The team at a North Yorkshire rapeseed oil business are
celebrating after winning a regional farming award.
Thixendale-based Breckenholme, won the Diversification
of the Year category at the 2023 Northern Farmer Awards that were held
in Harrogate recently.
Co-founder, Adam Palmer said: “Little did we know when
we filled our first bottles of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil 15 years ago that we
would have grown both the business and an amazing team, and still be winning
awards! It’s a real team effort and we’re very proud to have won.”
The team beat stiff competition from Listers
Crisps and Pollington Grange to win the award.
Organised by
the Northern Farmer magazine and supported by Mole Country Stores, the Northern
Farmer awards reward and celebrate the farmers who work tirelessly to
keep the nation fed.
The Diversification award,
sponsored by Carr’s Billington, celebrates businesses that are working to
create a more diverse environment and to improve and enhance the countryside,
whilst maintaining a viable business.
Breckenholme
is home to two brands, both of which are based on award-winning rapeseed oil
that is pressed, blended,
bottled and labelled on the family farm in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds. Yorkshire
Rapeseed Oil was established in 2008 and was followed by lifestyle brand
Charlie & Ivy’s in 2014. The brands produce a range of oils, bread dippers, dressings and mayonnaise
that are sold in farm shops, delis and specialist independent retailers
nationwide.
