Like Mountains works with female wild harvesters and outgrowers, who grow or wild harvest organic indigenous and invasive essential oil materials. They provide them with a secure market for their product at a fair price, distill the oil and then find consistent markets for these environmentally-kind and fair oils. Like Mountains also produces its own organic oils.

Key activities include production, harvesting, distilling, marketing, and sales. Its customers are eco-conscious and health-orientated individuals who want to spend their money on sustainable products, as well as businesses with a similar customer profile.
