In the midst of a dense urban setting in downtown Pasadena, radical change is taking root. For over 20 years, the Dervaes family has been transforming their home into an urban homestead, a model for sustainable agriculture and city living. They harvest three tons of organic food annually from their 1/10 acre garden. Solar energy and biodiesel reduce the family’s footprint on the earth.
See the award-winning short documentary, Homegrown Revolution, and hear founder, Jules Dervaes, discuss the elements of urban homesteading.

About Path to Freedom's Urban Homestead:
Self-Reliant Living in the City
Since the mid–1980s, members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked at transforming their ordinary city lot in Pasadena into a thriving organic micro farm that supplies them with food all year round. These eco-pioneers also run a successful home business providing their surplus produce to local restaurants.
Through their adventures in growing and preserving their own food, installing a solar power system, home-brewing biodiesel for fuel, raising backyard farm animals, and learning back-to-basics skills, these modern-day pioneers have revived the old-fashioned spirit of self-reliance and resourcefulness.
Since 2001, their blog and worldwide media coverage have inspired millions to take steps towards a sustainable future and have generated the 21st century urban homestead movement.
