Hey, ed. Don't know how many you need, but if it is only a few, I'd head to your nearest grocery and pick a couple up in the produce section. In my experience, both store bought ginger and turmeric will grow for you. Buy them now, plant them in early spring, harvest a year from now.
Might be easier.

Hello Ed, they sell nice ones on etsy.com I ordered some from Hawaii a year ago and grew it this year in the ground it it did great and needs to be harvested now.  Check out the etsy.com site and order some there are lots of HI sellers.

This topic should be moved to the other forum section with vegetables.
Tumeric is not a plant grown for it's fruit as far as I know :D

Don't know about costco in Florida but costco in California seems to have plenty of organic turmeric that easily sprouts.  If they do it would be a great cheap source of material for you.

I am in SE LA and grow a lot of turmeric for local market.
Have a lot of fresh rhizome available for anyone that is interested.
Currently growing a few different varieties of turmeric, as well as ginger and galangal.

These are Hawaiian Red:
