Family Grows 6000 Pounds of Food on 1/10 Acre Urban Homestead

As Chiropractors many of us grow our own food. Everything from tomato containers on the porch to having full acres of food. Learn how this family consistently grows 6,000 pounds of food per year on their 1/10th acre urban farm that’s just a stone throw away from a major highway and only 15 minutes away from downtown Los Angeles.

The family is generating $20,000 a year in front porch sales to locals selling their organic grown food right from their property. Especially to local chefs for restaurants nearby.1

Think about it. That means a family with an entire acre can possibly do over $200,000 per year selling their crops. And now they’re teaching others how to do it, too.1

The family’s utility bill is up to $12 per month thanks to their solar panels. In addition, they provide themselves with their own recycled ‘gasoline’ (used cooking oil) thanks to local restaurants who deliver it to their front door.1

“The Dervaes family grows over 400 species of plants, 4,300 pounds of vegetable food, 900 chicken and 1,000 duck eggs, 25 lbs of honey, plus seasonal fruits throughout the year.”1
