A muffin recipe, and a query about black walnuts.

So, [livejournal.com profile] papersky recently posted this link to a lemon-walnut muffin recipe. Aside from the entertaining debate about what properly counts as an "ingredient" and whether this muffin recipe has any or not -- it has no flour, eggs, butter, or sugar -- it sounds quite tasty and I'd like to try it.

The recipe does bring up a question, though: Does anyone know of a local-to-the-Bay-Area source of black walnuts? I am really quite fond of them, and this recipe sounds like it would indeed (as it suggests) be improved by using black walnuts instead of the usual kind, but I don't know of any way to get some other than the trees on my mom's farm in Virginia. Suggestions?
