Ok, so I've nailed yeast down to Instaferm, which is made by a company out of Montreal. The problem is, I can't really find it locally (Durham Region, Ontario)!

Our Metro says "out of stock", and all other places are online.

Are there any known retailers of this stuff? It's frustrating that stores like Sobeys don't have online ordering so you can at least see what they carry.

I live very close to Foodbasics, Nofrills, RCSS, Freshco, Metro, Sobeys... and of course, American stores like Walmart, which I'm sooooooo over by now. LOL

You could just grow your own with instructions on how to make sourdough starter.

Notes:

it says unbleached, but you can use bleached flour with mashed up unwashed seed-less grapes the first day to start.
boil the jar/lid and water you use to sterilize first . Let cool until you can easily handle with your bare hands or it will kill the yeast.
it will take a week+ of daily feedings for it to be ideal starter. Once you have a healthy batch you can store it in the fridge and refeed it weekly/every time you use it.

My parents make this starter. Because I use a bread machine for bread and pizza dough, I'm OK sticking to off-the-shelf yeast to keep things simple and consistent, but I appreciate that another option exits! I may experiment with sourdough starter when I've got more time, though.
