Why Young Living is the World Leader in Essential Oils

One of the questions we ask people when they are using essential oils is, where are your companies farms? There are a few companies out there that do grow their own plants and distill their own oils but they are few and far between.    If a company that is selling essential oils, ask them about their farms.  If they don't have farms then they are simply essential oil brokers.   They are buying oils from other people and who know really what is in those oils, there could be anything.  

With Young Living we do have our own farms and I am going to include them in this post.  Young Living has their own farms and they do their own distilling, that is one reason why they are the World Leader when it comes to essential oils.  

Pay attention to the farm in Ecuador, they government there is so immpressed with what is being done in their country, they have donated additional land vital to the farming process.  This land includes 49.4210 acres on the river and 1235.526 acres in the Andes.  That is in addition to the already 2, 010 acres.  There are four distilleries that operate 24 hours a day.  That is very impressive. 

Our newest farm is in Oman, where the Sacred Frankincense comes from, Young Living is the only company that has the permission to acquire Frankincense that comes from Oman.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, if they do they are not telling the truth.  Here again in Oman we have a distillery and produce our own Frankincense.   It is not bought through a broker which most who sell Frankincense is.   You need to know that Frankincense is one of the most adulterated oils out there besides Lavender.

St. Maries, Idaho, USA Prior to 1992 when Gary Young purchased them, these 200 acres of pristine farmland had never been plowed or subjected to chemicals, pesticides, or fertilizers of any kind. The pure soil and climate make St. Maries an ideal location for harvesting lavender, melissa, and tansy.

Whispering Springs Farm in Mona, Utah, USA Extending nearly 1,600 acres, the Whispering Springs Farm is home to the largest privately owned essential oil distillery in the world. Many different plants are harvested here for both our world market and for research.

	Highland Flats Tree Farm in Naples, Idaho, USA Since 2000, Highland Flats has hosted our annual winter harvest, where distributors can join us in harvesting balsam fir, Western red cedar, and pine trees. Distributors may also participate in the farm’s annual spring reforestation project to replace the harvested trees.

Simiane-la-Rotonde, France Known for its rolling hills and farms of fragrant lavender, the region of Provence, France, is home to the only American-owned lavender farm in the country. This farm produces lavender, lavandin, rosemary, and clary sage.

Salalah, Oman In 2010, Gary acquired farm acreage in Oman for cultivating Boswellia sacra. Now, for the first time in centuries, this precious oil is being distilled in Oman, and Young Living is the first and only company in the world to obtain permission to export it to the Western world.
