Our Distillation Sites
The Wild Harvest way is the old traditional way of distillation in Indonesia. At the source, on the farms, in some cases by the farmers themselves for distilling.
The distillations for Wild Harvest Indonesia were gifted to our farmers/distillers. This ensures they have a better income by producing oils at the source and for others as well.
All of our fuel for our systems are pre-approved by government sources in Indonesia.
We are not a factory turning out ordinary oils. We make sure our raw material is sun dried and then prepared by hand for the steaming process in our stainless steel kettles.
Our oils are stored in stainless steel containers we had made for proper handling.
Wild Harvest Indonesia has three locations within Indonesia from which we distil 9 essential oils.
Banten: Our first location started in 2018
-we currently distill Cove Bud(only the buds), Nutmeg and Patchouli Light.
-our boiler accommodates 4 stainless steal kettles
Garut: This location started in 2019
-it is from this location that we distill the only exclusive, LP 2.5 bar Vetiver essential oil in Indonesia.
-one of the best Vetiver oils in the world distilled by our farmer who has the distillation on his private property.
-two, 800 stainless steel kettles at this location dedicated to Vetiver only.
Sumatra:
-in the north of Sumatra, we distill two different Sandalwoods, Cajeput and Patchouli Dark
-our two Sandalwoods are comprised of trace wood and trace wood, root and heartwood
-trace wood is the wood that encases the heartwood and we use it to create a very nice Sandalwood oil, thus using as much of the tree as possible.
-after distillation, we dry the leftover in the sun, where it can then be used for incense.
Our oils made a appearance at the AIA(Alliance for International Aromatherapy) world convention In Nashville , September , 2024.
They were featured in 200 swag bags and part of a silent auction with the proceeds going to AIA.
We are happy to announce that we will be at the 2026 AIA conference in Hendersonville, NC ready to share our exquisite mastery of traditional Indonesian oils.
