“Ida Rose Florez challenges us to think about schools and education in ways that are unfamiliar to most. She introduces what to most of us is a new vocabulary for such thinking, to which we may feel some resistance. I urge you, experience and acknowledge the resistance, but don’t let it stop you.”
– Peter Gray, Ph.D., Research Professor, Boston College and author, Free to Learn

Red Lake Valley

Regenerative Homestead

Located in the heart of northern Arizona, our Red Lake Valley Regenerative Homestead offers visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in sustainable living practices.

Set against a stunning backdrop of ten acres of piñon pines and junipers, this homestead is home to Ida Rose and Rick Florez, who have dedicated themselves to living off the land in a way that respects both the environment and future generations. Their homestead is a living classroom where guests can learn hands-on about a variety of sustainable practices, from passive solar building techniques to water conservation strategies.
At the homestead, visitors can explore the principles of passive solar building, which utilizes natural sunlight and thermal mass to regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. By leveraging the sun’s energy, these structures are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
