After two years of being screened at many film festivals and community viewings throughout the world, we have published (in its entirety) our award winning short film Homegrown Revolution for free viewing on YouTube.

It has been a crazy ride and exciting to have an award winning film and we sincerely thank those of you who supported this film in many ways.  A big THANK YOU goes out from our hearts to those  who supported us, purchased this video, screened it, shared it or simply let the film's message lead you to a new way of looking at your yard. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! We really appreciate it.

Our unlikely little film was a surprise success story.  For those of you who don't know the history, I'll recap briefly.  For those of you already know it, go ahead and skip to the end of this post to watch Homegrown Revolution.

Homegrown Revolution was made in a whirlwind three days after a last-minute invite for Dad to speak at Peter Sellars' UCLA class in 2007.  Jules Dervaes was to be the lead-in and local authority on sustainable food to Michael Pollan's presentation.

By now, we had given so many presentations, the explaining of our project and "Urban Homesteading" was becoming a tad redundant - there are only so many clever ways we could explain what we have been doing the last 16+ years.  Plus, the fact that this was a night class had many of us expecting a room of yawning and under-caffeinated students blinking sleepily at their laptop screens and surfing Facebook, content to get class credit simply for being a body in the seat.  Short of handing Red Bull out to everyone, we seriously thought NO ONE would wake up for this Urban Homesteading and sustainable food presentation.

Looking back at the time, I realize how far the movement has come to the point it is today.   It wasn't long ago at all, but in 2007  the movement was just blooming and I was finding out that most students didn't care or know about Urban Homesteading -- or even anything environmental or sustainable.   There's always the usual small but core group of students who were into changing the world and activism but we knew we had to reach to the others in the class that might not even have a first thought about the food they ate or about gardening.

At the family meeting / lunch following the invite, Dad turned to me (since I have unofficially become the tech geek / "electronic gadget whisperer" of the family ) and inquired about a video slideshow we had put together for a virtual tour of the Urban Homestead called "One Step at a Time."  This video brochure had been published on our website at the time  since it was first uploaded in 2004 (soon to be uploaded to YouTube for kicks).

As I am not a video editor and had no training at all, my foray into  messing about with video clips had been a sink or swim experience.   After mucking about in Adobe Premier, I had managed to put together some footage that resulted in One Step at a Time and that short film seemed pretty cool when it was made; but I was now slightly embarrassed about it and wanted to give Dad something newer and peppier for the students.

Anais and I got to work in those three days before the presentation.   We had multiple tapes of footage of the garden, animals and various projects throughout the yard but very little of ourselves.  So, I spliced those with some of the news media interviews for a  narrative effect.

I really wanted to do little interviews on our  own footage; but given the short amount of time and our aversion to being filmed by one another, it just wasn't happening. (NOTE: Seriously, I did try.  I approached Justin with a camera as he did his biodiesel brewing and asked him in  my best TV reporter voice to explain what was doing.   I received an  "are you kidding me?" stare for my troubles.  Turns out, it's hard for  us to be enthusiastic about giving each other interviews.  Try explaining to someone who already knows what you are doing, what you are doing.  It isn't easy. )

For fun and to appeal to the college kids who were my own age, Anais and I added in some well known musical favorites to create a edgy  mash-up type music video.

Turns out, as R.E.M's moody guitar in "Drive" snapped up the students' attention at  the first minute to the final frame of the fist-in-the-sky rallying  image and the drumming strains of "Revolution Cry", we had gained this class' full focus and subsequent and  enthusiastic ovation and shouts.   Yes, even the too-cool-for-school jocks of UCLA's NCAA basketball team were into it.

Later that week, we decided to publish Homegrown Revolution on YouTube (cut to 10 minutes since YouTube wouldn't allow videos of  longer lengths at that time) and it kind of went viral for a time and gained over 500,000 views.

We started to use Homegrown Revolution for an intro to Jules Dervaes' workshops and presentations and considered it a type of "video brochure" or "infomercial" to Urban  Homesteading.  Fast forward to late 2008 and we received a phone call from the awesome  folks at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival asking if we wanted to  submit our film for consideration.

I seriously had no idea what they were talking about!   Film?  What film? We don't have a film, I thought.

They soon convinced us that they were really asking for Homegrown Revolution which one of their members had seen on YouTube.  This touched off a flurry of more video editing.  Since the original version contained a lot that was not our footage, we began to re-shoot a lot of scenes and I soon had Homegrown Revolution up to over 25 minutes long.  But because Wild & Scenic had accepted Homegrown  Revolution into their program as it appeared on YouTube, we knew we  had to keep it to 10 minutes.

