Almost two decades ago, we started breeding specifically for challenging climate conditions and heat stress. Our first Magma Collection® varieties, Sanford, Lunar, Pelican, and PV857, were introduced for the fresh market in the United States as they showed consistently high marketable yields under heat stress and other challenging conditions. We’re currently extending this collection of stress-resistant beans to other markets where the climate is becoming more extreme, like Italy. 

The Magma Collection offers a complete range of varieties with different maturity dates, allowing you to split your planting. The varieties Pelican, PV857, Lunar, and Sanford give you consistent, uniform, dark green pods that yield reliably in highly variable climates.
