I get mine here:<br /><br />http://www.anasazibeans.com/<br /><br />Local Krogers (King Soopers) also carries them. They taste better'n pintos, cook faster, don't need soaking overnight, and produce much less gas. Grown in the Dove Creek, CO area north of Cortez, the Pinto Bean Capital of the World. And yes, their pintos rock, too.Darrellnoreply@blogger.com
