"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.
For the past year, the local Crop Mob, mostly landless, self-proclaimed
farmers, has spent one Sunday each month "raiding" a small farm that is
not theirs, working the land and planting and harvesting crops."
