Most building supply or garden supply stores. In the USA, Lowes or Home Depot might be conveniently located for you. Rock salt is often used in water softeners. In northern climates, rock salt is sometimes used to melt ice on roadways or driveways.
However, if you're making ice cream, ANY salt will do; regular table salt or "kosher salt" will work as well, although it is more expensive than rock salt.

You can buy bulk ice cream or rock salt at many places including Sam's Club, or stores where they sell water softeners. It can also be found online, just do a search, but shipping prices can get pretty high since the bags can weigh as much as 50 pounds, so keep that in mind.

Rock salt is poured over ice which surrounds a container containing ice cream ingredients when making homemade ice cream why is this done?
the rock salt serves as a insulater. I figured that out because without the salt the ice cream wont form As the salt dissolves it increases the amount of solutes in the ice water. When there is an increase in solutes in liquid, it decreases the freezing temp. The ice water, along with the newly added solvents, now has a new freezing temp that is below the freezing temp of the ice cream.

Well, it does make it salty. In all seriousness though, if you add rock salt while making home made ice cream, it doesn't affect the flavor, but it makes it colder.
