Grow your own food!

Homegrown Revolution
Homegrown Revolution is a short introduction to the homegrown project that has been called a new revolution in urban sustainability.
In the midst of a dense city setting in downtown Pasadena, radical change is taking root. For over twenty years, the Dervaes family have transformed their home into an urban homestead and model for sustainable agriculture and city living.
Through the creation of the "Urban Homestead" the Dervaes family shows that change is possible -- one step at a time. They harvest 3 tons of organic food annually from their 1/10 acre garden while incorporating many back-to-basics practices, solar energy and biodiesel in order to reduce their footprint on the earth's resources.
Through the creation of the "Urban Homestead" the Dervaes family shows that change is possible,
Homegrown Revolution is a short film that was never created for a film festival circuit but has a true homegrown, homemade story behind its creation.
