It’s been a toil of a month here at the Farm and we may well be reaching for the gin this weekend! However, all the hard work that the team puts in, including producing mountainous amounts of paperwork, to keep everything we do compliant and up to standard has been recognised as we have passed 3 sets of inspections during January.
Week 2: Salsa Inspection. Nothing to do with dancing or dips! This is serious stuff – Safe and Local Supplier Approval – which helps local and regional food producers supply products to national and regional buyers.
Week 3: Trading Standards inspection.
Week 4: Soil Association. This charity literally digs deeper to transform the way we eat, farm and care for our natural world. Definitely values we hold dear.
These approvals and accreditations are vital to our business. After a brief pause we’ll be focusing on developing our rural businesses further in 2022.
back to January 2007 to be precise, the year after we launched Wharfe Valley Farms oils. The Ackrill Group’s ’Business Pink’ ran this story 14 years ago – wow how time flies! One of WVF’s first celeb chefs – well pâtissiers in this case – one Thierry Dumouchel, renowned commercial baker, is pictured with Sallyann admiring beautiful breads made using our beautiful rapeseed oil!
Thierry’s family-run boulangerie, patisserie and chocolaterie is based in Garforth, Leeds and was established in 1998 by Thierry himself – father, owner and well-renowned Chocolatier and Master Baker. Born in Normandy, France to a farming family, Thierry learnt from a young age how to appreciate fresh, quality food and as a great believer in “You are what you eat” Thierry has always been against the addition of any artificial chemicals and preservatives in to our foods. Trained at Rouen Boulangerie Patisserie School, Thierry’s artful food skills have taken him around the world and as a master of his craft.
Seems Thierry’s values perfectly align with our own and, with both of us coming from framing families we share the same passion for our food and environments.
We look forward to bringing you more of our ‘historic highlights’ in the coming months! We have plenty to share which demonstrate the strength and credentials of the business.
‘We believe that here at Wharfe Valley, we are special because we are a small community-minded family business – we know each and every farmer who grows their seed for us, not because we met them in some meeting or other, but because we grew up with them.
They have been friends for over 60 years, and we work together. We give them the best price we can, not because that is what they ask, but because that is what we want to do.
Of course, this is a ‘labour of love’ for us. As third generation farmers, we believe that we have a duty of care to our land and our harvest – preserving all the natural and nutritional values of our oils.
So too, the recognition for our work with awards for our product taste and flavour, but also as one of ‘The Best of British Family Businesses 2018’
With All Best Wishes, and here’s to a safe and prosperous New Year
Ok, so they may not be the perfect looking, but Erika’s Yorkshire Puddings performed well when made for dinner one night, after she worked with Stephanie Moon (Chef Consultant) on a video shoot for Wharfe Valley, as part of our Celebrity Chef Challenge event.
Steph made some fabulous puddings – all using the same, simple recipe….
Step 1 – Take a container (cup, mug, jar etc). Erika took a bowl 8cm tall by 7cm wide
Step 2 – Fill (right to the top) with flour – empty into a mixing bowl
Step 3 – In the same container, fill (right to the top) with milk – empty into the mixing bowl
Step 4 – In the same container, fill (right to the top) with eggs – no matter how many eggs – fill the whole container – empty into the mixing bowl
Step 5 – Put the pudding tray into the oven onto 180 degrees, and leave to heat
Step 6 – Whisk all mixture together very well
Step 7 – Strain the liquid mixture into another bowl and leave to stand
Step 8 – Pour Wharfe Valley Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil (Original, or any of the infused flavours – Garlic & Rosemary, Black Pepper, Smoked, Chilli, Lemon)
Step 9 – Empty the mixture into the hot pudding trays
Step 10 – Leave for 25 minutes and take tray from oven
Step 11 – Take puddings from the hot pudding tray and serve! Yum.
Erika said, “Steph’s recipe seemed so simple, and totally different from what I had followed before. Served with a hearty stew the puddings might not be the best looking – but they tasted great!”.
As well as producing award winning Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oils, Dressings and Mayos, Wharfe Valley Farms also run a growing Contract Bottling business, designed for ‘like-minded entrepreneurs’.
As third generation farmers, the Kilby family is well versed in working with the natural ebb and flow of running a rural farming business, utilising their skills to get the most out of their operations.
“Contract Bottling complements our traditional Oils production, and we are able to schedule customers into our day- to- day workloads who have bottling and labelling needs, therefore utilising our down time. This is fast becoming a very exciting operation for us, and we are now looking to work with more businesses requiring outsourced bottling and packaging support” says Sallyann Kilby (MD).
The latest brand to put their faith In Wharfe Valley’s Contract Bottling expertise is Bax Botanics, based in Thorp Arch, Wetherby.
Chris and Rose Bax (the co- owners of the brand) have created a great tasting alcohol-free drink, using their experience and knowledge of creating recipes with plant flavours and other ingredients to inspire alcohol-free ‘spirits’.
“The planet, and sustainability, are massively important to us now and always have been. They are at the heart of what we believe in our home life and throughout our business.
