You'll find tempeh in the frozen food case of most natural and health food stores. Some larger supermarkets with specialty or organic foods sections may carry it. Frozen tempeh keeps well for several months. Thawed tempeh will keep about 10 days in the refrigerator. Since tempeh is a fermented product, it may develop a little mold on the surface, which is harmless.
