Salida is a foodie, locavore town...eat and drink local. I went to buy some eggs at Ploughboy (they only accept cash, check or IOUs) and was informed that the eggs, previously from Center in the next valley over, were now produced In Town at a neighboring backyard just a few blocks over.
but the big news in town has been the opening of a local distillery...not to be confused with the local breweries, such as Elevation, located just over the line in neighboring Poncha Springs. Woods opened on March 2 to a throng of well wishers.
It was a family affair, parents with children, folks from the retired community, ski patrolers, business people, musicians, artists, snowboard riders, writers, and probably a few drunks from all or any of these categories.
So a new sign on 2nd Street...a new place to drop in besides the Dawn Cafe,
...a new label to show off in your liquor closet...
The gin, by the way, is excellent...using juniper berries from the mountains to the west of town....cheers!!!
