The Verb Is Herb – Easthampton

A plan hosted by the City of Easthampton captures the store at a difficult moment: during the COVID-19 crisis, The Verb Is Herb anticipated opening on May 25, 2020, under a revised plan responding to the governor’s emergency order. The document proposed preorder-and-reservation-only customer queuing and curbside transactions. That is a historical plan, not proof those opening arrangements occurred or remain in force. In fact, the current Google listing marks curbside pickup and delivery as unavailable. The contrast is the clearest practical lesson here: old pandemic documents explain the planned launch, but today’s service options should be checked against current listings before a trip.

The retailer’s menu page currently lists pickup, cash, debit with a $3.50 fee, and an ATM with a $3.50 fee. It also lists a three-hour limit after the scheduled pickup time before a preorder is put away. These ordering terms can change, so confirm them on the menu page before placing an order.

Google Routes estimates the drive to Holyoke Mall at 8.35 miles and 14 minutes and the drive to The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art at 11.93 miles and 20 minutes. Both are traffic-unaware driving estimates, not live traffic. Closer to the storefront, the retailer describes the shop as steps from the shops and artisans of the Cottage Street Cultural District.
