Young Living Harvests Balsam Fir

January 8, 2010

Young Living Essential Oils is currently harvesting Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea) in northern Idaho, a few miles south of the Canadian border. The harvested fir will be used to make Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ Balsam Fir (Idaho) essential oil.

Present at the harvest are Gary Young, Young Living founder and president, along with several Young Living corporate staff members and independent distributors who’ve volunteered their time to brave knee-deep snow and below freezing temperatures to ensure that Young Living’s balsam fir essential oil meets the stringent Young Living Therapeutic Grade standard.

Gary and Young Livings’s hands-on approach to harvesting essential oils sets Young Living apart from other companies. Not only does Young Living ensure that the purest, most potent essential oils are harvested and distilled on its own farms, its sourcing specialists also routinely visit indepdendent suppliers to ensure the quality of Young Living essential oils.
