Have a look at the group's FAQs, shich give the link for Carl's
starter. Carl's Friends can forward your request to someone in the UK
who will send it to you for a nominal sum to cover P&P.

You can also get starters by mail order from The Village Bakery in
Cumbria -sorry I don't have the URL but try Google. They are quite
expensive.

Or you could try making your own starter - again, refer to the FAQ.
The instructions using rye flour to begin with are very clear and work
very well. I have been using my own starter now for several years
with great success; in fact my daughter made some sourdough bread in
her Oxford college last year with it. She couldn't keep it up,
though, as the bread was eaten as fast as she could make it and she
was supposed to be there to study...
