When the coronavirus pandemic slowed things down for the Dervaes family, they discovered Ambrook, which helped them get crucial funding from the USDA. The Ambrook team visited the Urban Homestead in 2021 to learn more about their farm, and how they do so much on a small patch of land.

With a little help from Ambrook, the Urban Homestead was able to continue to feed its community.

"In our society growing food ourselves has become the most radical of acts. It is truly the only effective protest, one that can -and will - overturn the corporate powers that be. By the process of directly working in harmony with nature, we do the one thing most essential to change the world - we change ourselves."
- Jules Dervaes (1947-2016)
