There is no better gift than pulses, grains and seeds (right?!), so we’ve put together some bundles and boxes of products from across our range.
Packed full of wonderful produce from British farms (and the sea), they’re a real celebration of the connected network of supply that we believe should characterise the whole food system – but sadly mostly doesn’t. Why wouldn’t your carlin peas have the farmer’s name on the bag? Who doesn’t want to know exactly where their quinoa grows?
Whether you’re buying for yourself or for a someone else our bundles and boxes are the perfect present. They’re also a great way to try new things, to refill a store cupboard or to cater for Christmas.
Here’s what we’ve put together, we hope you’re as excited as us:
📦 Big Bundle of British Pulses – all the pulses! Who knew there was so much that could be grown in the UK?
📦 Hodmedod Selection Box – a little bit of everything we do; whole pulses, flours, snacks, seeds and blends.
📦 Guest Producer Bundle – Through lockdown we began listing amazing foods from our friends; seaweed, syrups, pasta, salt, oils and vinegars. Not just made in the UK, but made with ingredients grown on UK farms or harvested from our coastal waters
📦 Snack Selection Box – a Christmas essential… if you can hold onto them for that long
📦 Gluten-free Bundle – a range of flours seeds and flakes suitable for coeliacs and anyone else looking for interesting alternatives to cereal flakes and flours
📦 Bakers' Box – get started with wholegrains, discover something new or replenish your flour stocks. From ancient grains like emmer and spelt, to YQ - a recent groundbreaking agroecological advance.
📦 Flaked Cereals Selection Box – make your own flapjacks, crumbles and muesli, add to breads or make granola (you’ll need some @libertyfieldsdorset apple syrup)
📦 Mystery Box – who knows? Give it a go… there’ll always be at least five different items and it’ll always have a £20 face value (but we sell them for £9.99), beyond that your guess is as good as ours

A few years ago we were looking for a sweetner for some granola recipes, something UK produced and minimally processed. When our apple syrup order from Liberty Fields arrived we knew we were onto something special - we quickly added them to our short list of brilliant Guest Producers
We've launched ten pulses and grains from British farms as part of Holland & Barrett's transformation of their food range, available in their stores across the UK. It's a fantastic opportunity to make British-grown fava beans, carlin peas and quinoa, along with other pulses and cereals, available more widely and to support more diverse farming.
Down a warren of country lanes, not far from the Tamar Valley in Cornwall, is Julie Bailey's orchard Lower Trelabe, where she grows historic local varieties of apple and makes her delicious Apple Natural apple shreds, traditional fruit leathers that contain only the natural plant sugars.
