Have you heard the wonderful story about how, over twenty years, one family in Pasadena, CA has transformed their property from an urban home into a lush, productive urban homestead? On their 1/10th of an acre lot, they are able to raise three tons of organic fruits and vegetables each year, and are exploring other forms of self-sufficiency, such as water conservation, food preservation, biodiesel production, solar ovens and alternative energy. They even have chickens, ducks, and goats!
