About our ti tree Farm we offer you the quality of Australian Wild Harvest ti tree Oil Melaleuca alternifolia which is above the standards set down by the orthorities. We own our australian native wild organic ti tree farm so we know you are buying only the best oil you can buy our standards we work under are higher than any stanrards set down by the authorities. Location Australia Northern Rivers NSW.
Jenbrook Farm’ (1147 acres) is strategically located in the heart of this harsh environmental wilderness and is the largest freehold ‘NATIVE AUSTRALIAN WILD HARVEST ORGANICALLY CERTIFIED FARM’ in the world. Organic accreditation has been held with the certifying body NASAA for over 10 years.
SEED BANK – Jenbrook Farm retains the greatest number of ‘mother seed tree’ in the world. Thousands of seed trees have been strategically left in wetland areas to ensure the botanical species does not become ‘an endangered species population.’
Carbon dating of pollen taken from excavations to a depth of 4.3m in wetlands at Jenbrook Farm, scientifically proved the botanical species Melaleuca alternifolia has grown in an unbroken chain for over 36,000 plus years in this location. For over 100 years, Jenbrook Farm has produced the finest therapeutic grade oil in the world. Long term distillation ensures all compounds are extracted to a maximum level to meet company specifications set above international standards. Careful hand harvesting ensured the oil produced is ‘100% Pure’ and is not contaminated by the inclusion of chemicals or foreign vegetation that may cause skin irritation.‘BUSH OIL’ was the initial term used in the early pioneer days when bush-men harvested and distilled the oil in the ‘wild’ or forest areas of Northern NSW. Thus the trade name ‘THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH OIL CO.’ was adopted and is the current brand logo used by Spectrum for its ti tree Oil range of products.
The establishment of plantations outside the ‘Bungawalbyn Valley’ severely damaged the reputation of ‘Bush Oil’. Plantations focused on huge turnover production, cutting the operational costs by mechanical harvesting and short term distillation. The use of fertilizers, weedicides and irrigation created a vastly different environmental chemistry and in some cases altered or varied the level of components in the oil. Original ‘Bush’ ti tree Oil processed by long term distillation was clearly identified as the most complicated ‘essential oil’ in the world, 100% pure and containing hundred of components, most of which have never been identified and named. Now, international standards set by the authorities only include 15 components, choosing to ignore minor trace compounds that either don’t exist or left out due to poor or short term distillation. In our view, if an essential oil is claimed to be ‘100% pure’ it should contain all components in the oil and should not contain components extracted from foreign vegetation or other contamination.
Plantation style oil promotions were quick to bad mouth ‘Bush Oil’ and the traditional harvesting and distillation methods that may have appeared crude. However, it is curious to note, for over a century the true efficacy accepted by health authorities around the world was based on ‘hand harvested bush oil distilled in it’s own natural environment’ long before plantations were considered. Scientists involved in genetic engineering and cross pollination have failed to produce trees that out perform those grown naturally on Jenbrook Farm. There is a strong opinion expressed by botanists, the species Melaleuca alternifolia is a hybrid, developed from other Melaleuca species to withstand the elements that exist in this harsh but delicate environment. Further, it was unlikely seedling planted outside the ‘Bungawalbyn Valley Basin’ would not retain their true botanical species in a sustainable situation over a long period of time.
Dedicated to this theory and belief, the principals of this organization have committed to the maintenance and preservation of ‘Jenbrook Farm’ in its natural ecological chemistry for future generations.
