A Documentary About Modern Day Urban Homesteaders
HOMEGROWN (2008) follows the Dervaes family who run a small organic
farm in the heart of urban Pasadena, California. While living off the grid,
they harvest over 6,000 pounds of produce on less than a quarter of an
acre, make their own bio diesel, power their computers with the help of
solar panels, and maintain a website that gets 4,000 hits a day. The film
