From the Planted Seed

Midlands produces and supplies quality conventional and organic oil seeds both our own processing and for export to global markets. The majority of our oil seeds, including Hemp Seed, Flaxseed and Evening Primrose, are grown under contract in the Canterbury region, which has a unique soil and climate combination producing some of the world’s finest specialty oils and health food ingredients.

The majority of our oil seeds, including Hemp Seed, Flaxseed and Evening Primrose, are grown under contract in the Canterbury region, which has a unique soil and climate combination producing some of the world’s finest specialty oils. All seed production is undertaken by our sister company Midlands Seed, meaning we can ensure the best practice is followed on farms, with a resultant guarantee of quality seed going into the our presses.

To Extracting our Oil

Midlands oversees the seed production process, providing full traceability from farm to the consumer. Once our crops are harvested, our seed is dressed and carefully transported to our extraction facility. All product produced is tested to ensure it is of the highest purity and quality standard.

Our purpose built facility is produces the finest oils to globally recognised standards. This 4500sq foot factory has an enclosed seed pressing room, which excludes light so that delicate seed oils are not exposed to damaging ultraviolet light. The thick concrete walls make stable temperature control simple, which again is vital for maintaining oil quality.

After we have finishing extracting our oil, we change gears to produce our superfoods range.
