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."
