On the other side of summer break now 😭. Too fast. Too fast.
You may recall that each year we've wandered around to catch glimpses of why we're an earth-friendly general store, to meet up with some of the other entrepreneurs whose goods we stock, and to seek out new small-batch-goods we haven't yet found in Chicago.
As I say every year, getting out of the city, it is always a relief to be reminded how much nature and awe-inspiring landscape still exists out there. A gift to be protected.
This year we wandered up to the very far north west nook of Montana where Montana Farmacy sits. We have been stocking their loose tea blends, balsamic vinegars, fire ciders, face toners, and assorted goods for a few years now. Originally, I'd found this maker and old fashioned general store at another small business in my travels, and I ❤️ the dreamy captures in their IG so much it's been on my list to visit ever since.
The Farmacy is a labyrinth of spaces ~ each curated with so much bygone-era eye candy, heart, and carefully-crafted potions, notions, and treats. Indigo kindly spent some time walking me through the world she's created. Gah. I love it so much. If you ever get the chance to get near there, it's most definitely worth wandering to.
In the meantime, Chicago, I'll be making some of it more convenient for you soon. We've got some restocks on Montana Farmacy teas and balsamics that'll be hitting the webshop soon and coming with us to August markets. Oh~ and yes, of course, some new ones too!! 🤠

The website is up again. I'm just getting moving on getting back to work. Hope you've all been well.
