Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Pioneering a journey towards self-sufficiency, one step at a timeâ„¢ Food Network Visits the Urban Homestead Air Friday May 7 @ 10 PM on FOOD NETWORK IT AIN'T EASY BEING GREEN On this week's episode Chef Brian & I got a much needed lesson in how to make good with what we got. We were invited to prepare a meal using ONLY ingredients found on the Dervaes family's Urban Homestead for potential buyers of their products from Whole Foods & Bristol Farms. I can't use any of my cooking tools (ie NO L...e Creuset even... yikes) & we're "off the grid" tune in this Friday 5/7/10 at 10 pm EST to see how we did. It was seriously one of the hardest yet most rewarding experience of my life! can't WAIT to share this episode with you all & I hope the message resonates with the rest of America & we can take off from this INCREDIBLE family's lead . Check out some more "Behind the Scenes" Photos About Path to Freedom's Urban Homesteadâ„¢ 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.
