What Is Irene Business
Henry and Irene have been living off grid full time since 2005 on a 43 acre off grid homestead in the high desert of Northern Arizona. Situated at 5280′ elevation, we enjoy four seasons of beautiful scenery and weather about 60 miles south of the Grand Canyon.
We grow most of our green beans, peppers, yellow beans, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, squash, garlic, and herbs. Specialty crops like asparagus, sun chokes, and lavender are supplemented by foraged foods including wild ground cherries, prickly pear, and other native plants.
Electricity is made using solar panels and one 400W wind generator. We power our buildings in two groups: Irene’s studio by itself, and house infrastructure: house, greenhouse, and workshops.
Thanks for joining us on our continuing journey.
Take care.
Henry & Irene

Yeah…people can be rude….mostly due to jealousy I would think……then go buy cheap stuff somewhere else…exactly….
I had to come back and see this video after the last one….multi-talented lady!!!
"Doing the research was not a big deal" .
One of my university professors said, "You go to college to learn about your chosen career. You go to university to learn HOW TO LEARN about your chosen career"
Awesome Irene, where there is a will there is a way, thanks very much
Miss seeing you at events. I treasure everything I have from your shop and hope we have the occasion to visit again. Enjoying your brainstorming!
take care n thx for sharing
Thanks for sharing what you do, Irene. I’ve been to a few REN Fairs and such with crafters and it is interesting. Let folks know there was Cosplay before the generation called it cosplay. 😂🤣😅.
That was an interesting chat… When making unique products like yours, a local craft show will never do well for you. When I was woodturning full time, I could never sell at a local show, but if I went to Toronto I would sell nearly every product I made. Crafts of this quality and uniqueness need a special customer base… Nice chat, Irene… Thank you…
I have several things you made, including a pair of earrings you put together for me at a Highlands War many years ago. Good stuff! Y'all take care.
That is so interesting!! Thanks for sharing. 😀
👍😎 Stay safe!!
thank you for that
morning
The many talents of Irene!
Seriously I keep seeing you two as History Professors at a university or something!! LOL!! With me its glass jars!! I don't make them…I just think their cool and I collect them!! I swear I was an apothecarist in my past life!! And sometimes I think we might be connected in a past life somewhere if you believe in that sort of thing!! LOL!! Cheers!!
