Heritage wheat 

We are currently sold out of wheat berries and flour, and will be until our next harvest.

We were told growing heritage wheat was like cultivating a different crop. The seed is based on the mixture of traditional wheat varieties (known as a landrace) that would have been grown in the past to suit the climate and soils of each farm.

Over the years our landrace will evolve, as some varieties thrive and others are less well suited to the Trenchmore terroir. As we discover further heritage wheat seeds we’ll add these too.

These heritage varieties are thought to be more nutrient dense and have better flavour than modern varieties, and according to BBC’s Gardener’s Question Time Matthew Wilson modern wheat breeding is responsible for the growing intolerance to gluten.
