(Vicia faba)
A true garden treasure, My Dad’s Heirloom Broad Beans have been lovingly grown and saved over time, preserving a classic, old‑style variety known for its large, long pods and generous beans. While the exact variety name has been lost, this strain represents the heart of heirloom gardening—flavour, resilience, and tradition passed down through generations.
These vigorous plants produce tall stems and abundant pods filled with big, plump beans, offering a rich, mild, nutty flavour that’s perfect for fresh harvests, cooking, or drying.
Ideal for cool‑season growing, broad beans are easy to grow and highly rewarding. They also naturally improve your soil by fixing nitrogen, making them a valuable addition to any home garden.
