The Okinawa Farm is located on the island of Okinawa and specializes in the cultivation of shell ginger, long used in traditional Okinawan medicine. The farm lies at the foot of subtropical mountains within an untouched landscape filled with incredible biodiversity and unrivaled, high-quality soil.
Prior to the purchase of the Okinawa Farm property, the soil was tested for more than 350 chemical components and heavy metals to ensure that the shell ginger grown on this unique Japanese shell ginger farm would be pristine and free from contamination.
Dr. Je Tae Woo, the heart of the Okinawa Farm’s operations and a leading shell ginger researcher, is hard at work establishing a laboratory where scientists will conduct a variety of research on the properties of Shell Ginger essential oil, as well as perform the rigorous quality testing on site that defines our Seed to Seal® quality commitment.
The Young Living farm team is actively creating partnerships with the Okinawa government, neighboring universities, and the local community to create systems that will ensure the farm contributes to the Seed to Seal values of conservation, reforestation, regenerative agriculture, and economic development of the area.

The limestone cliffs of Oman’s Dhofar Mountains provide the perfect environment for the frankincense tree to grow, and Young Living is the first and only company in the world to obtain permission to distill and export Omani
Sacred Frankincense oil
and bring it into the Western world. The

Kalipay Coconut Farm
The Kalipay Coconut Farm is located in the lush, tropical landscape of the Philippines. Kalipay provides Young Living with our main source of coconut oil. We chose Kalipay because it shares YL’s passion for giving back and supports communities by donating a portion of its profits every year to help fight generational poverty through education, leadership, and technology scholarship programs. The Kalipay Coconut Farm also uses green chemistry, a new discipline that helps to use resources efficiently and eliminate waste in the production process.
