About Us

Hello,

My name is Durwin Banks and I am the owner of High Barn Oils, suppliers of linseed oil from our family-owned farm in West Sussex. It was in the year 2000 that High Barn Oils was founded and today we supply linseed pods and culinary linseed oil direct to customers throughout the United Kingdom. A growing number of resellers, from health and well-being practitioners to beauticians are now ordering our linseed products too, but although the demand for High Barn Oils linseed has grown dramatically in the last eight years, I am pleased to say that little has changed on the farm itself. We remain a very hands-on family business, and enjoy making sure that our customers really do benefit from a genuine personal service.

Omega 3 can be obtained from fish oils also, of course, but linseed actually contains three times as much Omega 3 as fish oils is natural for us, and is also a strong source of Omega 6, Omega 9 and Vitamin E. In fact using linseed as a food ingredient can improve the function of all bodily systems. From pregnancy and infancy through to maturity and old age, linseed oil will help to sustain you as a healthy human being.

But what about the taste? The good news is that fresh linseed oil tastes great, our linseed pods and culinary oil have a smooth and slightly nutty taste. You will look forward to your daily helping of linseed, whether you use your pods with your morning fruit juice or add the culinary oil to your porridge or smoothies.

Hello Durwin,

I met you at the Farmers Market in Hove on Sunday and I bought the linseed pods. I've been taking various brands of Omega oils/capsules for a few months now without much change in my skin. I have to tell you that after 4 days of taking 3-4 linseed pods/ day, I can already see a difference - less intense wrinkles on my hands and neck area and softer skin. These are high quality. My diet is fairly good, also I'm a meditator and healer - so I'm in charge of my stress levels. I will certainly recommend these around.

Best Wishes for all your efforts to maintain high quality in foods.

Gay & Wendy

As a small mixed family farm it was hard to provide an income for everyone and my sisters Gay and Wendy found other work quite a few years ago. Now the linseed oil has given us much more I am pleased that Wendy has given up her job and come back to answer the phone and help with queries. Gay also has been able to help with the computer and sort out all the orders and packing. It is great to be able to work as a team again.
