Homegrown Revolution
16,955 views
The Dervaes family wasn't pleased with the direction big farming was going. But they didn't sit around and wait for someone else to come up with a solution for them. Over several decades, they worked to transform the yard space around their house into a grassroots, family-operated, urban homestead located in the midst of the city of Pasadena, CA. Today, they not only grow their own food, but also use alternative energy and fuel sources, practice waste reduction, and overall try to live simply and inspire others through their example.

In Georgia we have a fairly long growing season and though it isn't like California, much can still be grown year around.
Seeing this video has inspired me to try harder. I don’t think I’ll use a bicycle to grind flour or hand-crank my blender, but I can most assuredly grow beautiful things to eat. Thanks!
