I was there two weeks ago and there was no damage. Some of the herbs had been affected by the constant rain over about a month long period and were not in peak condition, but overall, everything seemed unharmed. She is a lovely person as are the rest of the family and they all have an enormous amount of knowledge. Rhiannon, Isabell’s farm is quiet safe from flooding where it is.

I've told many of my sisters of Isabelles books because being Druid herbs are very important to us. Best thing is that Isabelle has the seeds to start things off so no running around like a chook with its preverbial cut off. I just hope that your farm was spared in the floods Isabelle, so much work. Excellent books, wonderful people.

That is awesome service and we plan to visit her farm in the near future too. We have had a look through her books and they seem to have so much awesome stuff in them. They will be reference books which we return to many times over the years, I am sure! :-) After reading this post the other day and discovering Isabell’s books and DVD, we ordered them all straight away and had them within 24 hours from her.

But I think even more important it is to create communities where people can share their knowledge every day, and inspire each other to become more self sufficient. I really think the ecovillage movement is one of the most important tools here, and I'm happy to know that permaculture encourage ecovillages. http://www.ecovillage.org

I am impressed by their farm and the books and DVD's. I think a lot of my customers would be interested in the knowledge from these as well! I will have to go and check out their farm the next time I am up that way. Luckily it is only a two hour drive. It would be a worthwhile day trip by the look of it! :-) How awesome.

Does the foods book have wide application -- for example, would it be useful in the Maritime Northwest, Northern Hemisphere? risa b Thank you for this post.