In the end, the final product came out  at 15 minutes after we all refused to cut out anything more.  There was also concern from some of Film Festival folks about remaking  Homegrown Revolution so much that it would no longer feel like the  original version so we felt a little restricted in our creativity.     I did try to obtain the rights to some of the footage / interviews that appeared in the original version but with so little time to  remake the film, it turned out easier to just re-speak most of it  instead of dealing with all the paperwork.    Again, all this had to  be done in a short amount of time - definitely not enough time to be at one's full creativity.

Unfortunately, although most of our words as they appear in the 2009  version of Homegrown Revolution had been spoken to interviewers  previously, it was hard getting family members to say the same lines  with enthusiasm and with the same passion as they had when speaking to  someone "new" and curious to what we were doing.  Looking at the film today,  I can see all the mistakes and where it could all have been better.

But this was a collaborative project done by all of us -- with each family member taking part in the filming, editing and structure of the film.  Neither of us had any previous film editing / filming experience but we hope the passion and enthusiasm show through any technical flaws and other problems.

It's also important to note that the film was made entirely in-house on computers powered by solar/green sources.  All transportation was done in a biodiesel-fueled car and all camera/mic batteries were rechargeable and charged with solar energy.  Waste was kept to a minimum – paper composted or recycled and all publicizing materials printed  on post consumer paper.

We are humbled by the impressive impact Homegrown Revolution had in  the film festivals both nationally and internationally. It  was never created for a film festival circuit but has a true homegrown, homemade story behind its creation. Today,  whenever I am frustrated by learning something new or seeing where I fail in trying to get something perfect, I just need to look at where our little film that could has taken us.

Pssst...!

Sharp eyed or observant readers might notice we now have a new YouTube address:  http://www.youtube.com/urbanhomestead

We'll still have the http://www.youtube.com/dervaes one but we might FINALLY be getting into sharing how-to videos.  We are launching this new channel for video clips showing snippets of life from the Urban Homestead as well as some how-to videos.

So be sure to subscribe to this new channel to get all the latest videos - thanks!

Looking back on our goals from last year Justin (Jethro) got his fish project underway,  the grey water project too.

Jordanne (Ellie Mae) revamped our two social networks, Freedom Gardens and launched Backyards & Barnyards and did get around to organizing a lot of mess.  Not to forget the launced her super amazing Natural Poultry Supplement Mix which is receiving rave reviews!

As for me (Granny),  the mountain of fabric and yarn still looms like a huge shadow but the craft-music room is coming along nicely.  Not sure if I am talking less and listening more – guess I’ll have to ask my family & friends that.

The 7K bonanza harvest wasn't the only highlight from 2010

We went back to Wild & Scenic located in the quaint mountain town of Nevada City and had a chance to meet our favorite author, John Robbins.  Had a workshop at the Eco Farm conference in lovely grounds Asilomar (didn't get to spend as much time on the beach as we'd like since it was soooo cold and rainy!).   Not to mention numerous articles and video pieces which all were featured here on the blog – our favorite being the recent So Cal Connect piece , I am Los Angeles , Private Chefs of Beverly Hills,  Sis and I were "Cover Girls" & with an article featured in this online magazine and I wrote about my home school experience for another

Our home made film "Homegrown Revolution" won  many awards including : Best Environment & Ecology Film North America - Swansea International Film Festival, U.K.; Prize of the Mayor of the Capitol City of Slovakia - Ekotop Film Festival of Sustainable Development, Slovakia; Best Short Documentary - Southern Appalachian International Film Festival, Tennessee; Honorable Mention: Westpac Award Best Short Film - Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival, New Zealand.  (You can purchase a DVD copy)

We traveled to back to the homestead in New Zealand where I was born (more pics and tales to come) and with our biggest turn out ever to a presentation on urban homesteading!

After the New Zealand trip: Other outreach opportunities included four university appearances by "Farmer D" and a presentation for a public school district's student gardens fundraiser.

On the urban  homestead

Keeping it real.  As with any journey, we had our ups and downs.

Passing of dear old Clementine (the poster chicken & darling of the UH movement) and our duck Amy after freak accident which never fully recovered from.

The cycle of life continued, Though there were sad deaths there was new life with four additions to our flock.  Our southern belles  - Annalee, Lulu Belle, Beulah and Opal.

Pushing the envelope in urban sustainability we added new projects:  hops for beer and 50 tilapia for aquaponics fish farming and wrote about the challenges that we face of growing food in the city.

Wrote about necessary Urban Homestead apparel and "Natural Beauty, "  "Homesteader Hygiene", & Living Without AC,  Washing Clothes by Hand & threw an amazing  "Girlie" Tea Party under $50!

Long time customer, Elements, who featured our many of our homegrown items on his menu unceremoniously dumped us (having money issues)   When one door closed, it opened up our produce to the public with the launch of the Front Porch Farm Stand featuring local foods and goods.

