「種子到密封」之 除雜草

Sharing from Young Living COO Jared Turner

當我們的精油成本被客戶視為「挑戰」時，我就喜歡把這個「挑戰」形容為 在不使用 除草劑 或其他 有毒化學品 的情況下，於我們全球的農場所需的工作量。
When the cost of our essential oils is seen as a challenge by our customers, I like to describe for them the work required to run farms around the world without using herbicides or other toxic chemicals.

我們猶他州Mona的薰衣草田，農夫用一雙手用心的除去田裏的雜草，每英畝花費大約12,000美元。
It costs us around $12,000 per acre to weed our Mona, Utah lavender fields by hand, using manual labor.

你知道其他公司用多少錢去「除雜草」嗎？是每英畝 60美元。噴灑廉價（和有毒）的 除草劑 是更快，更便宜的。
Do you know how much “weeding” costs other companies? $60.00 per acre. Spraying cheap (and toxic) herbicides is faster and much cheaper.

Grerchen的感想：
所以，我誠意邀請你參觀悠樂芳的農場。當你明白到「種子到密封」真正是怎麼的一回事，你就會珍惜手裏的每一瓶悠樂芳精油，更加不會覺得太貴了。
Gretchen’s thoughts:
Therefore, I sincerely invite you to visit Young Living’s farms. And when you understand what “Seed to Seal” really is, you will treasure each and every bottle of young living essential oils in your hands, and will not think of it as expensive anymore.
