Our second annual stop at Earth Wise General Store in Big Timber, Montana for a Strawberry Rhubarb…read morepie! It's becoming one of our favorite tradition. The pie is absolutely delicious! Not your favorite flavor? They have plenty to choose from. The store is just as adorable as ever, and we loved seeing the new sitting area. The friendly employees make every visit feel extra welcoming. Can't wait to stop again next year!

Really cute spot! I was expecting more of a general store with all sorts of items and such, but…read moreit's more a natural foods store. They have bulk oils and spices that look really good! They also have bulk natural cleaner, laundry detergent, shampoos, conditioners, hand soap and the like! They are super affordable and is a great idea! But the shining star is the smoothies! They are AMAZING. Go try one!! Can't wait to come again when I'm back in the area!

From the outside, you just see garden stakes and metal yard art, which she does purchase new…read more However, stepping inside you'll find a store packed from floor to ceiling, literally! You can spend hours, days, a lifetime in this store and still not see "everything". But that's the joy of visiting this place. It's very well organized and the owner is really friendly and helpful. She lets you shop and is always nearby if needed. She has an impeccable memory for details and knows her stuff! She can tell you about every trinket, every painting, every piece of furniture in that store. There are legit antiques, including large pieces of furniture, clocks, lamps and home decor. She also has a large array of vintage things like games, toys, and collectibles. The handmade display case at front was designed by her husband and holds shelves and shelves of wonderful costume jewelry. It's definitely worth the stop in Big Timber if you have a niche that needs scratching. No coins or metals though. She says that is a whole different category, of which she prefers not to meddle. :)

We stopped here on our way back to Billings and it was an absolute delight! The owner is so…read morefriendly, and the house cat was so sweet we didn't want to leave! They have a great mixture of antiques with sculptures and I couldn't recommend going there more. Absolutely wonderful.

I am traveling on business to Livingston, MT currently and didn't want to bring my brand new…read moreacoustic guitar with me. In advance of my trip, I located a music store in Livingston - Conley's, and sent them an email to see if it would be possible to rent a guitar until the end of September (likely how long I will be here). I received a response and they were indeed able to meet my rental requirements (particular type of pick, capo). I need to keep my calluses solid or I'll be rebuilding them when I finally get back home to CA! I was unable to make the original pickup on Sunday night, and the store is closed on Mondays. Despite this, the Conley family were in the store regardless and told me to swing by on Monday for pickup, as Mr. Conley would be traveling on Tuesday. When I arrived, the Conley's were warm and inviting. Ended up chatting and found out I'm here from the Bay Area and he would be traveling nearby. He enlightened me with his history of gigging in the Bay Area in the 70s, and it was just an authentically interesting and fun conversation. I told Mr. Conley I had been unable to explore Montana, and he suggested if I am still here when he returns, he would be happy to show me around! They are simply genuinely nice people, provided all my equipment at an amazing flat rate of $100, and were more accommodating than a dirty Californian would have expected out here! (Just kidding!) If you can, support the Conley's Music and Book store. They are wonderful and I'm so happy I was able to locate them. Now I just need to remember to return the guitar Thank you!!!!

Everything the local reader needs can be found around downtown Livingston and Conley's is a huge part of the hubbub. Friendly owners and staff, lots of knowledge, a very good selection of boooks with much of it newer. Huge variety of musical taste on CD. Staff is very quick to offer special order requests. Never had a single bad experience here.
