Hi Marielle,
Kirby is right, I do have such a list (and an outdated
hardcopy Directory). I had saved your request & will be
able to send you a pretty good list in a few days.
Have you heard of John Irwin? He's was compiling a list of =
permcaulture design course graduates and may have gotten some =
information on permaculture farms.
Also Dan Hemenway in Florida was once compiling a list of permaculture =
sites.
Here in McDade, Texas we have a permaculture farm which we just =
installed last winter. We put 60,000 square feet into ponds, berms and =
swales and planted over 1,100 fruit trees, 1,000 asparigus, 500 black =
berries and two hundred blue berry bushes. We now have 16 ponds and 4.5 =
acres of surface water catchment, 23,000 gallons of rain water =
collection and two gravel wicks for purifying our black water.
