Broad beans (or fava beans) are part of the legume family along with garden peas and chickpeas and originate from the Mediterranean, although the exact location is unclear. Broad beans are a very easy plant to grow, making them a favorite with aspiring gardeners and savvy horticulturists alike. Every seed variety undergoes organic cultivation and self-testing on our South African, Botswanan, Zambian, and Tanzanian farms. Our commitment lies in offering a diverse selection of organically grown, open-pollinated, Non-GMO seeds, proudly produced and acclimated locally. Before planting, please verify the conditions in your area suitable for the specific seed type. Growth rates and germination times hinge on various factors like soil conditions, rainfall/watering patterns, climate, and more. The outcome of growth and harvest may be influenced by these conditions.
