Beginning with Gary Young’s first efforts on a quarter acre lot, quality has been an integral part of Young Living’s operations. More than 20 years later, Young Living owns and operates four botanical farms in France, Ecuador, and the United States. These farms provide an ongoing source for oils that are in critically short supply around the world.
Young Living Essential Oils has decades of experience identifying the correct species of plant, cultivating in optimal conditions, and knowing the precise time to harvest each crop. The company selects species that produce the most active and widest array of constituents and plants them on chemical-free farmlands in carefully nourished soil.
YLTG means that every essential oil Young Living distills or sources has the highest naturally occurring constituents to maximize the desired therapeutic effect.
Today, Gary Young oversees the cultivation of rare oils at Young Living Essential Oils’ newest farm, Finca Botanica Aromatica, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Here Gary searches for new discoveries in natural plant remedies and partners with indigenous tribes and local governments to foster a global community of healing and discovery and bring new essential oils to the world.
In 2009, one of Utah's most spectacular events, Lavender Days expanded from a two-day festival to a full seasonal celebration of the lavender harvest. If the fields are purple at the farm, stop by and learn about lavender essential oil, take a free tour of the distillery, and pick your own bouquet of fresh lavender.
Lavender lovers can also look forward to a new experience at the farm for the 2010 season. Young Living is expanding and enhancing the visitor's center and improving the tour area in the distillery. This creates year-round opportunity to educate visitors about the benefits of Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils and introduce them to Young Living: the world leader in essential oils.
