Robert McFalls' new film, HomeGrown is the inspiring story of the

Dervaes

family - father, son and two daughters - that run a small organic farm

in

the heart of urban Pasadena, California.

 

Living off the grid, they harvest more than 6,000 pounds of produce on

less than a quarter-acre of land, make their own biodiesel, power

their

computers with the help of solar panels, and maintain a Web site that

gets

4,000 hits a day. The film offers an intimate portrait of urban

pioneers

living a " Little House on the Prairie " existence in the 21st century.

 

You can see the trailer for the film above, or at www.homegrown-film.com
