Here are two resources for you.
This one is not a person, but a website:
http://www.dcfood.org , which is a listing of
local food resources for the DC area.
Although not a permaculturist per se, Joel Salatin
is one of the leading lights in local agriculture.
His farm is located in Swoope, Virginia. His
website is http://www.polyfacefarms.com/ .
I have heard him speak and he is a great speaker,
and very inspiring. His book, Holy Cows and Hog
Heaven, is truly a manifesto in support of local
food.
