Flax Farm

Flax Farm: flaxseed products from West Sussex

Flax Farm Ltd is a British company based at Park Farm Cottage in Sedgwick, near Horsham, West Sussex. Its catalogue revolves around flaxseed (also called linseed) and derived foods, sold through an online shop that the company also opens to telephone orders. The site presents the business as a specialist in flax for both flavour and health, and organises its offer around a gluten-free policy that it states applies to its flaxseed, Flaxjacks, flax porridge and muesli.

Cold-pressed oil and flaxseed in several formats

The core of the range is cold-pressed flaxseed oil, offered in a standard line and a high-lignan version. Flaxseed itself is sold whole and ground, and the shop also groups organic flaxseed products and a selection of bulk savers. Around these staples the company has built prepared foods: Flaxjacks, described as luxury gluten-free flapjacks, and a flax porridge and muesli line that includes a flax and buckwheat porridge with quinoa in three varieties, all oat-free and gluten-free.

Special diets and dietary programmes

A significant part of the site is devoted to specific dietary approaches. Flax Farm catalogues products for the Budwig diet, the Overcoming MS recovery programme, vegan customers, sugar-free diets, low-carb and paleo or keto eating, and low GI/low GL regimes. It also publishes material on using flaxseed within a gluten-free diet and on the company's gluten-free policy and organic certification. The catalogue counts include 35 cold-pressed flaxseed oil products, 15 ground flaxseed products, 11 flax porridge and muesli products and 27 Flaxjacks, alongside dedicated vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free Flaxjacks.

Flaxseed for dogs, horses and poultry

The business extends beyond human food. It sells flaxseed for dogs, horses and ponies, and poultry and cage birds, and publishes guidance on feeding flaxseed to hens for omega-3 eggs, on cold-pressed flaxseed oil for dogs and on a Budwig diet adapted for dogs. A separate trade and wholesale section addresses professional buyers, and the site also mentions an affiliate programme and a programme for practitioners and professionals.

Reference content and recipes

Flax Farm maintains an informational section called Flaxipedia, described as a celebration of flax and its historical, traditional and unusual uses, and a blog with breakfast ideas, recipes and podcasts. Published recipes include a gluten-free blueberry and lemon cake made with flax porridge, seeded fruity flax and carrot slices without added sugar, and a seeded chickpea flatbread. The site also answers practical questions about the difference between linseed and flax, the colour varieties, cooking with flax oil, refrigeration and lignan content.
