123 456 posted a site where you can buy organic seeds. They probably have the heirloom seeds for sale also. I am sure you know you can save those seeds, clean 'em, dry 'em, store them in a dry, cool place and you are ready for next year.
My mother in law used to save some of her hickory cane corn and would replant the kernels from year to year as well as some of her carolina white half-runner string beans. Over the years, I tried a lot of green beans (kentucky wonders, blue lakes) but those half runners are still my favorite and have great 'beany' flavor. Many of the survival sites, in addition to selling long term storage foods, offer heirloom seed packets so you can grow your own. Of course, with them 'seeding' the heavens with aluminum and poisoning everything in sight, even that might not be an option for long. Gosh.. I am all gloom and doom tonite. sry .. Lol..
