Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Kombucha

Posted on: April 30th, 2013 by fara

May 5th is just a few days away and we can’t resist any excuse for a good fiesta.

High Country Kombucha goes well with traditional Mexican cuisine and authentic food from south of the border is typically very healthy.  Click here for a link to an article and several recipes for preparing healthy Cinco de Mayo dishes to share with your friends and family.

If you’re looking for ways to spice up the party, click here to get suggestions about Cinco de Mayo party games for both adults and kids.

So pull out the sombrero, hang your pinata and pour yourself an ice-cold High Country Kombucha because May 5th is meant to be a nationwide celebration of our Mexican citizens and culture.

To all of our kombucha customers, Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Denver Farmer’s Markets 2013

Posted on: March 4th, 2013 by fara

It’s hard to believe we only have six short weeks until the ski season ends in the Vail Valley.  Personally, I’m still hoping for one more powder day and a really prominent goggle sunburn before winter wraps up and mud season starts.

High Country Kombucha has received one definite sign of spring’s imminent arrival this week, the reminder to register for this year’s Farmers Markets in Denver.

We’ve decided to continue with the two markets we participated in last summer and we hope to see many of you return with your logo growlers.  If you haven’t gotten your 64 oz. refillable growler yet, please come see us this summer and change the way your kombucha addiction affects the world by cutting down on glass recycling.  You can use any 64 oz. glass container for High Country Kombucha on tap at Farmers Markets, we don’t discriminate.  We refill growlers from a keg and we have a list of stores that currently carry our product on tap so refills are not limited to just the Farmers Markets on the weekends.  This is High Country Kombucha tea as fresh as you can possibly get it so plan on making the switch to a growler this summer.

If you’re not ready to make that commitment yet, you will still be able to buy ice cold 16 oz. bottles of tea and sample any flavor we have on tap at both markets.

South Pearl Street Farmer’s Market will take place every Sunday May 19 – November 3rd.  That’s 25 fun-filled Sundays starting at 9 am – 1 pm.  You can find more info by visiting the website, www.SouthPearlStreet.com

Highland Farmer’s Market takes place every Saturday June 1 – October 12th.  That’s 20 amazing Saturdays on the 1500 Block of Boulder Street in Denver, beginning at 9 am through 1 pm. For more information go to their website, www.denverhighland.org

Vail Turns 50 – Happy Birthday!

Posted on: December 19th, 2012 by fara

Last weekend was a big milestone for the Town of Vail and everyone at High Country Kombucha wishes them a happy 50th!  Many of us went to the concerts that took place all weekend and the fun events.  We even got free commemorative cupcakes;

Governor Hickenlooper spoke at the event on Saturday afternoon at the base of the new skier gondola.

Following the speeches, Vail had an impressive fireworks display right over the ski mountain & gondola;

Vail also handed out hot chocolate in cute little ski boot shaped mugs at the Saturday event.  Can you guess what favorite beverage I’ll be drinking out of my mug this season?

Thanks for throwing a fun party, Vail.  Congrats on 50 years.  Happy Holidays to everyone!

Vegan Brunch in Denver

Posted on: November 27th, 2012 by fara

The Nooch Market at 3360 Larimer is having a vegan brunch on Sunday, December 2nd from 11 AM to 2 PM.

High Country Kombucha will be available & we hope that not only vegans will attend.  Come for the healthy, probiotic drink and stay for the delicious vegan meal.  Don’t tell my local organic livestock farmer I said so, but aren’t we all at least a little vegan-curious?  Live the dream and try a vegan meal, you may end up a convert or you may just join the Meatless Mondays movement sweeping the nation.  Either way we hope to see many of you there!

Wise Traditions 2012

Posted on: October 24th, 2012 by fara

 

The Weston A Price Foundation is holding their annual  conference November 8 through 12 and High Country Kombucha is a sponsor.  We will have items to include in the goody bags and plenty of tea on tap throughout the conference.

The Weston A. Price Foundation supports a diet that includes raw milk, butter & cheese.  If you never had raw butter I highly recommend giving it a try since it is both creamy & delicious.

The foundation also supports including fermented foods in your diet for optimal nutrition.  What’s more fermented and healthy then High Country Kombucha?

wild root

Consumption of organ tissues, farm fresh eggs and saturated fats is also encouraged, which means that on this diet you can eat bacon & who doesn’t like bacon?

Here is a small excerpt from the Weston A Price Foundation website;

“The discoveries and conclusions of Dr. Price are presented in his classic volume, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. The book contains striking photographs of handsome, healthy primitive people and illustrates in an unforgettable way the physical degeneration that occurs when human groups abandon nourishing traditional diets in favor of modern convenience foods.”

At High Country Kombucha, we believe our tea is a great addition to any diet or lifestyle.   The probiotic content found in every bottle promotes good digestion and a healthy immune system.  We are especially proud to be chosen as a preferred beverage by the Weston A. Price Foundation.  We hope to see some of you at the conference next month.
