There aren't any listed in LA proper, but some of those in the Straw 
Bale Building Registry (http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com) may be in 
the vicinity.  I don't know the names of suburbs well enough to 
know...

The Green Building Professionals Directory 
(http://directory.greenbuilder.com) shows one listing under Metro=Los 
Angeles and keyword=straw:
