Olde Towne Village Market

Stopped by the Altan Alma shop in the Olde Towne Village Market last night. The market is incredibly charming, with little wooden shops and lights all around. This particular stand carried dried fruit, grains of all kinds, as well as coffee and tea to enjoy on the spot. The best part — they can make any drink tingly, because the farm grows electric buttons!
Electric buttons are flowers of a South American herb, which will give you a really interesting tingling sensation in the mouth, so when added to a drink, they make for quite the combination. We had tingly teas, but the owner said he can add the «potion» to anything — coffee, sodas, etc.
Spent quite a bit of time chatting with the owner — very friendly guy, who will have you try all kinds of interesting things and seems to be an endless source of information about food. We also picked up some delicious dried sour cherries and popped quinoa (unsweetened, which I think will make for a nice breakfast cereal for me). Don’t miss this place next time you’re in the area!

Historic Old Town Louisville, Colorado just got even better with the addition of a great, European-​style outdoor market complete with an organic grocery store, coffee shop, barbecue sauce store, Tibetan crafts, electric bikes and more.
The Olde Towne Village Market still has a couple booths available for interested vendors, so if you’ve got a product to sell (artwork, jerky, smoked salmon, muffins, crafts, clothing, etc.), stop by the Market and check it out. It’s a quaint market in a beautiful old 19^th century town that has been voted the best town in America two times in a row by Money Magazine.
