The Homegrown Revolution has been called a new revolution in urban sustainability, and we feel compelled to agree! Cities are becoming more and more filled with urban blight; the green spaces are fewer and further between, and all the food needs to be trucked in from elsewhere. Which is where urban homesteads are coming into the picture.
The Dervaes family has transformed their home in Pasadena into an urban homestead model. They’re able to harvest three tons of food off their 1/10th acre garden, all while taking advantage of back-to-basics practices, getting off the grid with solar energy and biodiesel.
This is the way of the future, and it’s a revolution I’m happy to be a part of.
