About the distiller: The distiller I work with has worked to form a small network of cooperatives employing local villagers all over the area so they can share the work of cultivating and harvesting the plants, depending on the season. This allows for more plants to be cared for, more harvesting to be done, and more essential oil to be produced. This in turn then makes it possible for the people to sell more products and raise the villagers and their villages economic status.
