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.

Will epsom salt work instead of rock salt for making ice cream?
No, Epsom salt should not be used as a substitute for rock salt in making ice cream.

Epsom salt is not suitable for this purpose and may not work effectively in the ice cream-making process.

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.
Does table salt or rock salt freeze ice cream?