We chose Wharfe Valley to bottle and label our products as, having met the team, discussed our unique requirements and inspected their processes and equipment, we felt very confident in their abilities to maintain our high-spec standards”, commented Chris & Rose.
Bax Botanics currently offer two products – Verbena and Sea Buckthorn. The classic, luxury bottle labels show rich patterns of microscopic plant cells and are printed on material derived from sugar cane waste, mirroring Chris and Rose’s belief in nature and sustainability – and giving the brand a high-end quality feel.
We’d like to say sorry to our customers who received a rather unexpected e mail from us last week. A glitch with our PayPal account interface to our ordering system meant that every customer we’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with over the years received a confirmation e mail for every order that you placed. Past and present.
Somewhat embarrassed by this and so we would like to say sorry. Forensics now completed and everything has returned to normal. We have managed to call most of your personally but if we were not able to reach you and you have any concerns please call us on 01937 572084. Those that did place an order – this will have been processed and on its way to you – or already arrived. We hope you enjoy it!
We are open for orders on the website until 21st December. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.
We’re always looking for ways to show our appreciation to our customers, and Sallyann and Geoff were delighted to support one of our key customers – Wellocks Distributors, at their 60th Diamond Anniversary Event late last month.
Wellocks held a mini exhibition at the Lancashire Country Cricket Club, Old Trafford, and invited suppliers from across the country, to showcase their products and enjoy the festivities, which included a networking evening, with presentations from William Jackson Food Group CEO/Chairman, Jill Martin (Wellocks MD), Simon Stenning, (Foodservice strategy Advisor and Futurist), as well as Chef Demonstrations and media presentations.
Sallyann said ‘It was a fabulous couple of days, meeting with the Wellocks team, other suppliers and hearing what industry specialists had to say about the foodservice industry at this time’
A new and exciting addition to the Christmas festivities launched in York earlier this month, with suppliers of local Yorkshire products invited to showcase their Christmas offerings.
‘The Winter Village’ at York Minster on Deansgate, opened on Wednesday 17th November, with an official ceremony – headed by Canon Michael, who lead with prayers, followed by music from a local quartet.
Visitors are welcomed to start their Christmas shopping at the newly erected Winter Village, which also hosts food and drink specialities and gifts from local culinary suppliers.
With traditional wooden cabins, heated and covered tables offering food, drinks and the perfect place to admire the majestic York Minster.
Wharfe Valley are proud to support the new Winter Village and welcome visitors to shop our range of multi award-winning Rapeseed Oils and Dressings.
The Winter Village is open daily 10.00am – 7.00pm and entry is free. Please do pop in!
It’s time to start thinking of Christmas – yes it really is!
Sallyann give us her latest update on goings on down at the farm:
“So this weekend we have decorated the Wharfe Valley Stoves Showroom. We have been really fortunate to have an award-winning visual display expert amongst our friends, who has kindly volunteered to add a bit of sparkle to the place. Well actually he took one look at our efforts, despaired and decided he needed to take it in hand!! We are really chuffed with the results. His contact details are available if anyone wants their house/showroom to have a touch of wonder this year!
The oil side is speeding up with new flavours in the mix and the Christmas gift packs ready to start flowing out of the door. More on this on our Social Media soon.
So far we have not had any problems with delivery, although our couriers are starting to mutter about delays in the future. All the crops are in the ground now, ready to see what the weather is going to throw at us this coming year. Some of them have even poked their first shoots out of the ground! Prices are a nightmare and with fertiliser in very short supply it is going to be difficult to work out the financial requirements for the next year.
Contract Bottling is busy with Christmas orders from our Cocktail Man stacking up ready to be sent out. There are so many lovely choices it is difficult to know which one to choose. Although at the moment I am rather stuck on the porn star martini……”
Wharfe Valley Farms is helping to promote ‘life in the real world’ for teenagers with complex learning and physical difficulties.
Helping the community has always been very important to the Kilby family. When we were approached by James Paylor, Teacher of 14-19 year olds, at West Specialist Inclusive Learning Centre Powerhouse in Leeds, we immediately offered support.
As Sallyann says:
“When we were asked for our help, of course we said yes. The work that James and his colleagues do at WSILC is so important in today’s society, and helping youngsters with complex learning and physical difficulties face everyday challenges is paramount in developing these young individuals lives’.
Wharfe Valley offered James a range of coloured bottles (to represent our actual oils range), making selection easier, more colourful, and to give more choice. We also donated jars of Dressings and Mayos so that the youngsters had differing shapes of products to work with – all adding to the creation of a realistic experience of shopping in real everyday life.
West SILC is a regional centre of excellence for the MOVE programme, which supports young people with physical disabilities to develop functional skills for everyday life.
It only took a few days; the right product; and the right occasion for North Street Deli in Wetherby to try a new product in their busy kitchen – Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil from Wharfe Valley Farms just a few miles down the road.
When we called in to meet owners, Diane Knowles and Alan Heeley, and presented our Original Rapeseed Oil, and Infused flavoured oils, we were greeted with great interest in our products, and a keen eye to spot the potential for adding something special to their dishes.
With over 10 years running the Deli, Diane and Alan (who are both trained chefs), have a loyal and supportive customer base both for the Deli Café offering, but also a growing Contract Catering and Speciality Dinners audience.
