The Eventide Story

On a nippy fall day in 2004, 16-year-old Spencer Parker was touring his family’s Parker County farm in preparation for hunting season.  As he walked past a bluff overlooking the Brazos River, he noticed that his feet were growing cold.

Looking down, he noticed that he was standing in a flow of water.  Being curious, he traced the small stream to a large rock formation up the hill.

Little did Spencer know that he had just discovered the pure, crisp water that would become Eventide Spring Water.

He told his father about the spring, and thus was born the dream of creating a bottled water company on the site of this natural spring, capturing Mother Nature’s fresh creation.  The commitment was simple:  Nothing added, nothing taken away.

Research through local newspaper archives revealed that, as far back as 1914, travelers had stopped at this site to enjoy a revitalizing taste of fresh spring water as they headed west over the Brazos.  The old Brannon Bridge, just one mile south of present day I-20, crossed the river on the Parker family farm.  Guests would fill up their canteens and any other container with the natural spring water before they continued on.

Now, Texans can find Eventide Natural Spring Water in over 250 locations, with more on the way soon.

Naturally.  Texan.  Eventide.  There ain’t none better.
