Broad Windsor fava beans are a robust, heirloom variety known for their large, flavorful seeds and sturdy growth. These bushy plants reach about 2-4 feet in height and thrive in cool weather, making them perfect for early spring or fall planting. The pods contain 5-6 large, creamy beans that are ideal for fresh eating, drying, or freezing. Broad Windsor favas are highly nutritious, rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. The plants also improve soil health by fixing nitrogen. Easy to grow and harvest, these fava beans are a favorite among gardeners seeking a productive, versatile, and delicious crop.
MIgardener has never sold a bad seed! These charming beans germinated in time to get planted out before the ground froze so anticipating a healthy harvest in the spring!
Just directed sow will update soon
I love them, reminded me back home when I was a kid, my mother and I eating them on the spot while collecting them from the vine, having the salt shaker in our pocket and also collection the radishes as well

Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
