Eat Real Bread
As a nation we really love bread. It's a staple of almost all British households, with 12 million loaves baked and sold every day. At Hodmedod we’re a little more particular. We love real bread.
Miller’s Voice: Know Your Flour
Hodmedod's miller (and engineer) Keith Malcolm takes a closer look at stoneground wholemeal flour to understand its properties and how they change with time.
A View from the Mill House: Keith
Keith Malcolm joined Hodmedod during the first 2020 lockdown to help pack orders and has now taken on the role of miller, mastering the milling of wholemeal flour on our new mill.
Inside the Mill House
We're milling! Our new mill is up and running in the Hodmedod Mill House and we're stone-milling our own wholemeal flour, offering a wider range alongside our existing flours milled for us by Maple Farm in Suffolka and Shipton Mill in Gloucestershire.
YQ Wheat for Bakers
This photo from July 2017 marks an ending and a beginning. The end of a long search for bakers willing to work with the population wheats developed by Martin Wolfe. The start of a new phase that has seen YQ widely grown and used, alongside a blossoming of alternative grain systems in the UK.
A Grain Community
Kimberley Bell of Small Food Bakery reflects on four years of YQ grown for the bakery and the people-centred systems that have emerged and continue to emerge, around it.
Hwyl fawr a phob lwc William!
We bid goodbye and good luck to William Hudson, one of Hodmedod’s three founders, who's off to Wales to join a farm business on the Gower.
A View from the Bean Store: Joe
Joe Gaze joined Hodmedod as our first employee when we moved into the original Bean Store in Halesworth in 2015. He's now Operations Manager and responsible for the day-to-day running of the business and our team of sixteen.
Pasta meets Pulses
We’ve sold a range of Pastificio Carleschi's superb pasta for almost a year now, but absolutely delighted to add our brand new Emmer & Fava Bean Sedani, the result of a collaborative project with Giovanni Carleschi.
Flour by Horsepower
Earlier this year we had a call from incomparable Devon farmer and horseman Jonathan Waterer. He was coming to Suffolk to look at a new horse-drawn seed drill, did we want him to deliver some flour? We did.
East Anglian Agroforestry Open Farm Weekend (1st & 2nd May)
We know there are no quick fixes, no simple solutions, no one-size-fits all answers to the complex, existential challenges facing us. But agroforestry, a system of farming that combines agriculture with trees, is as close to a perfect answer as we've seen. And now you can see too!
Bundles & Boxes
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.
