Path to Freedom presents ‘A Homegrown Revolution’ A collaboration of selective media clips which feature their urban homestead and farm which focus on the need of radical action — growing food in the city.

This self produced, short music video was shown at Peter Seller’s Cultural Art’s class at UCLA followed by a short presentation by urban farmer, Jules Dervaes founder of Path to Freedom. The class focus was on the art of slow food and among other guests invited were Michael Pollan, Alice Waters and Eric Schlosser.

Like Victory Gardens of yesteryear, start your own homegrown revolution, grow your own food in your back or front yard — for more information visit the urban homesteaders at http://www.PathtoFreedom.com

Or on their online journal at: http://www.urbanhomestead.org/journal

Since the early 80’s the Dervaes family has slowly transformed their ordinary city lot into a self sufficient urban homestead.

(NOTE: This video’s creation, concept, layout, sound pickups and editing was done in a marathon session of just three days so please excuse any choppy editing! )

    Luke:
    I beheld Satan fall like lightening from heaven (Jesus said this)
    Aramaic Hebrew(his native tongue) translates like this!
    lightening is BARACK and heaven is BAMMA the O connects thoughts in Hebrew
    Here is the proven hebrew aramaic translation by the Hebrew scholars below!
    I BEHELD SATAN AS BARACK O BAMMA
    Wow! the fools in their arrogance elected Satan as your leader (fallenstar . us)

    I never grew anything in my life, I didn’t even thought about the impact of food. Then I moved to Japan, I saw my neighbors and my father in law growing their own veggies and fruits. After I tried it and I got hooked! It change my life for the good. I get a workout a feeling of accomplishment. Plus, you see yourself and your family develop a love and respect for food. It’s a wonderful relationship!
