You have decided you want to give Sourdough a shot. Well, you need a sourdough starter, right?

You have two options:
- Get a sourdough starter from a friend or someone local. A lot of times if you post in a local Facebook group that you are wanting to start sourdough, you will have several people volunteer to give you a start. This is by far the easiest way to get going. Remember that as soon as you feed the starter in your home it will be a completely different starter based on your environment, water, flour, etc.
- If you have a friend that does sourdough that lives across the country, they can send you some starter dehydrated. You will just have to re-hydrate it and give it a few feedings to get it back on track.
- Start your own starter. This is what I did. It can take a lot of patience to get established. I would highly recommend that if you are wanting to start a sourdough starter, go print out the How to Create A New Starter by Tom Cucuzza The Sourdough Journey guide. This is full of valuable information and walks you through each part of the process step-by-step with photos.
What are you waiting for? Get a starter going now so you can get to baking!
