There are 2 primary silkworms suppliers. They are coastalsilkworms.com and mulberryfarms.com An internet search will reveal resellers.

many places that sell crickets may have silkworms as well. Just have to check the various online feeder suppliers. I have quite a few to choose from here in Canada...(though I think one has gone out of business...but they weren't all that good to start off with).

Mulberry farms is probably the biggest one in the US but pretty sure there are more than just two. May have to search a few businesses to find which ones supply silkworms closest to you.

Mulberry Farms is not closed. They may be out of stock from time to time that's just the nature of a business that has to get eggs with a limited usable life from China.

Mulberry Farms and Coastal Silkworms pool their orders together and import the eggs and food. There are no other suppliers that I know of that order directly. They all buy from Mulberry or Coastal and then resell.

I buy everything in bulk on their schedule so that I have a constant supply at a reasonable price. No matter how you slice it though Silkworms are not a cheap feeder.
