In our society growing food yourself has become the most radical of acts. It is truly the only effective protest, one that can–and will–overturn the corporate powers that be. By the process of directly working in harmony with nature, we do the one thing most essential to change the world–we change ourselves. Jules Dervaes
Founded by Jules Dervaes in 2001, Path to Freedom is a not for profit, family operated, viable urban homesteading project established to promote a simpler and more fulfilling lifestyle and reduce one family’s “footprint” on the earth’s dwindling resources. This project is slowly becoming legendary and is widely considered as a very successful model of functional organic farming-gardening.
Since the mid 80s all 5 members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked away at transforming their ordinary suburban block in Pasadena, California into an organic permaculture garden supplying them with food all year round. They also run a successful business providing salad greens to their local restaurants which funds their purchases of solar panels, energy efficient appliances, and biodiesel processor, to decrease further their homestead’s reliance on the earth’s non-renewable resources.
