Orders mailed out as time allows. Thanks for your understanding and patience. NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Unfortunately we are no longer sending seeds internationally at this time. Apologies for the inconvenience but the international paperwork has become too unpredictable and difficult to navigate.
Bere is a 6-row blond bearded barley that has been dated back to the 8th century, making it possibly the oldest cereal 'variety' cultivated in Europe. It has been used to make bread, beer, and whiskey, and for animal food. It is grown today largely on the Scottish Islands (the Shetlands, the Orkneys, and the Outer Hebrides), in mixed stands with rye and Shetland oats.
