      • Vicia faba. This fava was very productive in a summer crop at our former Patagonia, AZ farm ... and also in our recent winter growout in Tucson! Pick when young for fresh shelling, or use as dry bean when seed is allowed to fully mature. Excellent for soups or hummus. Originally collected north of Espanola in Cuarteles, New Mexico. From our Seed Bank Collection.

      • Origin: High desert, but performs well in low desert winters
      • Light green seeds borne on 1.5 to 2.5 foot plants.
      • Can tolerate down to 20° F. 
      • Approx. 15g/15 seeds per packet.
      • Limit 3 packets
    • $5.95

    The cuarteles that I received as part of the donation of free heirloom seeds that were sent to our charity were received at the beginning of November, 2024. Fava Beans are not to be planted until March 2025. We did not plant the seeds we received yet.

    Every single seed that germinated in my pots was eaten by some bug. I planted 3-4 sets and the same thing happened. This morning my spinach crop is completely gone with no trace it was ever there. I kept my tomatoes alive all summer only to be eaten by the big green worms.
