What People Are Saying

Here’s one of the many reviews

Dervaes Family,
I just watched the HOMEGROWN REVOLUTION last night at an environmental film tour in Berkeley. I just wanted to let you know that your way of living in the concrete jungle of LA is an inspiration; one we should all look up to. Thank you for sharing your family’s commitment to utilizing the precious and often forgotten gifts this world provides to us every day.

Angie
