com was designed originally by an Overseas firm and it's based on the venerable OScommerce Open Source shopping cart. The owners were initially quoted less than $500 for the complete job with a delivery time of about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, delivering even a simple shopping cart on such a low budget and quick turnaround is beyond the possibilities of even the most economical overseas contractor. Months later, having missed the harvest season, the project's budget had quadrupled and it still was not working properly. That's when the owners contacted us hoping to at least have a working website by the time of the next harvest season. I made the decision to leave the HTML code as it was and concentrate on the cart's functionality. The strategy proved right and WalcherOrchards.com has been working flawlessly ever since. We are now on our third successful season. The website closes when not in season, but there are plans to sell other products during the winter months.
