For those of you who do culturing at home, where did you get your kombucha, keifer, and/or whatever else you use?
I am very much interested in starting kombucha, kefir, and Fil mjolk (creme fraiche). I've found that I can buy them online, but it will cost me $60 including shipping!
: I just can't afford that, and my DH would think that I was crazy for spending that much of our food budget. I thought that maybe I could get a different culture every few months, but shipping is $11 each time, and that adds up... 
Anyway, where/how did you get yours? Do you know of any places that might have them for a bit cheaper? Is it possible to find clutures in health food stores? I live pretty close to Seattle, and perhaps a store somewhere there carries them...

) I don't have milk kefir grains at the moment -- I've been using The Body Ecology powder for milk -- but I do have water kefir grains and a kombucha scoby all ready to go, and I'll send both to you anywhere in the U.S. for $8. Just PM me if you're interested.
