Kerr-Cole Solar Box Cookers

The Kerr-Cole Sustainable Living Center is located on 10 acres of land overlooking Harvest Valley in Taylor, Arizona, USA - a rural community located 175 miles Northeast of Phoenix. The 5,800 foot elevation provides a four-season climate in a high desert terrain of juniper/sage. Our objective is to live in harmony with all of life using sustainable living skills. This knowledge, based on practices from past and present generations, has been built up over the past 30 years. The effort has culminated in our current homemaking methods using solar cookers, solar food dryers, organic gardening and other practices and technologies appropriate for our circumstances. We live off the electricity grid and off the community water/sewage connections. To the degree practical we prefer to minimize car use and shopping by preparing meals from garden produce, stored bulk foods, and home preserved fruits, vegetables and herbs. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and helping others develop in this direction. Guests are welcome to visit by prior arrangement.
