Since the mid '80s, Jules Dervaes and his son and daughters have steadily worked away at transforming an ordinary city lot in Pasadena, California into an integral urban homestead.
On this 1/5 acre urban homestead the Dervaes have set out to live by example and inspire others to do the same. They are striving to be a sustainable homestead complete with solar energy, waste water management, growing food, and more.
The Dervaes family shares the homestead with a menagerie of chickens, ducks, goats and a crazy trio of rescued cats.
