There is some processing info for honey locust (including a honey locust beer 
recipe) on the Wild Pantry website, http://www.wildpantry.com/beans.htm.

Also, if you have access via a library or university to journals, you might 
access this source of info:
Batzell, Peter. 1985. Edible pods. Bio-dynamics. 155: 55-58. [23161]

Hi Jim -

I'd be happy to send you seeds, but as I'm sure you know, the seedlings are 
extremely unlikely to turn out like the parent tree. What the seedlings 
should do well, however, is provide a highly compatible rootstock for the 
selected parent trees, which I've read can be a problem when grafting 
honeylocust.  Given the former owner's experience with crop trees, I strongly 
suspect these trees to be Calhoun, Millwood, and Torbett. I'm not sure yet 
how many trees there are, as it was getting dark (and cold!) when I located 
them and I didn't get a chance to really look around.

In case you've not grown honeylocust before, you'll want to watch this brief 
video describing the effect of abrading and vinegar soaking on honey locust 
seed germination: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PipKtFHwgL4. Wogsland (the 
maker of the video) has some other interesting videos as well.

Email me your address and I'll snail mail you some seeds.  You can find my 
email address at the bottom of this page: http://goo.gl/wMldB
