Here we present a self-sufficiency resource center and on-going report on our urban "homestead" which we have been recently developing.  Since our aim is to break free from the system, we have taken some small steps in our yard and lifestyle to make it happen. Great goals, however, come at a great price. Thus, it has been a real, sweaty struggle to learn a new way of living. Things don’t turn out the way we want them to. The pace is so painfully slow and, most of the time, after moving three steps forward, we end up going back two. By showing what we are doing locally at our home in Pasadena, California we hope to prove that Living Free is possible one day. Until that time, we intend to offer encouragement with this website to all who desire to join us along the way, along the path to freedom.
