Description: organically grown and harvested on our farm in July 2022, germination test done showed 43 sprouts out of 45, or 95%, suitable for spring sowing 2 lbs from the Adaptive Seeds website: Small seeded favas are usually relegated to cover crop status, but Sweet Lorane was selected to have good, sweet flavor, so it’s an excellent choice for a dual-purpose crop to feed both the soil and the gardener. The flavor is excellent and is especially delicious in fava hummus. Usually sown in autumn for cover cropping and for higher yields, favas may also be spring sown. Extremely winter hardy – we have seen this variety muster through winter temps of 0°F with only a few inches of snow for protection. When grown as a dry bean, Sweet Lorane is less prone to splitting during harvest and processing than the larger seeded types. Bred by Steve Solomon in the 1980s and re-selected more recently by Alan Adesse right here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
