Homegrown Video once again proves that it still has the amateur porn that fans and critics love. Taking “Best Amateur Series” for Cherries at the Adult Video News (AVN) awards in Las Vegas, as well as having a top viewed video on the AEBN video on demand system, Homegrown Video renews it claim to the heavyweight title of best amateur porn company in the world. Longevity has been an asset to the company; learning how to block the economic blows that have shaken the not so recession proof adult industry, Homegrown Video thrives where so many other companies have been knocked out of the business.

The AVN awards represents the adult industry’s biggest title fight where literally thousands of titles released in a year all compete for a shot at being named the best in their respective niche category. Homegrown Video has been a regular contender, but this marks the first big victory for the long running series which is devoted to sexy barely legal fresh faced amateurs. AEBN is a pioneer in VOD and maintains a huge library of XXX titles and is visited by millions of surfers per year. To be ranked by their highly demanding fans as one of the top titles for amateur sex is quite an honor. Homegrown president Tim Lake pays respect, “The fans are the most important critics of all since they spend their hard earned dollars and that is the most important vote of confidence we can receive.”

Homegrown Video is the original amateur adult video company, established in 1982. Recognized by Newsweek Magazine as the “longest running series in the history of porn”, Homegrown Video continues to thrive online, on cable television, and with wholesale and retail sales of its DVDs worldwide. The exclusive site for Homegrown Video’s immense library is www.homegrownvideo.com. Wholesale inquiries may contact Sales Representatives at Pure Play Media, 818.717.5355.

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”.
