Homegrown Movie Premiere
Homegrown: The 21st Century Family Farm profiles the Dervaes family who run a small organic farm in the heart of urban Pasadena, CA. On less than a quarter of an acre and while living “off the grid,” the family harvests over 6,000 pounds of produce and makes their own bio diesel. The Twin Cities premiere will share this intimate portrait of the 21st Century version of the family homestead.
