Carrington Barns Farm, home of supernature cold pressed rapeseed oil, is a small, traditionally-run farm, which our family have been tenants of for five generations, since 1852.
Set amidst the beautiful Midlothian countryside, only eight miles south of Edinburgh, the rolling fields of Carrington Barns produce high quality crops, including malting barley for Scotland’s famous whiskies, and of course, oilseed rape.
Carrington Barns Farm is ideally situated for producing a high quality crop of rapeseed, due to the combination of the long summer days and cooler temperatures of Scottish summers, a fertile soil that is particularly suited to growing rapeseed, and plenty of rain!
Supernature cold pressed rapeseed oil is produced, harvested and bottled at Carrington Barns. Unlike most oilseed rape grown in Scotland, we chose a spring rather than a winter variety, which is planted in April and harvested in September. Its natural rapid growth means that there is no need for the use of any herbicides or fungicides, so it fits perfectly with our ethos of practical, responsible, sustainable farming. Even the by-product of cold pressing is put to good use as high quality animal feed, ensuring that every part in the production of our oil upholds the values of supernature.
