Hello! My name is Jordanne. As a second generation Urban Homesteader, the Revolution has most definitely been HOMEGROWN.
​
I am a co-owner of the original Urban Homestead (Pasadena, CA) that was founded in 1986 and was the driving force behind the then unfamiliar concept of “Urban Homesteading” -- now a part of the modern vocabulary.
​
My family and I have continuously farmed this 1/10th of an acre plot and created a self-sufficient life. With over 20 years of long-term, provable success; our innovative urban micro-farm is widely considered the leading example of what eco-sustainable life should look like in the future.
​
I love to learn and because of that, I am a person of many skills and my unique upbringing has presented me with extensive experience as a life-long learner.
​
When I teach, I can't help but be passionate because I get to integrate my real life experiences with each presentation. I enjoy nature and all it has to offer. Coming from an agricultural background, I have been in tune with the rhythms of the natural world all of my life.
​
You will find that all of my long list of passions will be topics for what I love to share in the many ways I can. I am a big believer of sharing what has been “given” to me and I have taught in a variety of settings; educating all ages from five to ninety-five.
