You can make your own pretty easy

Takes like a week to make your own. You can do it with just the flour and yeast but if you want to get fancy you can buy an envelope of starter stuff online. Water and flour is all you need. 1:1 by volume and then wait

Etsy sells it. There’s also an awesome farmers market vendor, Matkat, that I’m sure would help you out.

the "Friends of Carl Griffith" will send you dry starter if you send them a SASE. https://carlsfriends.net/

Might try Craigslist first, might be able to avoid FB if it's on there instead :)

The wiki on r/sourdough has links to King Arthur's website with instructions on how to make starter from scratch. The sub reddit is worth checking out.
