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!

 

Happy Earth Day 2013!

Posted on: April 17th, 2013 by fara

Earth Day will be here before we know it.  Last year several High Country Kombucha employees joined the “Meatless Mondays” campaign and committed to not eat any meat products one day each week to cut down on their carbon footprints.  Here are some employee comments from the past year:

“I never thought it would be so easy, my family will keep doing this for years to come!”

“I thought I’d get sick of eating salads but I had all sorts of great options”

“We had so many meatless options at local restaurants & delis that I never had to pack a lunch.”

Meatless Earth day Kombucha Tea Party

We had no idea how much we would enjoy this trip down the rabbit hole and we encourage everyone to join the Meatless Monday Kombucha Tea party this year.  You will shrink your carbon footprint while contributing to the 2 billion Acts of Green Earth Day goal.

If you’re already doing this campaign you can go to the earthday.org website for more great ideas.

A very merry un-birthday, to everyone of you!  Unless of course it is in fact your birthday.

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

Two recent articles in the Vail Daily

Posted on: January 15th, 2013 by fara

The employees of High Country Kombucha live, work & play in the Vail valley in Eagle County, Colorado.  This is not a cheap place to live, or to own a business but we do have some great perks like a valley wide newspaper that runs occasional stories about local businesses.  Check out the latest article about High Country Kombucha by clicking HERE

The second article in the Vail Daily reviewed functional beverages as a category and you can link to that article HERE

We agree that drinking sodas is ‘so last decade’ and want to point out that kombucha tea has more probiotic content than most yogurt found on the shelves.  We want to thank the Vail Daily for the exposure and hope that it encourages many who read it to try our High Country brand of kombucha tea.

Support the Broncos this Saturday!

Get your brunch on this Saturday at the Nooch Market on Larimer street in Denver.  Our representative will be there with plenty of High Country Kombucha tea.  Enjoy the brunch, the tea and the fabulous company before the Broncos game in the afternoon.

Go Broncos!  Don’t miss the divisional playoff madness this Saturday afternoon at 2:30 PM in Denver.  If you can’t go in person then be glued to the set or cheering them on at your favorite sports bar.

We have a few pics to share from the late December game against the Browns and we couldn’t be more excited about the playoffs!  Some of us our already dreaming about the Superbowl, Go Broncos!

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!

Vegan Neat Market in Denver

Posted on: November 14th, 2012 by fara

Sunday, November 18 is the next Neat Market in Denver at the HoodLab.  All products sold at the Neat Market are totally vegan including High Country Kombucha which will be available for sale.

Huge props go out to plantsanimals.org & Hood Lab for supporting the Neat Market.  Hood Lab may be the new “go to” location for the Neat Market so keep you eyes peeled for the next one.  We hope to see you there!

Prop 37 Failed but NonGMO Movement Benefits

Posted on: November 8th, 2012 by fara

Recently High Country Kombucha obtained the NonGMO Project Verified seal for all of our products.  We were excited to see Prop 37 on the ballot for California this year and hope that more states take initiative when it comes to this subject of citizens having the right to know what’s in the products we consume.

Unfortunately, Californians did not vote to approve Proposition 37 but awareness of the NonGMO movement has increased so much that it can hardly be considered a failure.

Thanks to the $46 million dollars spent by chemical companies to defeat proposition 37 in California, more Americans know more now about GMOs than ever before.

61 countries around the world now require GMO labeling and many ban GMOs outright including most European Union countries.  The United States is far behind the progress made elsewhere on this issue of  nutrition & health but we are moving forward.  Keep fighting the good fight and don’t be an experiment.
