Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary

The reviews on this location are spot-​on. Go. Did you hear me?
Laura was hands down the best, most knowledgable person I’ve met about her craft in the longest time. To compare Laura’s knowledge in any other field she would be a nuclear engineer; she’s that intelligent on herbal remedies. She recommended a special blend just for me – i felt like I was taking a university class while shopping on these fine, reasonably priced herbs.
Did I mention you need to go visit this place.

Such a great store. The vibe just says health and happiness when you enter, even the color scheme. Yes, it’s on the small size, but it’s got everything so well laid out, I just don’t notice the size. The selection is truly amazing anyway.
The women who work here are incredibly friendly and so well educated. I always know I’m going to find what I came in for. Love the lip balms. Seems I’m always buying another one when I come in for whatever. I buy things for myself, and for others, because the products are so pure. Many products are 100% organic, some with wildcrafted plants, no artificial anything, mostly made onsite, and the prices are very reasonable to boot. I’m forever grabbing up their business cards and giving them out to others.
Last time I was in, I saw they had some jewelry for sale, and I was told the flower art on the walls are for sale too. Both from local artists.
They offer classes on a variety of subjects. I haven’t gone to one yet, but I will someday. They have many supplies to make products at home too.
I have had a few massages by several different therapists through here. They were all terrific. They are no longer sharing a room in the back of the main store though. Now they have a couple rooms in the building just behind the shop. I heard they also have an acupuncturist sometimes too. The private health consultations, nutritional counseling, massages and acupuncture are by appointment only. You can book these online, or sometimes I call in, or stop in, to book them, though a session might not be immediately available.
It’s a such a great blessing to have this store, and these incredible women, in Ft. Collins.

The Herbal Niche that Fort Collins needed!
I go into Golden Poppy almost once a week, to get herbal blend tea and essential oils that have helped me give up caffeine all together and provided me with so much relief! Plus I have to say Sarah (the owner who is more likely than not in to help you with whatever you need) is a goddess! She is the most friendly and warming store owner I’ve ever met and will fix you up with the perfect blend just for what ails you.
She has also asked a few local jewelry artists to sell work in her shop (one including me) but she just wants to support the people she lives around.
And if you careto look for a little more information with some detailed background, she offers insanely cheap classes ($ 15) for all sorts of herbal practices.
It is such an experience to walk into Golden Poppy, I recommend it, definitely!!!

It’s fantastic to finally have a solid herbal apothecary in Fort Collins. They are knowledgeable, kind and have an excellent selection, even local herbs can be found here! I went in with a specific question and they blended a custom tincture for me that has been working really well. Highly recommended!

this is such a beautiful store — it’s a small space, but arranged in a very appealing and deliberate manner. i walked in with a horrific headcold about to get on a flight — i was pretty desperate for some help — and the owner, Sarah, took the time to help me figure out what would help me. Her herbs were so helpful! Ca’t wait to take a class here. — Kristin

I have been dealing with a complicated health issue that «modern» medicine has no answers for. Because of that, I have been seeing a group of amazingly talented Naturopathic doctors in the fort collins area. I was referred to Golden Poppy by Dr. Mary at the Wholeness Center to get some healing herbs. The owner of Golden Poppy is always so helpful, and the quality of herbs is outstanding. I feel very lucky that the Golden Poppy is here to direct me when choosing teas that heal my body.

I was so excited for the arrival of the Apothecary, and for good reason! I have yet to attend a class, but have frequented the shop several times, and always walked out happy. The owner, Sarah, has taken the time to answer my questions, has blended special teas and even created a tincture for what was needed. I really love this place and will continue to recommend it to friends. I can’t wait to make an appointment with one of the massage therapists!

I make special trips to Ft. Collins just to go to GPHA to get stuff. Love, love, love the owner and her products! Sarah is so well versed on nutrition and herbs, more than anyone else I know.
Golden Poppy is a cute store with a very good vibe. Just going inside it make me feel happier, probably because I know I can get what I want or need here without having to wander aimlessly around looking for someone to help me who may or may not know what I need. It’s very well laid out, so finding things are not difficult. There are books to buy, products in bulk, things already made up, and even seeds so anyone can grow their own herbs. It’s amazing how many things you can find in this place.
Golden Poppy has herbal tinctures, sprays and tea blends Sarah makes herself. She carries special items for brewing too, including a tote cup that’s perfect for traveling. I plan to buy one of those the next time I’m there. Then I won’t have to wait and strain my tea before I hop in the car to go somewhere, or for when I go camping. I like not having to go to another store just to get complimentary items.
My favorite things here are the lip balms, bath salts, body oils, and creams Sarah makes. They work very well, are completely natural, no artificial anything and they smell wonderful. No ones makes some of the combinations Sarah does. There are even ones men like, in terms of smell I mean.
In the back, there is also a room where several massage therapists work. I have yet to get a massage here, but next time I head that way, I’ll make an appointment for one too. I could really use a massage. I wish I lived closer so I could go here more often, but alas, I don’t.
I also haven’t taken any of Sarah’s classes yet, but that’s mostly due to the fact that I live an hour away.
You gotta check this place out!
