LEHI, Utah<\/span>,\u00a0Nov. 8, 2018<\/span>\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Young Living Essential Oils, the world leader in essential oils, announced today that the Gihndagun (pronounced Gihn-dah-gun) Farm in Tatham,\u00a0Australia<\/span>, will become the company’s newest partner farm. Gihndagun\u2014which means “respect the earth” in Aboriginal Australian\u2014will provide\u00a0Young Living<\/span>\u00a0with Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) essential oil, one of the most widely used and extensively researched essential oils. Tea Tree can be used for everything from home cleaning solutions to skin care.<\/p>\n

The Gihndagun Farm, located near a small town 137 miles south of\u00a0Brisbane<\/span>, is\u00a0Young Living’s<\/span>\u00a0third partner farm in\u00a0Australia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Young Living<\/span>\u00a0is the only essential oils company to have its own farms. By sourcing 100 percent of its oils from its corporate farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal\u00ae<\/sup>-certified suppliers,\u00a0Young Living<\/span>\u00a0has total visibility of the production of its oils\u2014from seeding and cultivating to harvesting and distilling.<\/p>\n

“Wherever Young Living puts down roots, it’s important that we’re partnering with the local community and tapping into their knowledge of botanicals,” said\u00a0Lauren Walker<\/span><\/b>, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Young Living Essential Oils. “We’re thrilled to join forces with this family company, which has more than 20 years of farming experience and puts skill and thought into every step of the Tea Tree oil production process. Just like\u00a0Young Living<\/span>, they are dedicated to sustainable growing practices, socially conscious principles, and the highest quality of essential oil production.”<\/p>\n

The Gihndagun Farm boasts 100 acres of rich soil that is cultivated with all-natural tree biomass, wood chips, and naturally derived fertilizer. Crops are nourished with irrigation water, which is captured and reused. The farm proudly upholds the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association’s Code of Practice and is Halal certified.<\/p>\n

To help achieve these rigorous standards, the Gihndagun Farm’s Tea Tree oil is tested at the nearby Southern Cross University Plant Science (SCPS) lab, which is globally recognized for its essential oils program, before being sent to\u00a0Young Living’s<\/span>\u00a0labs for additional testing. In fact, two SCPS faculty are also members of the International Organization for Standardization’s essential oil committee.<\/p>\n

All aspects of the Gihndagun Farm’s farming process\u2014from planting to distillation\u2014are monitored and maintained in partnership with quality control practices and testing. An independent audit also ensures that all essential oils produced meet\u00a0Young Living’s<\/span>\u00a0strict Seed to Seal quality commitment.<\/p>\n

As the world leader in essential oils and a renowned essential oils distiller,\u00a0Young Living<\/span>\u00a0is continually improving its farms and global partnerships while staying dedicated to the Seed to Seal quality commitment.\u00a0Young Living<\/span>\u00a0is committed to creating pure, high-quality essential oils and products through environmentally conscious methods.<\/p>\n
