[edit] Steps

Visit the baking/cooking department of your local grocery store. Ground, rubbed, dry sage is usually packaged in small, shakable containers. Larger grocer outlets sometimes offer freshly cut sage and/or dried-on-the-stem sage in the produce department.
Check out an organic farm in your area. They are an excellent source of cut (and sometimes dried) sage.
Contact local gourmet food shops or restaurant supply locations, too.
Grow and dry your own. (Plants are readily available at nurseries, or in the garden centers of locations such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, K-Mart.) See "Tips".

[edit] Tips

Growing and nurturing your own herb garden is fun and rewarding, and you always have fresh herbs on hand. Dry your herbs in a dehydrator and store them in an airtight container to keep them aromatic and flavorful.
