The Independent profiles Crop Mob
2009 October 28
"On a sweltering Sunday last August, a peaceful mob of 35 local
farmers, armed with shovels, hoes and wheelbarrows, raided Serendip
Farm in Orange County.
But instead of a traditional raid, which is about taking, this raid
was about giving: The Crop Mob, as the group is known, spent five hours
cutting down starter crop, tilling beds, weeding and mulching—for free.

farmers, has spent one Sunday each month "raiding" a small farm that is
not theirs, working the land and planting and harvesting crops."
