Ilanna Greenfield grew up near the coast in Belfast Maine deep in the woods with large organic gardens, an artist mother, and Waldorf-inspired schooling. She continued from Maine to California with an art degree in Graphic Design and later a second degree in Early Childhood education. From book design, website, logos, nannying, gardening, managing an art gallery, owning a jewelry business, and then meeting her husband in the SF Bay Area in 2011. Ilanna and Shane connected on sustainable earth-friendly practices and wanting to see a better future. They sold everything and traveled the globe for a couple of years, dreaming of starting a permaculture farm and searching for the right community before moving to Mount Shasta in 2013. Ilanna and Shane live off-grid with their 6-year-old daughter Ayla and served the community for 9 years with their goat dairy, earth-friendly products, and vegetable and herb CSA. They then diversified into a growing Tiny House business and started looking for more earth-friendly summer camp and alternative schooling options for their daughter. In 2023 Ilanna founded the Regenerative Arts Learning Center & RAD Camp to bring all the experiences together into one RAD offering for the next generations, which is everything. These kids are our future and we work every day to bring Ilanna’s vision to our local families.
