What is an Apothecary Farm?

A modern revival of old-world herbal wisdom. 10 Years Strong in Helena! 

For centuries, an apothecary was a place where plants were gathered, prepared, and transformed into remedies that supported everyday wellbeing. Before pharmacies and mass-produced supplements, there were local herbalists—hands in the soil, gathering what the seasons offered, crafting natural preparations with intention and care.

Wild Willow Wellness is both a return to that tradition and a pathway to a future that honors the earth and plant intelligence, while bringing about better health and connection for the community of Helena, Montana, and the surrounding area. 

Our Local Apothecary: Grown by Hand, Crafted with Heart

What our apothecary produces does not come from a far away warehouse or a factory. It's right here in Helena, coming from a living garden, herbs, flowers, and berries grown personally and regeneratively.

We currently have over 75 varieties of medicinal herbs and berries on our 8,000 square foot lot, right here in town! 

 

Every tincture, syrup, tea blend, or recipe begins in the soil and ends in your hands, infused with the rhythm of the four seasons. As a member, you’re not just receiving herbal goods. You’re joining a relationship with the land, the plants, and the stories they carry.

Membership is a seasonal subscription that brings you into the creative herbal process throughout the year. Each season, you’ll receive:

  • Hand-Harvested Herbs & Berries

I share the exact recipes I create: teas, tonics, syrups, vinegars, salves, and more. You learn how and why each plant is used.

  • Four Seasonal Apothecary Packages (you can choose 1-4 seasons)

Beautifully curated goods crafted from each season’s harvest, unique every time, while also returning each year with member favorites. Refills are available if you run out and want more!

  • Stories, Folklore & Herbal Wisdom

Learn the traditions, nutrition, intelligence and functionality behind each plant. They are your allies!

Member Testimonials

“I love Jesse’s oxymel and liver tincture. I’ve always been really attracted to herbs, and the amount of love and care that goes into Jesse’s products is fantastic! With our rich Montana ecosystem, why would I order herbals that come from god only knows where, probably oversees, when I can support our local Helena Apothecary. And I get to be a part of a whole network of wonderful people here in Helena that seriously value the health of their bodies, families, and larger community. Wild Willow is awesome! I’m in for the long haul.” (J.S.)
