Longden Farm Shop
About Shropshire's Own
We are Duncan and Sarah Ellson and we love fresh, local, produce. That’s why we set up Shropshire’s Own back in 2012. We’ve always enjoyed shopping in local farm shops but found we’d often leave frustrated because we couldn’t buy everything we wanted in one place. We’d then shop online with one of the supermarkets and have our order delivered - so we thought why not provide the same delivery service with a new online farm shop, here in Shropshire?
Shropshire's Own started out as an 'online only' venture, and then we took on our first real life, bricks and mortar village shop (and Post Office) back in 2014.
Take a good look around our store today and you’ll find an amazing variety of local Shropshire food, fresh farm produce and local artisan-made goods. All from our network of over 50 local farmers, growers and producers, along with eggs from our own free range chickens (& ducks), and our own heritage & heirloom variety ‘Shropshire sown’ vegetables.
For added convenience, we've now added the full range of everday/branded items you'd expect to find in your local village shop to the website, so that they can be included with your online order - just look out for the various 'Village Store' categories when browsing our Online Shop!

How We Make the Best Rapeseed Oil
Seeds Harvested...
Gently Squeezed...
Triple Filtered...
Healthier Choice
Cold pressed Rapeseed oil has the lowest saturated fat content of any culinary oil and less than half that of olive oil. As a nation we still consume too much saturated fat which can lead to symptoms such as high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.
Cold pressed Rapeseed oil has been shown to help reduce such symptoms when combined with a balanced diet.
Why Healthier?
Our Rapeseed oil is rich in Omega 3,6 & 9 and is a high source of vitamin E. Latest research shows Omega fats are essential for heart health, general wellness and to help maintain a healthy immune system.
Why Safe?
Our rapeseed oil is safe to cook at a high temperature with a burning point of 230c
It contains no artificial preservatives and is trans-fat and GM free. No heat involved. No additives during filtering.
No petro chemical solvents.

OUR CUSTOMERS
SAY IT'S SUPERB
Wow! What can I say? Bennett & Dunn oil is banging!
In my business, we only use Bennett & Dunn cold pressed rapeseed oils. With there rich taste and smooth texture, they are a great alternative to using butter in sauces.
Bennett & Dunn offer a fantastic range of flavoured oils which can be used for salad dressing, protein marinades, mayonnaise’s or just to simply cook with. My personal preference is the horseradish oil.
So if you haven’t already and aren’t sure about buying some, take my advice, trust the reviews and add it to your kitchen! You won’t be disappointed.

FEAST
"flavour and versatility"
I have been using Bennett & Dunn for a few years now after Tracey came to see me with a sample to try, i was bowled over with the flavour and versatility of the oil aswell as the health benefits.
Its the only oil i use now both in work and at home.
The reason I love Bennet & Dunn Rapeseed Oil so much is the purity and depth of flavour,
This is a real British artisan product made with love by my good friends Rupert and Tracy, local to my restaurant CoM,
The nuttiness and slight sweetness of the oil translates into so many of my dishes, I use the oil in all applications from sweet to savoury, i use it as a finishing oil & replace the heavier fats such as butter with the oil, as I don’t use imported ingredients on my menu’s, the rapeseed oil is my olive oil replacement, & is vital to my ingredient repotoire’
They also produce a wonderful Oak Smoked verison which is featured on my menus aswell, mainly adding a cool dimension to our vegetarian tasting
