In 2021 Hodmedod teamed up with the Dark Mountain Project to send three writers out to write, in fiction, nonfiction and poetry, of days spent on different farms in Somerset, Suffolk and Essex, before and after harvest.
This booklet of their testimonies and accompanying artwork of grain and field speak of important relationships between people, creatures and plants that aren't always visible.
Read Hodmedod co-founder Josiah Meldrum's introduction to Sheaf, and Barn, a perspective on the project from editor Charlotte Du Cann of the Dark Mountain Project.

‘What became immediately clear is that it is stories – narratives – and the relationships we build with each other through telling and retelling them that create lasting change, not bald facts about a climate emergency, or nitrogen fixation, or biodiversity loss, or diet-related poor health’ Josiah Meldrum, Hodmedod co-founder, from his introduction to Sheaf |

I've spent years looking for a worthwhile healthy alternative to rice both in Europe and Asia. All the time it was lurking in East Anglia at Hodmedods waiting to be discovered. It's now a cupboard staple. More flavour than commercial rice, more fibre, too. Emmer and lentils! Who knew! Great stuff!
Excellent, very professional and you are kept up to date about your order, will use them again
This is a very nice product - delicious, subtle and very versatile. It's a good value too. I highly recommend it.
I often find fava beans a bit bitter (is it just me?!) so have previously just used them in quite heavily flavoured dishes. Not these ones though - no bitterness at all - just really tasty. I often eat them just with a bit of seasoning and drizzle of oil!
This unusual flour is something everyone should try. I use it in sourdough and yeasted bread, and it makes an unusually dense dough that is actually rather textured and nice to stretch and fold even when using at 50:50 with white. It has a very nice flavour with a long prove - and so far has never over-proved on me by going liquidy. Aside from its unusual flavour and appearance, I have achieved a good firm and edible crust that doesn't turn into nasty shards
