Montana Farmacy — Local services in Eureka

So much goodness packed into this corner of Eureka! We explored the building, the decor, and the friendly folks behind the counter for a half hour before we even started in on the goods and goodies. Their Nocturne Number Nine is a coffee experience as velvety rich and progressively complex as its namesake Chopin composition. We were treated to an exquisite charcuterie board with thoughtfully sourced and diverse ingredients that satisfied foodies as well as our kiddo.

Above and beyond all the fun and delicious stuff is the Owners’ knowledge and supply of herbs, oils, teas, and in-house-made extracts and tinctures. Deep knowledge, and patience to ask all the questions that might help uncover what’s ailing. Lyme disease and auto-immune expertise is a rare and welcome service.

I could try to write about everything we found in the main shop, deli, bookstore and food truck, but ... it’s well worth stopping in. In the unlikely event you don’t discover that unique gift for the person who has everything, just ask the shopkeepers…they...

While the main Google page here says "Masks Required," many web pages are out of date to current policies, as mask requirements have been dropped. I never assumed I'd run into a store still stuck in Full-on Faucism.

No place ANYWHERE in Montana we have visited have required masks, and here we drop into Montana Farmacy for some coffees, Eureka, MT, Conservative Capitol of NWMT, and are told right after entering the store, "We have a mask policy; if you do not have your own (why would I?), there are some right there in the box for your use." Um, they are out in the open, handled by other store patrons...yeah, that's clean!?

Requiring masks in your store will not save the world from Covid-19, in light of the lack of science supporting any barrier efforts the past 20 months. You are not obviating any assumed liabilities, and clinging to optics of compliance helps no one.

Too bad, because my money went to another coffee merchant down the street. That's called free...

My family and I were not long ago on a road trip driving through Eureka and stopped in the Montana Farmacy. Oh my goodness, this was an amazing decision that was the highlight of our entire road trip, as far as a fun stop. This is more than 'just a business'! This is a family who offers quality products, including handmade natural soaps, quality teas that will be prepared the way you like it, snacks, books, jewelry, and many interesting treasures at reasonable prices. Each family employee is kind, caring, friendly, warm, fun and uplifting. We are always on the hunt to find quaint, family owned shops like this often and when we do, we support them and will make it a regular part of our trip to the Kalispell area, especially for the natural soaps. Try the lavender bar soap... Oh my, does my wife love this!!! Can't wait to visit...
