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]

Subject: Re: [nafex] Honey Locust Pods - How to Process?

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:

video)

has some other interesting videos as well.

Email me your address and I'll snail mail you some seeds.  You can
