Coming soon to the beautiful rolling plains of Northern Arizona will be The Walker Ranch.  Nestled on 36 acres of pristine high desert will be a model of sustainability welcoming visitors from all over the world.  In addition to my dream straw bale home, the property will have 5 completely self sufficient bed & breakfast cabins available for those traveling to and from the Grand Canyon...    Solar and wind power, harvested cloud juice, awesome food, clear skies and unbelievable quiet...This is where you can truly get away from it ALL!

Not only will the ranch be completely independant of commercial energy sources but the food alone will be a good enough reason to drop in for a visit.      Fruits and vegetables will fluorish in our greenhouses as well as the soil beds in each cabin as well as the main house.  Ponds and tanks will be constructed so that we may have fresh Tilapia and Red Claw Crayfish year round as a real treat for our guests.    Our solar powered hydroponic NFT and Dutch Bucket growing systems will provide you with year round with perfect lettuce, cilantro, basil, tomatoes, broccoli, soybeans, carrots, onions, and just about any other vegetable you can imagine!

Our solar powered oil press will continue to squeeze the oil from seeds, nuts, and soybeans to provide us with oil not only for cooking and soap making but to make bio-diesel to power our back-up generator and run our vehicles.   Leave the frustrations of life in the city behind and when you come on up to visit one of the greatest wonders of the world just a half hour away come and stay with us. You'll be able to enjoy complete freedom from the power grid, the oil pipeline, the grocery store, and just about everything else, even if it's just for a day.  Who knows....you might find it tough to leave! Construction is scheduled to start in mid 06' please e-mail us with any questions or to get on the mailing list for special offers to our first guests... See You Soon!   The Walker Family  -   azsolar@azsolar.com
