The largest employer in the village is Stonham Hedgerow, a family business manufacturing jams and preserves.

Background
History
According to the 13th century Liber Feodorum (Book of Fees), the fee tail granted to Roland the Farter for the manor was conditioned on the performance of "unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum" (one jump, one whistle, and one fart) at the king's court every Christmas. In 1597 the entire parish was cited before a church court for laxity. This may have been the influence of the incumbent manorial lord, Ralph Cantrell, a recusant Catholic. Hemingstone Hall is a brick-built Jacobean country house built in the early 17th century. It is a Grade I listed building. The Suffolk folk singer Percy Webb was born in Hemingstone in 1897.
