ON Sunday, April 11 at 3pm, Southside Community Center, 305 S. Plain St,
The movie HOMEGROWN will be in conjunction with Gardens4Humanity, a local
grassroots community gardening initiative. A $2-$20 donation is requested and
will support gardening programs at Southside and in Ithaca’s neighborhoods.
Southside and Gardens4Humanity are hoping to inspire local gardening efforts in
order to address food access and health issues in our community. Discussion
will follow.
HOMEGROWN: The 21st Century Family Farm (www.homegrown-film.com) follows the
Dervaes family who run a small organic farm in the heart of urban Pasadena,
California. While "living off the grid", they harvest over 6,000 pounds of
produce on less than a quarter of an acre, make their own bio diesel, power
their computers with the help of solar panels, and maintain a website that gets
4,000 hits a day. The film is an intimate human portrait of what it's like to
live like "Little House on the Prairie" in the 21st Century.
"Vast tasks, calling for all the courage, discipline, dedication, and ingenuity
commonly associated with war, will have to be carried out if the majority of
humankind are to survive and enjoy a tolerable future" ---Robert Hart
