Great news! Following filming in May, Duncan and Farrington Oils are to be featured on Thursday 25 June at 7.00pm on The BBC one show with Plantswoman and Horticulturist Christine Walkden .

We are obviously thrilled to have this prime time exposure and anticipate a boost to sales so do make sure you have plenty of Mellow Yellow, our 3 delicious dressings and our brand new mayonnaise in stock!

We have our very own Delia, or should it be Nigella here at Farrington Oils, as Eli now writes a bi-monthly column in Country Kitchen magazine (www.countrykitchenmag.com). Entitled ‘Farmer’s Diary’, Eli writes about life on the farm, and gives recipes using Mellow Yellow of course. The magazine is a popular national food magazine that we are very proud to be associated with, so if you have a chance please check out Eli,s new column.

Show Time….

Thank-you to those of you who dropped in on Duncan, at the Speciality & Fine Food Fair in London, we had a fantastic show, meeting existing and new customers keen to stock Mellow Yellow. Eli also had success in Dublin at SHOP08 to increase our customers there, we hope to extend our wholesale distribution there shortly as a result. Now we look forward to the consumer shows leading up to Christmas, helping heighten awareness of our brand.

Roasted Vegetables….

With the winter months approaching, an excellent tip to give your customers is to try Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil to roast winter vegetables. The subtle nutty taste is fantastic with parsnips, butternut squash, carrots and more, making a great way to serve vegetables.

Summer has finally arrived, the harvest is in full swing and we are busier than ever on Bottom Farm! Welcome to our summer newsletter, where we are in the press, on the box and more…..

In the Press…

We hosted a very successful press day in May, where, in spite of the rain, we enjoyed Mellow Yellow drizzled barbequed asparagus cooked for us by Adam Gray (Head Chef at Rhodes Twenty Four in London). This has resulted in some excellent coverage in magazines such as Delicious, Countryfile and Good Housekeeping.

On the Box…

ITV viewers in the Anglia region will be able to catch us on “Country Lives” on Friday 22 August at 8pm and in the Meridian region on Sunday 31^st August at 6pm to see Duncan give a tour of the farm and some background on Farrington Oils Ltd.

Show Time…. We continue to show at both the trade and retail fairs and we have really noticed in the retail shows how familiar people are with Mellow Yellow as a brand and how aware they are of the many health benefits of cold-pressed rapeseed oil – many have stopped using olive oil in favour of Mellow Yellow.

Thank you to those of you who dropped in on Duncan at the Speciality & Fine Food Fair in Harrogate in June. We also had a good show at the CLA Game Fair in July at Blenheim, where this time the sun shone as it should!

Award winning Dressings!

The dressings have been flying off the shelves. Although people do associate them with salads and warmer weather, it is well worth remembering that they are also delicious with steamed veg, as well as smoked fish and cheeses.

SALSA… No, thankfully we haven’t all taken up latin-american dancing but we are very pleased to have attained our SALSA (Safe And Local Supplier Approval) accreditation which means that you can be confident in the high standards to which our oil and dressings are produced.

In the headlines again…

Hold the front page! We’ll be featured in the spring / early summer issues of some top notch magazines.

Kiwi chef Peter Gordon (of The Providores and Tapa Room in London) is writing a piece to appear in the June edition of Delicious magazine. He visited us during harvest and cooked a fabulous and healthy meal of mussels, a hot salad, and blueberry muffins in our kitchen. Naturally, he used Mellow Yellow for every course.

Other magazines will include House & Garden Magazine and BBC Good Food Magazine.

Watch us on…

We are filming again soon, to appear in a new series of Country Lives. This series will be broadcast in the Anglia and Meridian areas, and although no date is confirmed yet, it should be later in the spring.

Award winning Dressings!

The dressings are selling well. With all this press coverage and (we hope) good weather just around the corner, perhaps it would be a good time to make sure you’re well stocked.

Mellow Yellow in the Emerald Isle.

Mellow Yellow has been available in a few outlets for a couple of years. Now following a recent visit, and forthcoming press coverage, the number of Irish customers is increasing. Duncan will attend a trade show in Dublin later this year, to build on this success.
