The largest being Howe family farms that I could easily ascertain from my minimal research.
I have a daughter that is posted to a teaching role in the area and was interested to see if I could purchase some green beans from this last years harvest...as she travelled past on her way home for Xmas....but to no avail.
Use the search facility and see if you can attract the attention of some other members here such as GrahamK as he's a long time member and growing some of his needs for a long period of time.
I have had trees growing thru to harvest....metro Bris.... and from my ltd experience I would need in the numbers of 50-60 plus trees given good And consistent harvest to be anywhere near self sufficient for my yearly 20kg* (post roast !) or thereabouts needs.
Anyway good luck stick at it. The growing is relatively straight forward and as WBN said above the challenge presents in how to efficiently process the harvest thru to ready to roast.
B u t don't be daunted a little research, ingenuity and pluck will see you ready to roast......which is far more fun !

*PS dont look past the fact that a kg of harvested greens beans will produce around 850g of beans once roasted !
