Gracie,
You can buy them in most larger grocery stores. They come dry (requires a day of soaking before cooking), frozen or canned. My parents would grow them in their garden. I usually go with the frozen and add ham (or bacon), chopped onion, salt, pepper and a little garlic powder to taste and maybe a slice of jalapeno or so (if you like spicy). The key is to cook them long and slow so they become tender and absorb the ham, onion and spice flavors. You can also add canned sliced tomatoes if you like them.
