Crop production in mountains?

Would potato- or grain-like crops be able to flourish in northern alpine regions? There's a lot to be said about the Andeans, but the have the benefit of living near the equator that other civilizations do not

Considerations:
- 8-12 thousand feet elevation
- Steep, primarily granite mountains
- Highlands climate
- 78 to 48 F in the summers
- 45 to 15 F in the winters
- 36-40 degrees North (on an Earth map)
- late medieval technology level (but not necessarily the time period)
