| Emilio Estevez with his chickens |
I was watching the Charlie Rose show on PBS today with actor father and son Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez and I learned that Emilio has a vineyard on one acre in his backyard in Malibu, CA. He just started tearing up their lawn and started planting. He also has chickens, bees, a worm farm, and a large vegetable gardens. How cool is that? I love that he is only using 1 acre.
I found a few articles with pics of his place I thought I'd share. Bon Appetit did a story on his farm. It says an acre, in theory, is capable of producing 30 to 40 thousand dollars' worth of food. Looks like I need to make more use out of our yard if that's true!

| Emilio Estevez in his hothouse |
Great pics, but not sure why he'd not a "hothouse" in Hawaii? And you could probably grow huge amounts of food, in a year-round tropical climate...
ReplyDeleteGood question Nancy. Actually, I've been meaning to update this posts, as I noticed an error. He actually lives in Malibu. I thought he said he lived in Hawaii, but realized while watching the show "Who do You Think You Are?" with his father Martin Sheen that he actually lives in Malibu. I updated this post with a link to the shows site if you want to watch it. They briefly show Emilio's homestead. Thanks for the comment!
