Description:
Self-reliant living in the City
Since 1985 the Dervaes family have been pioneering a self sufficient life in the middle of the city. They believe the most radical thing someone can do is either grow their own food or make dinner at home. With this mission in mind, their community outreach was seeded in 2001, inspiring millions worldwide to take small steps towards a more sustainable life.
