Simiane-la-Rotonde Lavender Farm and Distillery
SIMIANE-LA-ROTONDE, FRANCE
Established in 1996
Young Living’s Simiane-la-Rotonde
Lavender Farm is located in charming Provence, a region of
France renowned for its beauty, fragrant lavender fields, and summer-long festivals. Because of
its history and breathtaking views, this farm has become a popular destination for essential oil
lovers, artists, and visitors looking to breathe in the captivating spirit of the special location.
LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
The farm understands the critical role bees play in agriculture by pollinating crops. That’s why the Simiane-la-Rotonde family incorporated safe and sustainable bee keeping practices such as keeping
them sugar free and leaving more than half their honey so they always have food. They also carefully
remove the bees so they aren’t harmed by the tractors at harvest time.

Golden Einkorn Farm
SAULT, FRANCE
Partner Since 2019
The Golden Einkorn Farm, located in the sunny fields of Sault, France, is one of Young Living’s
hand-selected producers of ancient einkorn grain, growing the low-maintenance crop and milling
the flour on site in its mill facilities.
This farm does everything possible to implement sustainable practices. It uses only rainwater irrigation on the naturally low-maintenance einkorn crops and fertilizes using organic matter like manure, plant compost, and leftover einkorn stems. Anything remaining from the einkorn flour milling process is used as feed for animals or as additional natural compost fertilizer, ensuring efficiency and sustainability.
Few farms in the world have worked as hard to integrate sustainable, environmentally responsible practices into the heart of their organizations. With its eco-friendly, sustainable practices, the Golden Einkorn Farm is a true steward of the picturesque fields and hills of Provence.

Dalmatia Aromatic Farm and Distillery
SPLIT, CROATIA
Established 2014
Dalmatia’s striking, and historic landscape reflects its
deep cultural roots and makes an ideal
home for the botanical helichrysum. Rocks were transplanted to this farm to replicate the
natural growing conditions of the previously wild
-
crafted plant. Not only was this farm founded
with the intention of
becoming a sustainable source for the popular Helichrysum oil, our
Dalmatia Aromatic Farm and Distillery has since continued to grow and cultivate even more
botanicals.
LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
The farm team built their own greenhouse,
allowing them to produce about 700
–
1,000 seedlings
twice a year. The farm team has also begun humus production, mixing distilled biomass with manure
and other organic compounds to improve the soil quality.

cistus in the Sierra Norte Nature Park. Their distillation process and zero-waste practices further our efforts to sustain the land and produce the highest-quality products straight from nature to
your home!

Bella Vista Farm
REGGIO CALABRIA, ITALY
Partner Since 2019
The Bella Vista Farm is a third-generation farm and cold-press facility located outside the city of Reggio Calabria, Italy – a region that produces most of the world’s Bergamot essential oil. Founded in the early 1930’s, the farm uses best practices to ensure Seed to Seal quality while helping Young Living keep up with the demand for this popular essential oil.
LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
The sunny climate of southern Italy is perfect for solar power. During the
off season, the buildings on the farm rely 100 percent on solar energy.
Calabria is not a wealthy region,
which is why the
Bella Vista Farm hires workers from nearby towns,
providing them with favorable working conditions and fair
pay. The citrus industry provides opportunities to these
people, who bring with them a rich knowledge of the land and its crops.
