THE LITTLE FILM THAT COULD
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.
CLUTTER
“A place for everything and everything in its place.” As I’ve said many times before, one of the hardest challenges on an urban homestead is storage and organization.
Urban Homestead’s 2010 Year in Review
I know it’s a bit overdue (thanks to busy & rough start to the new year) and, honestly, I was putting it off because I am having a really BAD case of writer’s block…. but here it goes!

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.
