For almost 20 years, Brow Farm Ltd has been cultivating high-quality linseed using regenerative farming practices. Linseed, also known as flaxseed, has deep roots in British agricultural history, valued for its versatility, nutritional benefits, and industrial uses. Our farm in Holmeswood, Lancashire, takes pride in growing linseed sustainably, ensuring that both the environment and our customers benefit from the finest quality seeds.

A Rich History of Linseed in the UK

Linseed has been grown in the UK for centuries, initially prized for its fibers in the production of linen and later for its nutrient-rich seeds. Today, linseed remains an essential crop in the UK, cherished for its health benefits as a food source, its use in the medical industry, and its applications in products such as heat and cooling packs. At Brow Farm, we carry on this tradition, cultivating linseed with modern regenerative farming methods to ensure soil health and long-term sustainability.

Regenerative Farming Methods

At Brow Farm, our linseed is grown using regenerative agriculture principles, which prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecosystem resilience. By using cover crops, minimal soil disturbance, and natural fertilizers like compost teas and organic matter, we work to enhance the soil’s ability to retain nutrients and water. This not only results in healthier crops but also contributes to carbon sequestration and biodiversity improvement.

Linseed Uses

Our linseed is grown for a variety of uses:

  • Food Use: Linseed is well-known for its high omega-3 content and its use in healthy eating. It can be ground into linseed meal, added to bread and cereals, or used as a plant-based source of essential fatty acids.
  • Heat and Cooling Packs: Linseed’s ability to retain heat and cold makes it an excellent natural filler for reusable heat and cooling packs, providing a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials.
  • Medical Industry: Linseed is also used in various medical applications, from supplements to topical treatments, thanks to its rich nutrient profile and anti-inflammatory properties.
