Dried Wheat Bunch | Norfolk Grown | 12 Stems

Golden Norfolk-grown dried wheat — 12 stems of the classic harvest crop, hand-cut and barn-dried at Salle Moor Hall Farm. Timeless, versatile, and instantly warming in any autumn display

Our dried wheat is one of the most quietly useful bunches in our whole dried flower range. Twelve tall golden stems, 45-60cm long, ready to add warmth, texture, and a sense of harvest to autumn arrangements, rustic wedding decor, Christmas displays, and craft projects. Grown here at Salle Moor Hall Farm, hand-cut at the perfect stage, and barn-dried in Norfolk — the natural golden colour is exactly what wheat is meant to look like, not bleached, not dyed, not treated.

🛠️ Care Guide

• Unpack carefully — wheat stems can be brittle; gently remove from packaging and give them a moment to settle after transit
• No water needed — dried wheat needs no water; just arrange and enjoy
• Keep dry — wheat re-absorbs moisture from humid rooms; keep away from bathrooms and steamy kitchens for longest life
• Away from direct sunlight — the golden colour fades with prolonged UV exposure; positions away from south-facing windows preserve colour
• Dust occasionally — a soft feather duster or a burst of hairdryer air on cool setting removes dust
• Between uses — store in a paper bag or box in a cool dry cupboard; not sealed plastic (which traps moisture)
• Shelf life — kept well, colour and shape hold for a year or more; the beauty of dried flowers is their longevity

🌿 Natural Variation

Because this is a real farm crop, small variations between bunches are natural. Stems may vary slightly in exact length within the 45-60cm range, ear size can differ, and the exact shade of gold depends on the specific harvest. This is the beauty of a real grown-in-Norfolk product rather than a mass-produced import.

🏆 Grown & Dried in Norfolk

Every stem in this bunch was grown at Salle Moor Hall Farm in Reepham, Norfolk — our own cutting field. We sow the wheat in early autumn, watch it grow through the winter and spring, and hand-cut in high summer at exactly the right stage: ears full, straw still golden, awns intact. The stems are then hung in our drying barn to preserve them at their peak. Zero air miles, zero import shipping, zero chemical treatments — just Norfolk-grown wheat with the story of the summer it grew in.
