I'm Looking to relocate to Portland

I am looking to relocate to the Portland area, and eventually pursue having a permaculture homestead in the same area.  I am having trouble, however, finding a job in the Portland area remotely from Tucson, and I don't have the money to visit for any kind of extended period that it might take to find a job.  Does anyone have any suggestions or leads that I might be able to pursue?  Is anyone willing to take me on in a "will work for food" fashion until I can get on my feet in the area?  I would especially love to find some kind of work in the organic/permaculture food industry.

If you have any suggestions for me, please reply to this post, or email me at kyle@permiehomestead.com.

Thanks!!
