Young Living Essential Oils President Leads Winter Harvest
January 16, 2012
The harvest is a unique, annual tradition for Young Living leaders and distributors
SALT LAKE CITY—January 16, 2011—Young Living, the world leader in essential oils, begins its annual Winter Harvest event at its farms in northern Idaho this week. The balsam fir trees, which will be harvested and processed by a passionate volunteer staff led by Young Living Essential Oils Founder and President D. Gary Young, will be used to produce the highest-quality balsam fir essential oil.
The company’s dedication and hands-on approach to harvesting essential oils is what sets Young Living apart. This unique method will be applied at the 2012 Winter Harvest, as volunteers join company leadership January 9–February 4 in St. Maries and Highland Flats, Idaho.
During the spring another staff of volunteers will gather to carefully replant balsam seedlings to replace the harvested trees. Volunteers find these experiences so rewarding that they often participate in both harvest and replanting events.
The harvesters will brave knee-deep snow and below-freezing temperatures to ensure that Young Living’s balsam fir essential oil meets the stringent Young Living standard. Live horse teams will be deployed to help minimize environmental impact. In addition, strict attention will be paid to Young Living’s Seed to Seal® process by carefully attending to every detail—from the seeds sown to the plants harvested—in order to ensure that Young Living continues to offer the purest, most potent essential oils available.
Essential oils, known as nature’s living energy, are extracted from aromatic plant sources and are highly concentrated and potent. They are used for aromatherapy, massage therapy, emotional health, personal care, nutritional supplements, household solutions, improving wellness, and much more.
