Event Details:
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. Come, see the award-winning short documentary, Homegrown Revolution, and hear founder, Jules Dervaes, discuss the elements of urban homesteading.
