Eldorado Artesian Springs Makes First Shipment of Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water Outside of the Rocky Mountain Region

LOUISVILLE, CO--(Marketwire - September 15, 2008) - Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. (OTCBB: ELDO) today announced that it shipped its first order of Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water outside of the Rocky Mountain Region -- a major milestone in the Company's plans to aggressively expand distribution throughout the Western and Southwestern United States.

Under the direction of its new partner Organic Food Brokers, Eldorado's line of Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water is now being distributed throughout northern California by United Natural Foods, Inc., the nation's largest natural foods distributor. The northern California distribution center is the largest on the West Coast.

Organic Food Brokers, which represents many leading organic brands, is spearheading a program to aggressively expand distribution and is building a broker network expected to include major players such as New Frontier Marketing and Sunshine Specialties. The brokerage team expects shelf placement in both mainstream and independent grocers along the west coast, including placement in four regions of the nation's premier natural and health food retailer.

"We are extremely pleased with the positive reception our new organic product has received with key food brokers in our target expansion markets," said Doug Larson, president and CEO of Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. "Organic Food Brokers has moved very quickly in establishing the critical relationships required for an effective rollout. We believe the brokerage team they have assembled will drive accelerated sales of our unique Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water -- the nation's best tasting and only organically sweetened vitamin charged spring water."
