   Go to your local natural foods store, and buy bulk organic.   If you
have a bigger store, you can be relatively sure of the 'youth' of the
beans.   These are dried in such a way that they will sprout. ('Cause you
can make sprouts out of numerous varieties, not just mungs and alfalfa.)
Also,  check out:

and try calling Schumways--they're in North Carolina, I *think*.
Schumways has a lovely selection of heirloom bean seed designed for home
gardens.
