permaculture

[Louisepape@aol.com]

Hi Toby,

I am a fellow permaculturalist in the mountains of Northern New Mexico, 
running an organic farm and ranch, living in a non-toxic straw-bale house 
that is solar, etc.  I have read your work numerous times- good goin'!

I am chemically sensitive after having been sprayed with pesticides years 
ago, when I nearly died.  After years of recovering, now my major problem is 
that pesticides make me drop.  I want to go to Northern California and am 
wondering if you know of any places that are relatively pesticide free.  Our 
nation seems to have gone crazy with killing anything that moves.  
Do you know of valleys that are relatively safe?  I am looking for places 
where there are like-minded people.  Places to stay that are safe?  Any 
contacts I could talk with?  Any ideas?   Where is Shangri-la anyway?

Thanks so much.
