Young Living Farm in Guayaquil, Ecuador

Young Living chose Guayaquil, Ecuador, as the newest location for cultivating and harvesting plants to use in the distillation of essential oils that are in critically short supply around the world, such as helichrysum.

The Young Living Ecuador farm location was personally chosen by Gary because of its rich soil and continual growing season. Spanning over 2,200 acres, the farm currently produces Palo Santo trees, helichrysum, lemongrass, with more varieties being tested for fertility and high essential oil content every year.

The Ecuador farm houses the single largest single cooker in the western hemisphere with a 14,500 liter capacity. Implementing the same high-quality standards for distilling essential oils that he developed in North America, Gary is examining the beneficial properties of local native medicinal aromatic plants.


Gary Young and his family live on the Ecuador Farm to allow Gary to further his research on the therapeutic and healing properties of aromatic plants and to identify new plants for use in Young Living essential oils. Gary also oversees the entire production of essential oils, including the growing and distillation of the plants.



Through cultivation on the four Young Living farms, Young Living Essential Oils has mastered the creation of pure, potent essential oils. The company takes this knowledge around the world to co-op farms to certify that these farms’ growing processes meet Young Living’s strict quality standards.
