      The start of Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm

      The Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm is an iconic lavender farm, not only to Young Living but also to the larger essential oils movement and the wellness community. Located a short drive from Young Living’s Global Headquarters in Lehi, Utah, this Mona, Utah, lavender farm is a center for new and innovative distillation methods, as well as home to events such as Lavender Day, the Fall Festival and Draft Horse Show, and more.

      In 1994, Young Living Founder D. Gary Young bought the original farmhouse and 160 acres of the property. He leased nearby acres over the next couple of years, purchasing most of it when he could. Today the Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm occupies 1,700 acres. Records in the farmhouse indicate that the original owners extracted their own essential oils from wild plants found on the property. Today the Young Living farm visitors center is located where the farmhouse once stood.

      Seed to Seal® quality commitment

      The farm crew tests Brix levels (a measurement of naturally occurring sugars), ambient temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and wind speed to determine the perfect time to harvest. As each batch of plant material is distilled, the resulting oil is tested in the farm’s on-site lab to ensure it meets Young Living’s Seed to Seal commitment to quality.

      Oil Highlight

      Lavender planting at this iconic Utah lavender farm starts in mid-April, while harvesting season starts early to mid-July. Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm workers plant lavender in a material that reduces weeds, retains moisture, and traps sunlight to keep the ground warm. A cover crop is also planted between the rows of lavender; this adds nutrients to the soil, reduces weed pressure, and creates biodiversity for pollinators . On average, one acre of lavender produces up to five liters of oil, which is a ratio of approximately 18 plants for every 15 ml bottle of oil.

      Our focus on conservation

      This farm honors Gary’s love for nature by implementing waste recycling and water circulation. Processed plant material is composted and used, and floral water—or hydrosol—is recycled and serves as dust control on the farm’s interior roads.

      As part of an ongoing reforestation effort, more than 20,000 oxygen-producing blue spruce seedlings have been planted at St. Maries, offsetting atmospheric carbon.


      Did you know?

      Sheep logo.

      The Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm in Mona uses sheep to weed the crops. Since sheep dislike lavender’s floral scent, they leave the crop and eat only the weeds.

      Small amounts of seeds are collected from every crop each year and are preserved in a climate-controlled storage area. This ensures every subsequent generation of lavender is as healthy as the last.

      The Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm in Mona is also a waystation for beautiful monarch butterflies, where they can rest and feed during their migration between Canada and Northern Mexico.

      The farm is home to a wide variety of animals, with all the manure from these animals mixed with the farm’s distilled plant material and composted.



      "One summer evening in 1995, Gary looked out over hundreds of acres of sagebrush and uncultivated farmland and with that visionary look in his eye, said to Mary, 'One day, this farm will be a worldwide destination welcoming thousands of visitors who are eager to learn about essential oils and Young Living’s amazing Seed to Seal story.'"
      –Mary Young, Young Living Co-Founder and CEO
