Flaxland - Flax Growers & Processors in the UK

Flax is one of our oldest crops, its culture and many uses are host to a range of skills and crafts relating to our maritime and rural traditions. The fibre from the stem can be spun into the finest of linen to the strongest of ropes. The ancients understood the therapeutic value of its seeds which contain the highest level of omega 3 of any plant. The flax plant has stood the test of time, and is set to play a vital role in the quest for sustainable living.
