I think that red ochre is basically iron oxide so try to fine red soil, the darker the better. You might also try on the "Trading Post". 
I know you can buy natural pigments from "Crazy Crow". They are a sponsor.

Powdered rust is a good substitute.  Otherwise you'll have to dig in areas that could get you into trouble... if you want some for free.  Otherwise, there's plenty of it for sale.
