Our pop-up Shop! will be open again on Saturday 7th February alongside Barleybird's annual Seed Swap: Shop! at Hodmedod's Bean Store Please book to reserve a place on our free tour of the Bean Store at 12 noon |
Kick-start the new growing season at Barleybird’s annual Seed Swap, a chance to come together to share seeds, growing tips and food stories over a cuppa.
Please bring along any spare packs of bought seed (opened or unopened) or your own saved seed, preferably only 1-2 years old. Please ensure your seeds are clearly labelled, including the date. Don’t worry if you don’t have seeds to swap, you’re still welcome to come and collect seeds FREE of charge.
Other free offerings will include tree saplings from the Suffolk Tree Warden Network, samples of red (yes red!) walnuts from Red Hat Orchards, and a guided tour of Hodmedod's Bean Store, Millhouse & Bakehouse with Josiah at 12 noon (the tour is free but please book to help us manage numbers).
Hodmedod’s Shop! will be open again after last summer's popular pop-ups, an opportunity to shop for our pulses, grains, seeds and more from the warehouse shelves. Refreshments, soup & baked goods will be on sale from the Hodmedod Bakehouse.
The Gate, Sotterley Estate’s new self-service food retail outlet, is also now open next door, with a range of superb local food products including fresh veg from Clinks Care Farm and pastries, ferments and more from Wild Things.
We hope to see you there!
Have you driven or cycled past our front door and wondered what goes on behind it? Last June we opened our big Bean Store doors for a chance to shop with us in person and have a look behind the scenes. It was such a success we're now opening monthly through the spring and summer.
On the Essex coastline, where arable fields meet salt marsh and sea air, Frinton Farms is quietly doing something remarkable. What began as a traditional arable operation has, over the past decade, evolved into one of the UK’s only producers of pumpkin seed oil and snacking seeds – supplying Hodmedod with nutrient-rich pumpkin seed oil, golden linseed and roasted seeds.
Hodmedod co-founder Josiah Meldrum describes how Hodmedod emerged from the question of whether we can reliably and sustainably feed ourselves.
