At the Simiane-la-Rotonde farm, true Young Living lavender flourishes next to struggling native French lavender. ONE OF THE most unique aspects of the Young Living brand is our proprietary Seed to Seal® process, which guides how we cultivate and distill our botanicals to produce our essential oils. It all starts with the botanicals we carefully select to cultivate, from Idaho blue spruce trees growing in pristine Idaho wilderness to our signature lavender from France. When Gary started his St. Maries farm in 1992, he wanted to ensure that this pristine Idaho farmland would offer the best conditions for growing our botanicals; so he aggressively tilled in several tons of nutrients, gradually
would grow. Since that time, this lavender crop has been thriving in our picturesque fields in Idaho. 2013 brought a challenging situation in Provence. Due to a drought, the lavender crop throughout the region wasn’t thriving. When Gary visited the farm and saw the struggling fields of lavender, he decided to bring the lavender seeds from the St. Maries farm back to the Simiane-la-Rotonde farm, creating a full circle from where this heirloom seed began its journey. In addition, the workers at the Simiane-la-Rotonde farm have responded to changes in climate by irrigating the lavender fields. This approach has yielded such tremendous success that other farmers in the region are now following suit.
