Besides their own farms, Young Living Oils pride itself in only sourcing high-quality oils from carefully chosen corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers.

Oil Farming

From the Dalmatia aromatic farm and distillery in Croatia to the Whispery Springs farm in Mona, Utah, in the USA, farmers plant, harvest and distil with great care and dedication.

Likewise, farmers producing these oils take great care during every stage, from seed to seal, to ensure the highest-grade oils.

Young Living oils and their producers are working closely together. The process of distilling oil starts way before planting the seeds.

They carry out all sort of tests to measure from the air quality to the water and soil before planting any seeds in a new farm. The quality of these elements plays an essential role in the quality of oil produced.

After all the testing and the results are available, Living Oils will determine which botanicals will thrive best on a specific farm. Only then will the planting of seeds commence.

The aim is to ensure that all the conditions are optimum for planting specific plants to ensure good yields.
