Finally! The one request we hear the most from our fans, “when will you put the old titles out on dvd”, is getting answered. The Homegrown Erotic Amateur Project (HEAP) is underway. HEAP will take the mountain of original Homegrown Video titles and restore them to the best condition possible to distribute in DVD format and online at the www.homegrownvideo.com website and at www.homegrownstore.com .

All those fans of Deina in her heyday and Brandi in her anal ecstasy will revel in the glory days of amateur porn, way back when people just made homemade porn for the fun of it and not because they wanted to be the next Paris Hilton. Many of these titles have never been published online, only existing in the last millennium on that archaic medium called “videotape”. Rescuing these titles from oblivion and possible extinction has been deemed a matter of great historical and archeological significance. The pantheon of Homegrown titles record the enormous revolution of sexual style, social dynamics, and technological advances in erotic entertainment; to wit, preserving that resource for future generations is healthy for our nation and the empire of freedom.

Homegrown Video is the original amateur porn company, with a library that reaches all the way back to 1982 and spans the amateur porn niche to an unprecedented degree. Homegrown Video was declared by Newsweek Magazine to be “the longest running series in the history of porn.” Today, Homegrown Video distributes a wide variety of titles that cater to the amateur adult video niche in all its variety.

Author Eric Schlosser, who wrote the best sellers “Fast food Nation” and “Reefer Madness”, described Homegrown Video in the latter with these words: “Made by the people, for the people, Homegrown Video represents the democracy of porn”.  To this day, that description is one that fills us with a certain sense of pride and heritage, and continues to inspire us in our mission to offer authentic and patriotic amateur porn, which as much as ever still represents an essential freedom celebrating liberty and our right to pursue happiness – albeit of an erotic nature. There could be no more important basic way to express that freedom than through our sexuality which next to eating and sleeping and thinking is such a basic and essential part of life.  The right to express ourselves sexually and in a creative way personally and for the enjoyment of others is something that we feel absolutely precious about so obviously we have our own reasons for celebrating the 4^th of July with special enthusiasm and gusto.

This year Homegrown Video will celebrate the 4^th with a major site update that is sure to make our membership stand up and salute our eternally vigilant efforts to provide top quality amateur porn to a republic of fans that has shown over 25 years of loyalty and support.  We are finally restoring some classic sections from our previous site iterations as well as adding new sections that are sure to impress our audience with not only great freshly rendered amateur sex action but also enhanced ways to access the material and bond with other members of the community. The tireless efforts of our dedicated staff should  be saluted!

At this year’s AVN Awards Show, often referred to as the “Academy Awards of Porn”, Homegrown Video won the distinction of “Best Amateur Series” for its line named after a fruit long associated with virginity. “Cherries” won over judges and viewer’s hearts and other body parts with nice fresh amateur performers that are virgins to making sex videos and have lost none of their fresh faced innocence. Their real virtue lies in not having become jaded automatons whose every move, no matter how evidently sexual, becomes a boringly repetitious affair.

Homegrown Video was likewise honored with multiple nominations for other titles and series in its vast library. “Best Amateur Release” nominations included “Backyard Amateurs #15” and “Cherries #62” as well as “Well Hung Amateurs #11”. Nominations for “Best Amateur Series” praised “Backyard Amateurs”, “Cherries” (the winner), and “Well Hung Amateurs” and of course the industry legend “Homegrown Video”. Specialty series like “Deepthroat Virgins” and “Creampie Club” received nominations as well. Not only was Homegrown recognized by AVN, but other accolades fell to Homegrown Video when it was also honored by Adult DVD Empire for “Cherries #62” which proved to be one of top selling titles in its pantheon of titles.

Homegrown Video gloried in another triumphant moment when its president, the performer formerly known as Tim Lake gained induction to the Hall of Fame. Mr. Lake started making amateur videos in the early nineties for Homegrown and other companies before becoming the owner of Homegrown.

Homegrown Video takes great pride in its contributions to the world of adult entertainment. In 1982, the company revolutionized the world of porn by distributing homemade sex tapes that were sent in by regular people, folks that might be your neighbors, from all over the world. US News and World Report once stated, “Made by the people for the people, Homegrown Video represents the democracy of porn”.

Homegrown Video has declared every four days will be a bonus day for site updates. Bonus days will feature all the scenes from a never previously released Homegrown Video title, including the “Homegrown Presents” titles like “Sex Kittens”, “Big Breasted Amateurs” and more. Homegrown has prided itself on consistent daily picture and video updates for years but this now means Homegrown Video has again raised the standard for exclusive daily content to keep its membership happy. Most Homegrown Video releases contain four to six individual scenes, also known as “loops” or “vignettes”. Typically, each individual scene is released on a daily basis so the new bonus means a chance to check out a Homegrown release in its entirety. That mean more pussy licking, ass fucking, cream pie ending, and deep throat face fucking action than ever before.

Take a college graduate who is bored stiff of her corporate job at Nike but loves to get naked and decides to strip so she can have plenty of free time to enjoy life and what do you get? The perfect model for my pal Lincoln would be one answer, but the reason I am always so jealous of Lincoln would be another correct call!  Ariana likes to make her own sexy outfits and not only does she do custom work for her dancer friends but she has also been tagged to make clothes for some music videos. Hailing from somewhere up in the Rockies she must’ve been drinking that same pure water that makes Coors beer so loved because she is such a natural beauty and complimented with a highly activated sex drive… or as we like to say… born to porn. She appeared in a softcore scene a few years back for Hustler’s Barely Legal series but Homegrown gets the privilege of premiering her first hard core solo scene which features her playing with a couple of toys in her absolutely perfect pussy.

Homegrown Presents finally launched a series devoted to pleasantly plump and bounteously buxom models. “Curvy Amateur Girls” proves that amateur porn fans don’t just want to see puffed up and painted anorexic models pretending to have sex. Pure Play, the exclusive distributor of Homegrown’s lines, has seen solid sales for the series even during the typical down turn of sales. Homegrown’s president Tim Lake acknowledges “I am surprised that we have taken this long to come around to doing the series since all our Homegrown’s that featured buxom women sold really well and members have been requesting this kind of stuff on our website.

Homegrownvideo.com the flagship site of the company has added another huge batch of vintage Homegrown’s from the golden age of amateur porn. The titles, which go back to the early eighties from the last century have been restored and some are available for the first time ever on the site. These are the true blue amateur porn videos that in today’s more slickly produced “pro-am” market have become something of a rarity. Long time fans of Homegrown Video are thankful and new members have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the videos which have been carefully restored into a digital format from the original analog masters of the series.

Homegrown has also been mastering DVD versions of the series and has committed to bringing back all of the original series on DVDs which will only be available through Homegrownstore.com.