Weather continued to be a problem with a record heat wave in October & record rainfall in December

Though we had one of our best honey harvest in years, Varroa Mites (and early cold weather) wiped out all of our of beehives except one.

I dropped the ball on the Weekly Meal wrap ups (sorry readers) posts but I picked up guitar which I am enjoying relearning – well, except for the sore finger tips.   Ouch!

There you have it!  Some of the highlights of 2010,  I know I just touched the tip of the ice berg otherwise I’d be here all day.

So what our plans/goals for 2011?   That’s certainly a good question and a lot to digest ….  we do know are going to have sadly terminate some projects because of the lack of support.   It’s a bitter pill to swallow put sometimes you got to cut things that are weighing you down.  I’m talking to myself here… have to keep saying that!

Also like to thank all of you readers who have supported us via donations or purchases from our online store.    Not to mention all the wonderful letters, cards and emails.   THANK YOU!

While I try to shake off a awful case writers block, if you are new or a lurker to this blog, this is a good time to swap howdies or better yet TELL US what your FAVORITE post(s) of 2010 were!

So pull up a chair and give us a holler ya hear and hope 2011 is off to a good start for you!

You know that old saying "Self sufficient is as self sufficient does." Ok, not really old but a new take on Gumpisms.

How can we be "self sufficient" on only 1/10 of an acre (if an acre is $1.00 we are growing our groceries on 10 cents)? Yeah, pretty amazing, huh?

Although we grow 99% of our fruits and veggies, we still are in need of the basic staples. As I say in our short film Homegrown Revolution "we are directly and indirectly self sufficient" The surplus veggies, herbs, honey, fruit, eggs that we sell go to buy staples that we need like flour, grains and oil (Check at "Eating Down the List"). In essence ,we are living off the land here on our tiny plot in the city. Both the majority of our food and sustenance comes from just under 4,000 sq ft of garden. We are city farmers that care for and tend to this patch of earth.

One reader had a question:

I would really be interested in your blogging on your blog about how your family manages the homestead finances. How the bills are paid, if there are any; do all of you get a paycheck for your own personal spending; what is the cost for all of your seeds; do you keep your sales of your produce separate from your honey; etc. I, myself, would like to be more self-sufficient and I am just interested in how you manage. Thank you for your consideration in this question - CW

Good question!

Our front porch farm stand keeps our till full of bills. Thanks to extensive energy and water conservation practices our utility bills are quite low

• Water is $600 a year
• Electricity $7 a month / Gas averages about $15
• View updated Stats and Graphs from the Urban Homestead

We prefer to pay cash for groceries that we don't grow.

We work for our food, so no we don't actually get a paycheck but we do get paid in the most amazing tasting produce on this planet (ok, so I am a little biased).

Justin is chief financial officer and does a good job at keeping track of all the business expenditures. As for personal spending, each spends at his/her own will and discretion. Not that we need much "personal stuff" because we are pretty simple folks (Justin has only TWO pairs of shoes - boot and utility sandal); but what we do like to spend our money on are things for the urban homestead and sometimes we do get carried away!

I wrote a lengthy post a few years back answering a reader's question about our family budget (if you follow each hyperlink there are certainly some gems written in this here blog !)

Urban Pioneering Lifestyle

The post's ending sums our lifestyle up the best : ""We are happy!"

Though we haven't posted much in the way of the ongoing impact our little film has had, we are happy to report that our homemade film is still growing strong.

Our short film, Homegrown Revolution (you can buy the DVD here) will be screening at home and abroad.

International Christian Film Festival – UK (Aug 3 – 7)
The Heart of England International Film Festival (Aug 10 – 15)
International Film Festival Ireland (Sept 4 -11)
37th International Fest of Sustainable Development - EKOTop Film, Bratislava, Slovakia (Oct 10 – 15)
International Film Festival USA – Ohio (Oct 12 – 16)
Southern Appalachian International Film Festival (Oct 27 - Nov 14)
International Film Festival South Africa (Nov 1 – 5)

As urban homestead ambassadors, we are hoping to perhaps follow our film. Can't be at all the venues, but it's quite POSSIBLE there's chance we could attend the Appalachian Film Festival in Erwin, Tennessee.

Arrangements/plans are in the works.

Sowing the Revolution

Over the years, we have received lots of invites, and we'd love to go and meet other people and share knowledge, but we have to cover expenses. We accept trips that people have helped with travel expenses, etc... even an extra room for us to crash in or a place to camp.

If we can link several people together and have some paid presentations, the expenses and room and board (meals) can be spread out between multiple groups so no one person has to foot all the bill.

