Duncan Farrington, our company Director was born and brought up on Bottom Farm in the beautiful Northamptonshire village of Hargrave. Following university, he joined his parents in the family business as a fourth-generation farmer, but it was soon evident that farming, driving tractors and growing crops alone was not going to sustain the family business for another four generations.

Returning to university he did research on rapeseed oil, a passion was awoken, which quickly turned into an obsession for the fantastic culinary properties and nutritional benefits packed in those tiny little seeds. Following years of research, Duncan launched Farrington’s Mellow Yellow® in 2005 as Britain’s first ‘seed to bottle’ cold pressed rapeseed oil.

Provenance remains as important as ever and with our fantastic team we ensure that the same passion, attention to detail and quality ingredients still goes into every bottle we make.
