Modern Pioneers

Our highly productive Urban Homestead project is now widely considered a successful one-of-a-kind model for sustainable agriculture and living in an urban environment.

Our family home, the Urban Homestead, has been featured on thousands of blogs, dozens of TV shows (CNN, National Geographic & Sundance Channel , CBS News, ABC Nightline, Oprah and many more) and hundreds of print articles, including, LA Times, NY Times, Times of India, and Faz – just to name a few.

Since 2001, our blog “Little Homestead in the City,” has shared first-hand stories of our family’s struggles and joys, defeats and successes on our homesteading journey.

We hope that by documenting our personal experiences we can offer encouragement to those who are striving to live a simpler, more self-sufficient lifestyle and create a new model for urban living.
