permaculture

[Paul Wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

I would like to participate in a Permaculture Design Course that would 
feature a farm
like Sepp Holtz's.

For those not fmiliar with Sepp Holtz, he has those three cool videos from 
Austria.  It
sounds like he is about 4000 feet up in the alps with about 80 acres.  He has 
waist deep
snow in the winter.  He has thousands of fruit trees, about 70 ponds and 
pigs.  All on
some pretty steep slopes.  

I would like a PDC situated somewhere where its Zone 3/4/5 or 6.  With 
mountains and not
a lot of water to work with.  Working with animals (cattle, pigs, chickens, 
aquaculture,
etc.) and some large scale crops (hay, grain/straw, feed corn, etc.).  Many 
ponds and
aquaculture would be cool.  

I see a lot of permaculture farms on the coast that sound like they have a 
lot to offer,
but their challenges are quite different from mine.  Many have far more 
rainfall than I
have.  Many have no frost, let alone temperatures like 20 below.  So many the 
species of
trees and plants won't survive here.

Yesterday I took the tour at CRMPI in Colorado.  A lot of fascinating stuff 
all on about
an acre and a half of irrigated land.  A lot of terrific stuff done with 
greenhouses.  A
lot of good mulching demonstrations.  Good species diversification.  Lots of 
gardening
scale horticultural activity.  But not the level of agricultural activity I 
would like to
experience and learn more about.

Well, now I'm babbling too much ...

Can anyone recommend a PDC for me?
