Hello, Folks.  I greatly value the permaculture approach, and while I'm not currently able to join the movement fully, I would like to live near (and maybe help) such enlightened people.  I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for towns in northern or central Florida where I can rent a small house, ideally, in a quiet, natural setting, with access to healthy food, as well as permies like you, and close to other amenities.  Any advice about places, or resources for finding one, will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Jim

Can't go wrong with Bell, Florida in Gilchrist County.  Close to Gainesville with its farmers' markets and the natural beauty of the rivers and springs are hard to beat.  There are a lot of CSAs, small eco-farms, and amazing people around.  Give it a look!

I appreciate the suggestion, Hugh.  I hadn't considered that area west of Gainesville.  The landscape does seem impressive.

It definitely is and Gilchrist County is known for its many springs and canoeing.  The Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers are amazing and check out Ginnie Springs!  They're many springs along both rivers, some only known by locals and Ginnie is perhaps most known by folks outside of Florida.  Small homes and lots can easily be found around here, even in this market.  It is a bit rural, but worth taking a look at.
