It's a Boo-tiful Time of Year!

From pretty princesses to playful pirates, the Young Living Lavender Farm was full of costumed characters at our first-ever Fall Festival, which took place on Saturday, October 27th. Trick-or-treaters were excited and delighted as they strolled through our Western Town getting plenty of treats (including toothbrushes donated by a local dentist, Dr. Trapnell).

Everyone had a boo-tiful time enjoying outdoor activities such as paddleboat rides, climbing the rock wall, pony rides, a wagon tour, and lawn games that included a giant Twister game, parachute game, and much more!

For those who stayed later in the evening, the campfires kept us warm while a local folk band, Brushfire, kept us well entertained. It was absolutely heartwarming to see so many families enjoying the many outdoor activities, delicious food, and entertainment.

Scentsational Skin

A few weekends ago, a friend and I decided to visit a spa in St. George, Utah. We had a great time and left there feeling totally renewed! As experts (and spa goers) have come to realize, spas, through their use of aromatherapy, are helping people achieve overall well being.

Nanette Downer, the Director of Education at the SkinScience Institute in Salt Lake City, understands how valuable essential oils are in treatments that estheticians perform, and that's why she includes a field trip to the Young Living Lavender Farm as part of her esthetics curriculum.

Her students recently toured the farm and learned about the many uses of Young Living's therapeutic-grade essential oils. Instructor Angelene Hodgson said, "At the school, we use the essential oils during our facial treatments. We are focused on helping the client feel comfortable and relaxed, both of which you can do with essential oils."

Angelene's favorite oil for relaxation:

Young Living's lavender essential oil.

Fall Festival on the Farm

Fall at the Young Living Lavender Farm means cooler weather and a change of colors—blue, to be exact. You see, although the leaves may be changing from green to red, and Young Living still proudly waves its purple flag, the farm gets painted blue with Brigham Young University students. (Go Cougars!)

Each semester, a few extremely talented students from Dr. Doug Nelson’s Recreation Management class have the opportunity to plan an outdoor event at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah. Through this joint venture between BYU and Young Living, students learn about Young Living’s natural farming practices and its production of premium essential oils, as well as how to host an outdoor community event.


The students have planned a Fall Festival on the Farm, which will take place on Saturday, October 27, 2007. Click here for more details about this event. This fun-filled event will bring families together from around the community to enjoy outdoor activities and fabulous food.

Young Living’s Founder and President, Gary Young, encourages all to visit Young Living’s beautiful farms. “The Young Living Lavender Farm is a place where families can be strengthened through meaningful recreational time together, a place where individuals can step outside of their busy lives and reconnect with nature, and a place where families can learn about the wonderful gifts nature has provided us with—essential oils.”
