Reciprocity from the farmers we have helped is greatly lacking. We are all busy, yes, but if we are to keep donating our labor, the labor pool must continue to snowball and include previous beneficiaries of that labor. On that end we can improve our pitch, farms can understand better what they are getting and everyone involved can get what they need out of the day." Reciprocity is what will keep this movement alive. The question is: what is a valuable reciprocation to Crop Mobs? What do *you* want to get in return for what you do? Making this easy to know will make it easier to seed and exponentially grow crop mob reciprocity into local food systems. There is an opportunity in what is written here:
