Event Details
Join us for four weeks of harvesting opportunities at the Young Living farms in Highland Flats, Idaho. At the harvest you can expect to adopt a lifestyle of hard work and deep connection with the earth—a lifestyle that is quickly vanishing from our modern world. Enjoy the gorgeous winter landscape of our farm as we work side-by-side to harvest, process, prepare, and distill our delicate botanicals into the purest essential oils.
Year after year our harvests have proven to be a source of tremendous growth, learning, and connection for our participants, who walk away with an increased appreciation for the power of nature and Young Living’s commitment to essential oils.
The 2012 Winter Harvest will be a truly unforgettable event. We hope to see many harvest veterans and new faces this year as we work together and renew our desire to share the message of Young Living with the entire world.
Space is limited and will fill up quickly, so please do not wait to register!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What airport do I fly into?
A: Spokane, Washington
Q: Will there be transportation to and from the airport?
A: Yes there will be a shuttle service provided by the farm, 3 times daily. A time schedule will be published on December 5. This a change from the website because of several requests. This will also limit the number of vehicles on either farm.
Q: Will there be shuttle service from the hotels to the farms?
A: Yes, there will be 1 shuttle to the farm in the mornings, and 1 shuttle to the hotels in the evenings.
Q: Is there a hotel near the airport for early or late arrivals?
A: Yes, at travelers expense. The Wyndham hotel at the Spokane Airport is as easy as a walk across the street. This hotel is right across from the entrance to the airport.
Q: Will there be a published list of attendees?
A: On or about December 5, a list of scheduled attendees will be published along with assigned lodging. This will not be a finalized list as far as registration is concerned. Registration will remain open until December 15.
Q: Are meals included?
A: Yes they are. However, on the registration form there is a space for listing specific dietary requirements and/or food allergies so that care can be taken to accommodate you as much as possible.
Q: What can be expected for temperatures and weather?

Q: What type of clothing should I bring?
A: Layered clothing is always best when being in cold temperatures. This allows for layers to be shed as the body warms up during physical activity, and allows for layers to put on when it becomes cooler. Warm work gloves, a beanie cap, insulated and water proof boots, bibs or coveralls are optional, however, if working in the forested area they can protect you from damaging clothing.
