I'm not sure how old mine is...I got the start from a Mormon guy in our dance community. It could be pretty old. But I've gotten it mighty strong. I sent a start to my daughter and son-in-law last month. It took 12 days to get from Texas to Seattle, WA. Even though I fed it before I mailed it, I thought it would be dead after starving like that--the weather wasn't even particularly cold during the time it was in transit. But my son-in law fed it and whipped out a loaf of beautiful sourdough about 48 hours after receiving it. I guess it's pretty strong.
