Lavender Farm Day was Filled with Fun!

We had close to 3,000 guests at the Lavender Farm on Friday for Convention, and it was absolutely fabulous! We loved having you here, and we want to thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness. We hope you'll visit us often!

Farm Day began early (the buses arrived an hour and a half earlier than expected, which caught us a bit off guard!), but the cool morning breeze was a lovely way to introduce guests to our exclusive farm oil blend Garden Breeze. This floral blend was created to remind visitors of the fragrances enjoyed while walking through our herb gardens.

We also offered wagon tours, distillery tours, presentations by Gary Young at our new exhibit of early distillation in France, Animal Oils Training (Raindrop) presentation by Gary Young, Bath Salt and Lavender Foot Scrub booth, delicious shaved ice and sorbets with Young Living products, fabulous food and entertainment, activities for the kids such as the Lavender Fairy Tea Party and Knights Tale Party, rock climbing, pony rides, paddleboat rides, and so much more!

My favorite moments were spent watching ladies sitting back and relaxing as they received a soothing foot scrub with our new lavender products, seeing Mary Young's mother perform on the stage playing and singing her heart out, listening to Gary Young as he shared fascinating facts about the early distillation methods in France and the development of his lavender farms, hearing the sounds of children laughing and playing at the parties, reconnecting with so many friends, and hearing comments from our guests such as, "We've had such a wonderful time here. This farm is absolutely beautiful. Gary must be so proud!"

I hope you'll share your thoughts and favorite moments from Farm Day with us. You may even win a bottle of Lavender Peppermint essential oil if you post your comment before June 21st! I'll be posting photos soon, so be sure to check back often on our blog. And for those of you who had the chance to enjoy the cool NingXia Red shaved ice and essential oil sorbets, I will also be posting those recipes soon!

What's Not To Love?

Welcome to my new office—the Young Living Lavender Farm! Isn’t it gorgeous? I get to spend part of my work week at the Mona farm, where I’ll be planning events (Lavender Days 2008 is only 289 days away, can you believe it?) and working with Gary and Mary Young and our marketing team on developing new products that will be available from the farm. So be sure to check often for new product offerings, product tips, recipes, and information about events on the Young Living Lavender Farm Web site.

As most of you know, our products are developed with therapeutic-grade essential oils and without harmful chemicals. When you visit the Young Living Lavender Farm, you really start to get a sense of what our mission is all about, as we honor our stewardship to champion nature’s living energy, essential oils.

I recently had the opportunity to take a little bit of “the farm” to our distributors who attended Young Living’s Annual Grand Convention in Washington DC. We had a display featuring the four farms that Young Living owns and operates, as well as a few products from our Lavender Farm in Mona that were available for sale. We sold out of our lavender products within minutes! I wasn’t at all surprised, because I know that people have come to trust the Young Living Lavender Farm as a source for the purest, highest quality products made with therapeutic-grade essential oils.


There is definitely plenty to love about the Young Living Lavender Farm—from the tranquil, breathtaking setting that visitors can enjoy year round, to the fabulous lavender products. I hope you’ll take a break and stop by to visit during the month of September—it’s absolutely delightful out here!
