To start off I’d look into mountainous South American fruits. Cherimoya definitely comes to mind when you say ambient ‘cooler’ 60-70 F averages.. a lot of my seedling cherimoyas and even atemoyas started to succumb above 85-90F in the sun.. not all but quite a few.. also they can take freezes down somewhere in the 20s F

They will need the heat to ripen properly like most fruit.60-70F is quite cold, I think you will have trouble growing much of anything that's a sweet fruit. What will grow well is lettuce, cilantro broccoli, that type of thing. I really wish I could grow those things year round. It's way too hot here, the just bolt immediately.