Eager to try one of our infused oils – Chilli – Diane prepared their traditional hummus with ciabatta bread and spicy tortilla chips for a current customer who wanted some nibbles for a midnight feast after the races with friends – this time Diane added our Chilli oil to the hummus ‘for extra depth’.
The feedback was overwhelmingly ‘thumbs up’ – ‘we’ll have that one again’
With current issues in the transport and haulage industry taking their toll on retail, hospitality and ‘everyday goods right across the country’, it’s good to know that this local food producer is keeping our deliveries ‘right on track’.
Sallyann Kilby, owner and MD of the Wharfe Valley Farms business says: ”Offering great value for money and an exceptional service to all of our customers – no matter how big or small, is part of our success. We have fantastic relationships with our nationwide delivery teams, and also have our own delivery vehicles which means we can control deliveries out to all our customers.
We can cater for small and bigger deliveries including palettes as and when required. So whatever anyone needs, deliveries are no problem for us”.
Sallyann continues.. “Obviously the current transport issues are leaving many shopkeepers and even multiple retailers with depleting and even empty shelves in some areas, which isn’t great for customers, but also impacts on the industry’s supply and demand forecasting procedures and consumer confidence. Our products are grown, harvested and produced right here on the family farm, so producing and managing stock enables us to maintain stock levels and deliveries for our customers”.
As if we needed to remind you – Wharfe Valley produce multi award-winning Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oils, Dressings and Mayonnaise for direct, web-based customers nationwide, foodservice, local and regional independent shops and food halls, as well as major multiples.

Wharfe Valley’s claim to fame is that we were the first farming business in the UK to spot the potential to develop our rapeseed crop by creating our own brand of rapeseed oils.
Fast forward fifteen years -we are so very proud – Wharfe Valley is an established and leading brand with a range of flavoured oils, salad dressings and mayos, all available in retail outlets, quality food halls and direct from the farm or the online shop.
And whilst product development continues apace, behind the scenes the original values of the Kilby family farming business remain a constant and underpin why the business has blossomed. Sallyann shares the story:
“One of our major supermarkets once asked me “What is your USP?”
I couldn’t give a slick corporate answer to summarise the reason why they should buy from our business. Regarding our products – we have plenty to say and plenty of benefits to offer. But for us it is not the whole story. The more I thought about it the more concerned I became, and then it came to me. So, here’s how I sum it up – straight from the heart:
“We are special because we are a small community-minded family business – we know each and every farmer who grows their seed for us, not because we met them in some meeting or other, but because we grew up with them. They have been friends for over 60 years, and we work together. We give them the best price we can, not because that is what they ask, but because that is what we want to do.
The rapeseed crop in one of our fields at Wharfe Valley Farms
Everything we do is a ‘labour of love’ for us. As third generation farmers, we believe that we have a duty of care to our land and our harvest – preserving all the natural and nutritional values of our oils.
We tick the boxes for provenance, sustainability and care of the environment as we grow a high percentage of rapeseed on our farm’s limestone soil, where we harvest, press and bottle it, capturing its unique, slightly nutty flavour.
Sallyann with the rapeseed oil products which form the heart of the business
Over the years Wharfe Valley’s relationships with our suppliers, customers, retailers and celebrity chefs have flourished.
So too, the recognition for our products, with an enviable array of awards for product taste and flavour, plus voted one of ‘The Best of British Family Businesses 2018”.
Sallyann finishes with “We welcome many visitors to the farm so if you are passing do pop in.”
We’ve really missed seeing our customers at the events over the last 18 months so we are all looking forward to the Skipton Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink Festival on the weekend of 24-25th July 2021.
We will be there with our rapeseed oils, dressings and fruit vinegars and hope you can make it.
If you can’t make it then let us know and we’ll send you the show offers on email for online orders and a list of local stockists.
Take care and we hope to see you soon.

Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe from Wharfe Valley Farms
Wharfe Valley have partnered up with a local hand sanitiser station producer to supply our customers with a robust and durable, portable and easy to assemble, station to dispense hand sanitiser safely.
In April 2020 Wharfe Valley added a range of high quality, 80% ethanol hand sanitiser to our product portfolio in a 1L bottle and a 5L container. This was well received by our customers and so we then introduced a spray lid and an automated, battery operated dispenser to the range. Since then we have seen growing demand for our products as the threat of Covid-19 still exists, especially since the hospitality sector re-opened.
The portable sanitiser station was an obvious addition to the new hand hygiene range as it means that customers and staff have easy access to a well positioned, durable and robust station.
As a food producer we understand that hand hygiene has never been as important. We tried the sanitiser station out onsite for ourselves and the staff found it to be an ideal solution to wash hands and keep everyone safe.
It is used along with the dispensers which are battery or mains operated and are suspended securely from the station. Local retailers already have this in operation and feedback has been really positive from them and their customers. With additional ongoing supply of both gel and liquid hand sanitiser available it’s our one stop shop for all your hand sanitising needs.
To find out more contact 01937 572084 or email oils@wharfevalley.co.uk.
