Does anyone have a good sourdough starter they'd be willing to mail to me? I don't want to start from scratch, and I'd like something with a bit of heredity and lineage. Ha ha...

I'll PayPal you the postage, etc.

I hope you find someone who will mail you some dehydrated starter.

I would like to encourage you to try making your own as it is so easy.

This recipe uses only flour and water because it captures wild yeast and only takes a few minutes a day for 10 days:

Or you could use the Wheaton Labs poly dough:

Jim, my starter is pretty new so probably not what you would want.
I'm not sure how one would send a fresh active one through the mail although it's possible to carefully dehydrate one.

It is pretty easy as Anne says to start one.

There's a step by step 'how to' that several of us participated in recently.

Judith,

Years ago I sent away for some of the old Oregon Trail sourdough starter and used it for a couple of years. Things changed, we moved a few times and I killed the starter. Had to toss it.

I'll probably go back to them if nobody here has any, but I would assume it would be as easy as placing a dollop of the starter on a piece of parchment paper, spreading it out with a spoon, and letting it dry out overnight. At that point, one could fold up the parchment paper, shove it in an envelope, and mail it out. It wouldn't even have to be all the way dry, I don't think.

From my reading, any starter comes to be the starter that's natural for your venue over a fairly short amount of time. If you order a San Francisco sourdough starter, the first three times you bake, maybe it has what you were looking for but as you feed it local flour and local microbes percolate into it, it loses its original constitution and becomes yours. I just start them fresh whenever I accidentally kill the one that I'm keeping (so like every 2-3 years).

I would be willing to mail you some heredity starter. It is over 100 years old fed with stone-ground organic flour.   Just send me a message.
