heyjude welcome to Cheftalk.You might should have posted that in the recipe section so everyone can see it. Mezzaluna may move it.

You can get starter from a friend (hence the Amish "Friendship" Bread name) or you can buy it, in dried form, from your local megamart. Gold Rush is a brand that I've used and it works well.

After you get it started, your starter could last for generations, with proper care.

Good luck.

I typed "Amish Friendship Bread Starter" into Google and it came back with 17,500 hits. Here's one of them.
