There must be a Whole Foods market down there somewhere... Or try a big
health food store. There was an article in the SF Chronicle within the last
month that listed a bunch of stores that stock it; also, try the local
farmers' markets. Many ranchers are marketing through them these days. I
get mine from Big Bluff Ranch (530-529-2291) who will sell wholesale
packages of as little as 15 pounds, but their product is available in some
of the above listed sources.
