Wow, sounds like your PYO will be quite an exciting place. Have always loved the idea of doing a PYO with produce growing on a raised bump of land on either side of the path that way people in wheelchairs can grab what they like. I can't remember what book we read this in but it looked brilliant and was kind of like being in a maze with food everywhere. I noticed that when referring to farmers you continually used "he" and "his" as the pronoun. Women have been farming since the beginning, and despite whether or not they get much notice for it please don't use language that cancels out 50% of the population from such an important job.

Various locations in North Portland are completely accessible by bike, like much of Portland. There are also many alternative permaculture landscapes in North PDX which was why I fell in love with it. Cohousing is in abundance here; the house I stayed at had 10 of us living communally in a large old victorian house. NE and SE are both good areas as well as anything from 60th down.
