[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[Kava is Safe to Use]

The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.

In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

We often refer to our Linseed as being “Farm Fresh” – but what does that mean? And why does it matter?

Linseed isn’t the easiest plant to grow and harvest and so there’s always a good deal of relief when several tons of the glistening brown or gold seeds, complete with their nutty smell, are stored safely in our purpose-built barn. You can’t get much fresher and more traceable than that!

As we are able to store the seed, it means that we can “press on demand”. Your linseed pods and your culinary linseed oil reach you in a perfect and fresh condition. Both chefs and professional oil tasters alike tell us that our linseed oil is the best they have ever tasted.

“Press on Demand” is the way we ensure you get “Farm Fresh” because we only press the Linseeds into oil in small batches. We then bottle it by hand and send directly to you. Each bottle has a small silver label confirming it was pressed in the last ten days. This is the way we ensure You Always get the oil, “Farm Fresh”.

Think about “Farm Fresh” in the same way as you would milk – it needs consuming whilst it is fresh. We wonder sometimes how long ago other similar products were pressed or indeed how long they have been on a shelf.

But let me tell you a little more about the whole process. Each year, over 220 acres of linseed are planted and harvested. There are several varieties of linseed to choose from, but we prefer to grow a short-stemmed linseed plant because it throws every ounce of its energy into swelling the tiny seed head with oil. The linseed is planted in the spring as soon as the soil is warm and by late August or early September, it’s harvest time and the long days begin as the linseed is harvested. The seeds are then brought to the farm granary for storage.

Making the seed ready for pressing involves being passed through a seed cleaning machine before being allowed to fall into the press itself. From the press the oil flows initially into a vessel below the press for settlement. After a couple of days the oil has settled and is ready to be filtered through muslin and bottled by hand with no pumping. This is a cold pressed process, which means that no solvents or heat are ever used. This is because linseed is like other unsaturated nut and seed oils – if subjected to high temperatures the oil’s important health giving properties are destroyed. Our natural process can only be compared to the production methods used to produce the best single-estate olive oils.

Of course, being farmers we make sure that absolutely nothing goes to waste. The husks from the seeds become a rich oil cake for cattle feed, it also improves their health and and enriches the milk so we get better meat and milk too. Whole seed is also milled to make linseed flour which is then used in baking and as a healthy cereal topping.
