Finding sproutable seeds locally?

[Guest guest]

As much as I would love to go online and spend a couple of hundred

dollars on lovely, superior sprouting seeds and nuts. (You should see

the my bookmark folder!) I'm afraid that is just not a financial reality

for me at this time. But I still want to try and get started sprouting

with what I can get my hands on locally. I'm just not sure where to

look!

In my very rural, East Texas area, I'm rather limited... I think the

only sproutable thing I can find at my local grocery is dried beans. I

have to drive nearly 30 miles to reach a health food store, (or even a

walmart, for that matter) and these are small and carry more supplements

than they do fresh, raw, healthy whole foods. So I'm thinking Feed

Stores are my best bet for bulk seed, though I'm not sure I can expect

anything fit for human consumption...

Am I missing something? Anyone have a better idea?~
