Growing Broad Beans, also Fava bean

Do you know where I can get fresh Broad beans? If not in season, when should I expect to be able to see them? Who (in Perh) is most likely to carry them? Do any (exclusive suppliers) import them in the off-season? I have Parkinson's disease and I have heard that they are high in L-DOPA which is what I'm low on.
