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 .

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.
