If you're not having luck with the other sites,
here's the US distributor for Quebec's Yogourmet products. They do mail order and carry two different kinds of kefir starter, as well as probiotic-enhanced yogurt starters from Yogourmet & Yogotherm, and also maintain a
list of local retailers which carry their products, down at the bottom of the FAQ.
I think you mentioned that you were in Texas? So there's two options from natural foods stores in Montgomery and Longview which may or may not be anywhere near you. Also, they've a recipe for "
Fruity Kefir Shake" down in their drinks section which you might like to give a try.
ETA: for the record, I used 2% skim milk for my kefir and yogurt, and it turned out fine (though the yogurt was helped along with some extra skim milk powder).
