Farm supply stores are probably your best bet. There's a confusing number of similar names for three related compounds: Calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, and calcium oxide. "Slaked lime" or "hydrated lime" is calcium hydroxide; this is the one you're asking about. "Lime," "crushed lime," or "agricultural lime" is calcium carbonate. You don't want that one. "Quicklime" or "burnt lime" is calcium oxide. You don't really want that one either, though if that's all you can find it does react with water to form slaked lime.
