Duchess Farms
Rapeseed Oil and heritage flour, Arable; Hertfordshire
​
In 2012 Oscar Harding saw an opportunity to make something out of the rapeseed that grows on his family's farm. That year Duchess Oil was born.
Then Max Ruddle came on board and the business bloomed. The duo retail oil all over London and Hertfordshire selling through the likes of Farmdrop, Foodchain and Natoora.
In 2018 Abi Aspen joined the mix to head up the grain and flour section. She finds heritage seed, grows them on the farm, mills them and sells the flour. Each year the farm turns a bit more arable land to low input grains.
​
Growing a variety of cereals, dabbling in old varieties and creating local business opportunities through the likes of horticulture, Duchess Farm is all about experimenting and exploring. The young team are open to new ideas in order to regenerate, rejuvenate and reimagine food and farming.
