We grow rosemary and rose geranium organically on our farm in the rolling hills of South Gippsland, Victoria. Rosemary and rose geranium are steam distilled to produce exquisite quality essential oils and hydrosols. Traditional copper stills are used drawing on ancient practises and knowledge. The result are Verbenone rich essential oils and mists, used for skin care, hair care and for gourmet cooking and drinking.
The oils and mists will hydrate and soften your skin, they are uplifting and grounding helping you to relax but stay focused. The rosemary elixir is a clean refreshing drink additive that is easy to digest and sugar free. In cooking the essence has a deep rounded flavour for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Hi my name is Bridget and I am the grower and distiller at ReDistil. I studied aromatheraphy in Melbourne in the 1990's. I am also an architect and an artist.
My passion lies in making places, environments and objects that continuously connect us to the natural world and remind us of the richness of this symbiotic relationship.
I grow and distil to ground myself and continuously feel connected and part of the ecological world. I am passionate about good quality oils and hydrosols. I share what I know through workshops as I would love to see many more good quality aromatherapy products produced in Australia.
I collect clay on the farm to make the necessary tools for daily life, mugs and bowls. I use wood from the trees in building and wool from the alpacas for keeping warm, whilst they also fertilise the rosemary and rose geranium.
My dream is to live simply in constant conversation with the elements and to continue to learn and experiment.
"Re is for remembering; to take care of yourself and allowing yourself the time to reflect, revive, re-energise, reconnect. Thereby being able to care of others."
I would like to acknowledge the Gunaikurnai and the Wurundjeri Peoples of the Kulin Nation, on whose land I live, work, and play. I pay my respects to all First nations peoples across the country and to continuing to work towards embedding the Uluru Statement from the Heart in the hearts of all Australians.
