Looking for communities to visit

Does anyone know of a good list of permaculture/sustainable communities that allow visitors? I am moving from Texas to Nova Scotia and want to do a tour of various communities to learn from them. East coast communities are the goal.
thanks,

Kelly

There is also in New Brunswick an ecovillage which its name is lost in my consciousness right now..phew. In Nova Scotia there are a few too. Not sure where you are moving but the Annapolis Valley has a lot of like minded folks.
