Description
a.k.a. Broad beans or Horse beans. The perfect bean for Montana as it actually LIKES cold weather! Should be sown at the same time as peas, when the soil can first be worked in the spring. The highest and most digestible protein of all beans. We sow 3 to 4 inches apart with 15 inches between rows. An upright, bush-type heirloom, it may need staking with closer spacing. Favas are great grilled in the shells, then eaten whole, or popped out of their pods like edamame. They are the original “falafel” bean. Boiled and frozen they are a nutritious addition to your meals all winter long. Grown by Terrapin Farm in Whitefish, MT. Vicia faba.

We grew Windsor fava beans for the first time in 2018 and absolutely loved them! We have a market garden, but only put in one row of Windsor, having not grown favas before and not knowing what to expect. We wished we had put in several rows as they were low maintenance and prolific and delicious! We look forward to our second year of Windsors!
