About Our Co-op

What better place for British Columbia's first aromatic farm co-op than the 'warm land' of Vancouver Island.  We are located in the idyllic Cowichan Valley, where rolling farmland and towering coastal forests intersect. This unique relationship between field and forest creates the ideal environment for our members to grow, harvest and process organic aromatic crops and conifer branches into therapeutic-grade essential oils.

We are a community-based cooperative that practices sustainable aromatic plant management and ethical production of organic essential oils. We have formed a rich collective of expert knowledge and quality resources by bringing together organic growers, expert distillers, health practitioners, value-based businesses, and supporters of locally produced organics.

Our members mentor each other and work together to cultivate the best organic aromatics, harvest sustainably and teach new distillers the artisan craft of steam distillation. We will also provide a variety of workshops and demonstrations to help educate the public on the distillation process and the health benefits of organic essential oil products and services.

Co-op Fact:
Cooperatives provide education and training for their members; work toward the sustainable development of their communities; and provide goods and services that would otherwise be unavailable.
