Clean and green - Inspiring urban farm grows an astonishing three tons of produce a year on a mere 1/10 of an acre

With food prices steadily rising over the last several years, by as much as five percent, families are scaling back and going without many staples just to put a meal on the table. Or worse, resorting to 'bargains' like fast food specials, subsidized SNAP junk food or just plain instant noodles to fill a hungry belly. We have reached the point where self-sufficiency is not a luxury any longer, it's a real necessity. In response, many are carving out a small homestead niche, even in the middle of lively cities. An encouraging example is found with a micro-farm in the heart of Southern California.

Individuals are waking up to these realities and taking matters into their own hands -- not only growing their own food, but removing themselves from the grid as much as possible, even within the bounds of a bustling city.
