Hodmedod’s

Hodmedod’s – pulses, grains, flour and more

Hodmedod’s is a small but growing independent business, founded in 2012 to source and supply beans and other products from British farms.

Their work is ground-breaking, supporting an approach to farming that is respectful of the land and traditions. It is about a system that encourages wildlife and natural flora and fauna. It always comes back to diversity and whenever we chat, Josiah is almost always out and about, usually in a field, in his wellington’s, checking on a harvest with a farmer – and without a proper phone signal! Hodmedods work with British farmers to provide pulses and grains from fair and sustainable UK production, organic where possible.

The company was founded in 2012 by Nick Saltmarsh, Josiah Meldrum and William Hudson to change the way we buy beans and other products from British farms. When I met Josiah and explained my work on milling ‘a meadow’ and re-imagining flour, as well as how diversity is one of the core principles of nourishing and balancing the microbial community in the gut, it was
evident that our approach was in totally synergy.

I love this quote by the amazing Dr Micheal Mosely –  it sums up our approach “When it comes to bread not all bread is equal. Some breads are far more wholesome than others. Sourdough eaten as part of a Mediterranean diet is a good choice; I recommend Vanessa Kimbell’s simple approach to making sourdough at home, using wholegrain flour, salt and water and time for bread that nourishes.”

I look forward to seeing you the club ..  & don’t forget to share your bakes on Instagram & in the club forum.
