I found a wonderful website that offers a FREE sourdough start with a wonderful history. You need to just send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to share this wonderful sourdough starter.
The Story:
Carl T. Griffith, who gave a sourdough starter to anyone who asked, or who sent him a self-addressed stamped envelope, died early in the year 2000 at the age of 80. He is known for his generosity and the high quality and vitality of his sourdough starts, which came from a sourdough culture carefully nurtured and preserved in his family for over 150 years!
Isn't he a cutie!!
How to get Carl's Sourdough Starter:
USA Residents
Send a self-addressed, stamped (41¢) #10 envelope [SASE41] to:
Oregon Trail Sourdough

A #10 envelope, also called, in the USA, a "business-size envelope", measures about 9-1/2 inches by 4-1/8 inches (24 cm by 10.5 cm). European size DL is close enough. If such an envelope is not available, simply send postage (or currency as below) plus your postal address, and we will provide an envelope.
