I had the pleasure of being helped by Brita today while purchasing some resin, sweetgrass and smoking blend… it is awesome to have a quality apothecary resource in our community!
-terry james
I love this place, and I am so looking forward to my destress tea and my bath salts. The Rose absolute, Jasmine absolute and frankincense essential oils are amazing resources during these chaotic and stressful times. A sweet resource for every feminine goddess who wants to nurture and restore for a while.
-Denise Boehler
These people are amazing. I’ve never been inside the place, but I recently started ordering from them during quarantine. everything always ships within a couple days. Both times I’ve ordered so far, they’ve been kind and have included free coupons and healing rocks with my package. They seem to be very appreciative of their customers and very passionate about the plants that they sell. I actually NEVER EVER write reviews on ANYTHING, but these guys really deserved a good review. Please support this business!!!!
-Jason McNulty
I always love stopping by this shop when I’m in Fort Collins! The products are always perfectly curated, the staff is accommodating and friendly, and I always leave with quality goodies! Definitely a must-stop shop!
-Allyn Harris
Not only was the staff able to help me out immensely, I also love the products I bought. The restful sleep herbal tincture helps me get to sleep, especially when I have a lot on my mind and have a hard time shutting it down. I also bought the True Throat Chakra spray because that’s the chakra that tends to get blocked for me. It’s smell is soo good and it really helps me focus when meditating.
-Lauren Robinson
I went in to get calming tea for a break up and the showed me a great blend. They also made me an essential oil roller of a personal blend they made for me. They gave me a small rose quartz too. So helpful and sweet!

Love love love this place!!! They carry a very wide range of herbs that you can’t find anywhere else in Fort Collins. Laura is very knowledgeable and if you need anything they don’t have, she can help you order it. All the herbs are organically sourced with some being from local growers. Again love this place and would recommend it to anyone who is getting started in herbalism or has been involved in it for years.

What a beautiful experience! This shop has it all! From oils, to tinctures, to homemade salves and deodorants, and HUGE variety of bulk herbs. I had a palo Santo oil made for me on the floor. The staff is thoroughly knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful! I thought the prices were fair. Looking forward to attending some of the classes.
-Celia Mansfield
Golden Poppy is awesome! I had an essential oil blend that was no longer sold and I simply wanted to reuse my own container. They obliged and replicated the scent. I have also taken other empty containers to fill and they do it. It’s a great place for local, natural, zero-waste solutions to aromatherapy, tea, lotions, and so much more.

-Kerri Pestana
After suffering with digestive and allergy issues that made me very fatigued for months & not getting any help from Drs I visited the Golden Poppy and worked with Brita to develop a plan to help my gut heal. She asked a lot of questions about my food habits and suggested some herbs based on my symptoms and suggested some other things that might help. After being on the teas for a few weeks I felt an improvement. I still can’t eat certain foods but I am able to enjoy more foods than I could before & I feel more energetic, clear headed, and balanced throughout the day than I ever have.
-Laura F

-Christopher Beden
I have suffered from stage 4 endometriosis for a year and a half.
Out of curiosity I went into the store to see if anything would help. The ladies were so fantastic !!! They showed me so much stuff to help!
I ended up purchasing the “Ache away” CBD infused oil.i have used it a few times in the last week for minor aches and cramps. Just a few moments ago I had the worst endo pain I’ve ever had. By far… I put on the oil and within literally SECONDS the pain was completely gone. I did not, could not and still having a hard time believing it. This stuff is INCREDIBLE! if there is a way that I can order it through the webiste I will be buying a TON MORE! I’m also a part of a worldwide endometriosis group. I will definitely be putting the word out there. This stuff is a life saver! Thank you !!!
