In 2007, AVN magazine listed “Homegrown Video #1”, the brand's flagship title, as one of the 50 most influential adult video titles ever released, as it was responsible for creation of the amateur pornography genre in adult video. Swaim called the videos “Homegrown Videos” and rented them at his shop. The advancement of video cameras and VHS tapes allowed Greg Swaim, the store's owner, to begin filming real couples at his popular sex parties.
Homegrown Video was born out of the back room of a tiny mom and pop video store in San Diego, CA.
