The Dervaes family produces up to 6,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables a year in their 4,300 sq. ft. backyard.

And here’s the best part… They live in Los Angeles between two big highways. Not out in the country. Not in a small town. But in the 2nd largest city in North America.

“Growing food is one of the most dangerous occupations on the face of this earth,” says Jules Dervaes, “Because you are in danger of becoming free…

“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!”

Here’s a ten-minute documentary about this “Little Homestead in the Bit City”:

If necessity arises, the Dervaes are living proof you can do this. Survival gardening isn’t fantasy. As long as you’re prepared.

Don’t wait for a crisis to happen to try and buy seeds. The seeds being sold at most garden shops are near worthless. They’ll produce one harvest and nothing more. Get what you need while you have the freedom to do so.
