Organic Farmer Seeks Housing in Santa Barbara Area

I'm a 47 year-old man who has just moved to the area from Washington State. 
I'm employed as a gardener at the Pacifica Graduate Institute's Organic 
Market Garden. Currently I'm living near Solvang, but I will need soon to 
move to a place closer to Summerland, where the Institute is located. I can 
afford $500 per month, preferably including utilities ($550/mo. tops). 
Anywhere from Goleta to Carpinteria and inland-- just so I don't have to 
put so much greenhouse gas and hydrocarbons into the air to get to work 
(and maybe get an hour or so of my life back).

I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't use drugs. I'm concerned with 
living as sustainably as possible. My diet is almost 100% organic. I'm 
primarily vegetarian (I eat dairy and eggs) although a few times a year I 
may have meat if it's organic and local (and someone else is buying). I 
have a beautiful 7 year-old daughter who will be living with me for as much 
as three months at a time (a photo of her is on my website). I also have an 
eighteen year-old son who lives in Washington and who might visit for two 
or three weeks in the summer.

I'm seeking a situation in a shared environment to keep my costs down. I'd 
love to live in a place that has pleasant spaces with peaceful, like-minded 
people who are earthy, cooperative and into simplicity. I'm handy around 
the house, can fix things, help in the garden, milk the goats, etc.

Please contact me, thanks:
