Permaculture homes to visit in interior BC for a family looking to move to BC someday?

Hello Permies!

We are a young family looking to buy and settle somewhere in BC east of the cascades. We'd like to travel through and see if we can learn from others what we might be getting into if we did. We grew up in the rockies so it's a bit different climate.

We can handle 4wd roads, and we bring our own (tiny) travel trailer, so we can handle our own shelter, power, water needs without drawing on yours.

I'm particularly interested in earthships or strawbale construction, and she's particularly interested in native skills or food forests.

If there is anyone who would be willing to let us visit their place we would be endlessly grateful to make your acquaintance.

Thanks,
Daniel

To be more or less specific, we're thinking the Okanagan, Kootenays, Shuswap, or even Cariboo areas.

I assume we would be priced out of the Frasier river area on less than $300,000 CAD for undeveloped land, or we would be open to that, too.

I'm particularly interested in how the legal frameworks of each Regional District might prevent us from living a permaculture lifestyle. Where we're from, strict requirements for septic systems, limitations on rainwater harvesting, and inexperience in permitting non-stick frame/concrete buildings makes living in harmony with the land a bureaucratic challenge, and while I'm sure some people enjoy rules-wrangling at the local planning office, that's not us.  I want to do everything right...but not exactly standard.