On the JulesDervaes.com website (here's an OVERVIEW), there is a form for people to fill out who want us to travel to their area. If we can group a lot of people together who are willing to do the "leg-work" and all the arrangements, it makes it easier for us to leave the farm for a short time. It's not that we prefer the places we have visited over other places; it those trips were arranged by the hosting groups, and we didn't go into debt to travel there.

In New Zealand, the people who invited us expected only about 50-80 people to attend the presentation...nearly 220 people came and the organizers made more money than they expected.

"The New Brighton Project was lucky enough to have the opportunity to host Jules Dervaes and his family when they recently visited New Zealand. While here, Jules Dervaes presented the workshop Urban Self-Sufficiency- Eating and Living the Sustainable Way in one of our community centres.

His film, Homegrown Revolution, and presentation was very well received. Highly professional, the format was also simple enough that even a novice could 'take something home'.

The power of community was really seen on the day. Such was the popularity of the Dervaes family and the success of modern social networking!

We thoroughly enjoyed having the Dervaes family be a part of our community for a day and would recommend anyone who had the chance to do the same."

-- Rebecca

That reminds me, got to write and share pics from our New Zealand trip!

Last, but not least, there are TWO upcoming TV pieces. One is supposed to air on the Australian SBS TV program DATELINE and the other on MY GENERATION (PBS) produce by KCET's own Val Zavala. We'll keep you posted on both air dates.

Well, there you have it! That's the most recent news from the homefront.

Don't forget to leave us a comment if you are in any of these areas ya hear!

It came as a shock to us, so much of a shock we wondered if there was some sort of mistake!

How could our little short film win BEST Environmental  & Ecology Film of North America ?    Are you sure it wasn't "Short Film" or "Student Film?"

We are thrilled to announced (after we checked for any misprints) that Homegrown Revolution won Best Environment & Ecology Film – North America at the highly esteemed Swansea Bay Film Festival UK

"We, the Jules Dervaes family, are first and foremost gardeners and urban homesteaders, and we wanted to tell the story of our earth care journey, Path to Freedom.

We are ecstatic that Homegrown Revolution has won the prestigious award of Best Environment & Ecology Film–USA and would like to thank all those involved in making this possible: Patron Catherine Zeta Jones; Festival Director Roger Lawrence Williams; the Festival jury; and many others.

Thank you for this special recognition, which will result in a larger audience becoming interested in how they can change their world through this message of freedom."

Purchase your DVD copy - share with family, friend and folks in your community, inspire to be the change.    Never doubt that a small film can have such a huge impact.

FYI: Just to clear up some confusion.  The DVD version that we are selling is NOT the one and the same as the YouTube version.

We'll be hitching up the wagon and traveling a few hours south to attend.

Sunday, June 6, 2010  10 am - 4 pm
Cotton Wood Creek Park, Encinitas CA

We kick off the year,right back where we started last year at the best environmental film festival in the West Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Here's a blurb from their latest e blast:

Our Favorite Family is Back
Pasadena's Dervaes Return with a New Film
& (JUST ADDED!) Workshop

Last year, Jules Dervaes and his family, were the rockstars of WIld & Scenic. This Pasadena crew are urban homesteaders and subject of this year's documentary, Homegrown (Saturday, eve in the Nevada Theater and Sunday afternoon Stone Hall).

Jules, Jordanne, Anais, and Justin speak with the film on Saturday night -  and JUST ADDED - host a workshop called, "Homegrown Revolution - The Path to Sustainable Living in the City", on Sunday 12-1:30pm at City Hall. This is an informal discussion about the family's adventures in growing their own food (as much as 3 tons a year from 1/10 of an acre garden!), generating their own solar electricity, making their own biodiesel fuel from waste vegetable oil, and raising 'citified' farm animals. Free to the public, and donations requested and appreciated.

Geez, that's a bit over the top....

Anyhow!

From the pine scented Sierra Nevada's we head down to the beautiful northern coast of Monterey and the largest farming conference in the west -- which is SOLD OUT!

We'll be rendezvousing with farming friend Sergio at the far, conference, there's even a chance we are to meet the John Robins family Not to mention, we hope to see many of you too!

The weather is expected to be rainy, but hopefully the sun will peek thru just a bit to give us a change to enjoy some downtime on the beach.

Photos and stories from our travels when we get back.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people:  those who work and those who take the credit.  He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.  ~Indira Gandhi

Deselected Because of Principles

Unfortunately, we won't be traveling to Sonoma Film Festival due the fact that the screening of Homegrown Revolution was going to be used to promote businesses and organizations for their gain at our family's expense.

In fact, we asked the organizers to respect the non-commercial nature of the film. They, in turn, opted to keep the commercial format of the session, de-selecting the film and canceling our appearance instead.

Like a farming friend said, "Their loss!"

So here's the updated schedule (lots of new venues have been added!) hope to see/meet many of our Northern California readers on our travels up north.
