home-grown
From your garden
Home-grown describes things produced or raised locally rather than imported from elsewhere.
Vegetables from your garden are home-grown.
The term extends to people and ideas that originate in a particular place: home-grown talent, home-grown terrorism.
The implication can be positive (authentic, local) or negative (unsophisticated, amateur), depending on context.
