You might try these two companies. Southern Exposure is located in Virginia and the other Georgia. Both sell crowder and Southern peas.

I tried some Black Crowders this year for the first time and love'em!! I should have planted more. Mississippi Silver Hulls are good ones too.

I got my cow peas from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.(link below) They have several different varieties. I wonder how well the peas will grow in zone 7 if I plant now?? Anyone know about cow peas planted last week of July?? If anyone has done this please post your results.

Thanks,
DL

joy_unspeakable,
Not trying to hijack your thread - just need answers to cowpea question.

May be a bit late for Crowders. Some of the pinkeye/purple hulls get off the mark pretty quickly and may be a better bet in the upper south.

I buy mine from Heirloom Acres.

Joy, Willhite Seed has excellent prices, are pleasant to deal with, has low shipping charges, and the seeds are in the mail as soon as the order is placed (800-828-1840). I highly recommend them. And they have a large selection of Southern peas including the ones you are seeking, as well as the ones Farmerdilla recommends.

Thank you all for the sites. I went with the Mississippi Purple Hull. We'll see how they do!
