Crop Mob
“Crop Mobs” of local volunteers descend on area farms and work on specific projects for which small farmers need extra labor to complete. Here in Ithaca, the local crop mobbers have helped with planting fruit trees and collecting unharvested food for local organizations. In return for their help, crop mobbers gain experience, knowledge, and, best of all, a delicious and locally grown lunch from the farmer. “Crop mob” events usually take place once a month at different farms in the region.
