Hi Zach,
Thank you for expressing the urgency to which Mr. Holzer's visit yields. It'd be an honor to learn in person from the man who ignited my interest in permaculture and gave me the confidence to pursue this "alternative agriculture". I'm currently studying in Western Washington and am trying to equate which location makes the most sense.
I'm glad to see Sepp is going to California. If these methods could be adopted at anytime universally, it'd be now, during a drought in CA.
