A visit to Bottom Farm

Today two of our chefs, Joe and Anthony, paid a visit to Bottom Farm to see Duncan Farrington and have a look round. They had a really interesting day and came back with a sample of Duncan's new product (which launches next week, so I'd better not tell you what it is just yet).

Duncan showed them round the farm and demonstrated the machinery used in producing his Mellow Yellow rapeseed oil. His huge enthusiasm for his work and his product is what has enabled Duncan's business to grow in the way it has. He now produces around 8,000 bottles a week. It is great to work with local suppliers and products. But it is even better to get an understanding of how the product is made and where it comes from.
