I'd be all for growing them yourself if you have the space, the time and the luck. But, Mary Jane's organic freeze-dried stuff is light weight, so not too bad in the shipping category and has saved us in a pinch more times than I can count. All her products are great!<BR/><BR/>www.maryjanesfarm.com<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>-MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788003422039639739.post-40480541996581693142007-08-28T22:13:00.000-07:002007-08-28T22:13:00.000-07:00thanks so much heather!thanks so much heather!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066743699985166783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788003422039639739.post-36062860173315625442007-08-28T20:26:00.000-07:002007-08-28T20:26:00.000-07:00If you are at all inclined to garden, even contain...If you are at all inclined to garden, even container garden, I'd start at the local library for a good guidebook and online to find a good seed supplier. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the seeds wouldn't start off locally, but seeds cost much less to truck cross-country than a pound of beans.<BR/><BR/>That said, I bought a bag of dried black beans at the grocery store and planted them one year. They grew! The homegrown black beans were a bit smaller than the store-bought ones, but overall I'd call it a success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
