Downtown Easton · Family owned 35 years
Walls of organic bulk herbs. More than 75 teas, including the thirty medicinal house blends folks drive across the Shore for. Genuine handmade Native American jewelry. All inside an old country store on North Harrison Street.
For 35 years this shop has been the kind of place that barely exists anymore: organic herbs weighed out of labeled jars, teas blended and bagged by hand, jewelry with the maker's mark still on it, and an owner who knows where every last thing came from. Locals call it the old country store, and that is exactly the point: the one true trading post Easton MD has held onto while the chains came and went.
What you'll find inside
Black, green, white, and oolong teas, many organic, kept separate from the shop's own thirty medicinal blends: Ez-Sleep, Energy, Female Balance, and more, bagged by hand to take home loose. Both full lists, with prices, live on the teas page.
See the Teas & PricesAn entire wall of jarred bulk herbs, most of them organic, culinary and traditional, plus salts, peppers, and spices, weighed out the old way. Buy a pinch or a pound instead of a plastic shaker.
See the HerbsGenuine handmade Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi work: sterling silver and real turquoise in cuffs, rings, and pendants. Cases full of it.
See the JewelryHandmade soaps, woven blankets, dreamcatchers, hand-carved pieces, and flutes. The kind of finds that make people say they had no idea this was here.

The old country store
Nothing here is shrink-wrapped behind glass for looks. The teas come out of labeled jars and into a bag with your name for it on the front, and when the jar opens you will enjoy the aroma. The herb wall is sold by weight. The jewelry cases are full of handmade pieces, many of them one of a kind, and every one has an answer to "where did this come from?"
That is what 35 years in the same town buys: a store built on regulars, word of mouth, and a 4.8-star Google rating earned one visitor at a time.
Thirty-five years on the Shore
Justamere has been part of Easton for 35 years, long enough to watch downtown change around it while the shop stayed stubbornly, wonderfully itself. It grew the way good stores do: one jar, one blend, one carefully chosen piece at a time, with regulars carrying the word farther than any advertisement ever could.
That long memory is the difference you feel at the counter. Ask about a tea and you hear how it sells in winter versus summer. Ask about a bracelet and you learn what to look for in the silverwork. Ask for something the shop does not carry and you get an honest answer instead of a shrug, and usually a suggestion for what will do the job instead.
It is also simply a pleasant place to be. The shop smells like tea and cedar, the shelves reward slow looking, and nobody hovers. Ten quiet minutes here beats an hour of scrolling for the same things online, and what you carry out has a story attached. Downtown deserves shops like this one, and shops like this one deserve the visit; the two have kept each other going for three and a half decades now. Ready to see it? Visit Justamere Trading Post in Easton and judge the shelves for yourself.
First visit? Here is how to do it right.
Come in unhurried. Start at the tea and herb walls in the back and read the labels; the names alone are half the tour. Point out anything that catches your eye and it will be weighed and bagged for you. Then give the jewelry cases a slow pass, and finish with the blankets, soaps, and gift shelves on your way to the front.
If you are shopping for something specific, skip the wandering and just ask. And if you want certainty before you drive, the phone gets answered by the person who runs the place: (410) 745-2227. Plenty of visits to the tea wall and the bulk herbs in Easton start with exactly that call.
