The U at Burlington in Vermont should have some good stuff. Since you are not on the West coast, I won't get too into those schools, although the Evergreen College in Eugene and the U at Portland, and in WA at Bellingham would be great starters, but expensive.

If you type permaculture activist on google you should find some good sites where people post regularly the dates and locations of lectures, workshops and gatherings where one might learn and meet other like minded people, and maybe rope a few friends in tot he network as well!

Happy and endless trails, Peter

Dickinson College has a sustainability initiative, an organic farm that feeds the cafeteria, and a lot of classes take advantage of these resources. PA has an extremely active organic farm association (PASA)- perhaps you should contact them and ask who else is offfering programs?

UMass Amherst offers a sustainable agriculture track in the Plant and Soil Sciences major
