Hello fellow permies in the Klamath/Sprague River area. Yes, there are quite a few of us out here in the Sprague River area starting up permaculture projects. In the last few months we've been discovering more and more of us. We have an organic farm out here and are planning to transform the whole place over to permaculture bit by bit. Plans include swales, hugelkultur, cob building, rocket mass stoves, and more. We are happy to get more people involved and look forward to forming a more cohesive group. Feel free to check out Picklesnoot Farms on facebook if you'd like to see what we're up to.

There is actually a good deal of wind out here--good news I hope.

I would say the figures you are finding for precipitation are accurate. It is definitely high desert and we tend to get a good afternoon breeze most days. It is a beautiful area with a combination of pastures, pines, and rivers. Most farms in the area grow hay or alfalfa and many have irrigation and/or greenhouses.

Wondering what kind of community you have in mind? Would love more information and to hear some of your ideas/plans for the community. My family will be purchasing ground in the next few months in the SW of Oregon. We have tossed around the idea of a small intentional community at times.
