Welcome to a fascinating addition to the New Directions operations. Nestled on over 400 acres, the plantation is a short 15 minute drive from the heart of Byron Bay shopping centre. Be treated to the magical surroundings of the Bay whilst also observing and participating in the harvest and distillation of essential oils.

The New Directions Farm is certified ISO 9001 - 2000 with the capacity to manufacture pharmaceutical grade essential oils to the highest quality standards. The storage, packaging and distribution of oils also comply with ISO 9001 - 2000 accreditation and International Standards. Extensive experience, research, commitment to quality and selection of plant materials ensure only top quality essential oils are distilled.

The farm is also a valuable learning experience. To achieve an understanding of our native plants and the distillation of essential oils, New Directions will soon be conducting educational courses and weekend retreats to learn about the wonderful aromas and properties of Australian native plants and the process of harvesting and distillation of essential oils. Bush walking, fishing and swimming are also other recreational facilities available on the farm for all to enjoy within this pristine environment.

The selection of native oil-bearing plants you will encounter are endless!!! The farm presently produces commercial quantities of Aniseed Myrtle oil (Backhousia anisata), Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), Lemon Scented Tea Tree oil (Leptospermum sp.), Lemon Myrtle oil (Backhousia citriodora), Eucalyptus Australiana oil (Eucalyptus radiata), etc. Take the opportunity to also sample these plants and create your own personalised bottle of essential oil.
New Directions invites you come along on the educational journey whilst also experiencing the vibrant colours, stimulating scents and the soothing sounds of New Directions Byron Bay farm. It will relax your mind, delight your senses and surely uplift the spirit.
