Olly and Francesca Lawson, co-founders of Lovesome Oils, which is grown and produced on their farm in Brafferton, near Darlington A FARM near Darlington has finished building a rapeseed oil press so it can produce its own oil from the crop it has been growing for generations. Olly Lawson, whose family has been farming at Lovesome Hill Farm, in Brafferton, for the last 90 years, is the co-founder of Lovesome Oil, which he set up with his wife Francesca. While the farm has been growing rapeseed for 40 years, the couple decided to diversify in 2018 by using their product to make their own cold-pressed oil.
