Producer
A bag of beans and a little curiosity may sound like the start of a fairytale but Hodmedod’s success is no fantasy. They source peas, beans, lentils and other pulses from British farms, encouraging a new diversity of crops to return to the country. The breadth of their range stretches from half-forgotten Iron Age fava beans to lentils grown in cutting edge agro-forests. With crops more readily available close to home, Hodmedod’s are shrinking food down with every bean.
