Welcome to The Bentley Farm, we’re excited to have you along for the journey!
We have ambitious plans for the future and whilst the farm is only in its infancy, we still have a rowdy bunch of animals and ideas to work on before we get to the exciting aspects of the plan.
The Bentley Farm consists of mixed grazing land with 250 animals currently grazing free. Our 5-year plan is to incorporate sustainable farming practices such as biodynamic farming, managed grazing, crop diversity and water management to produce a sustainable environment to breed, healthy, happy animals and grow oil-seed crops.
These crops, such as borage, sunflower seed and flack seed, would be harvested, and the oils extracted to be supplied to be used in personal care ingredients.
This is where our partners and friends at Stephenson come in. They’re the real experts in reacting oils to produce personal care ingredients so we’ll be working closely with them to learn and maximise the opportunity to grow the finest sustainable oils and produce truly innovative and sustainable ingredients for the Stephenson customers.
The Bentley Farm is a pilot plant where we’ll educate and learn, dig deep into sustainable farming practices and test new advances in extraction technologies to produce the very best oils to be used in some of the most innovative personal care products around the world.
We’re really excited about this journey and hope you’ll join us for the ride!
