We named ourselves “WeedPatch” after a government-run camp where Tom Joad and his family, homeless, find fellowship in John Steinbeck’s great novel, The Grapes of Wrath.


“HomeAid is a national non-profit organization with the unique, often challenging mission to communicate. Scott Hays and Roger Harvey of WeedPatch Productions used their talents and resources to tell our story through film and music. They took the time to research, to ask questions, and most importantly to listen. They captured every sector of this collaboration in a dynamic six-minute music documentary – Home Again. They pulled together exceptional talent from all aspects of the entertainment arena to produce a professional and compelling video that will help introduce our organization to a broader market. We couldn’t be more thankful for all of their personal dedication and the hard work they put into making this music documentary a success.”

"WeedPatch Recordings created a wonderful CD bringing together music by—and inspired by—homeless musicians. But they didn’t stop there: they pulled together engineers and production folks to make the finished product first-rate. And they produced a compelling companion DVD that told the story of the project. These two tools have helped Friendship Shelter raise needed funds and—even more important—have helped increase awareness of the issue of homelessness in Orange County. From start to finish, Scott Hays’ professionalism and heart made this project a winner for us and for the people we serve. We’re indebted to WeedPatch Recordings for the ‘Shelter Me’ project."
