Crop Mob was featured on NPR’s Marketplace last week. A favorite quote from the show was from first time crop mobber Jeffrey Bailey -
Our generation, and the generation behind us have this blatant sense of entitlement. I think we’re realizing that everything has come a little too easy for us. So putting our hands back and actually sweating a little bit is a lot more fulfilling than just being able to look something up on Google.
Wonderful articule… I love teaching kids the real origin of our food… the land!. Please, if you can allow me to share my farm blog, it will be very useful and important for us: http://www.ranchosanfrancisco.blogspot.com and we welcome student/volunteers at our home in central mexico (mexico city). Blessings for all, Daniel.
Just wondering why I don’t see any crop mob in Raleigh. I live downtown in an area that needs an organized garden with 2+acres right behind me owned by Raleigh rescue mission. I have a bike/skate/music coop idea (oak city station)that might pair well with the mob and this property. lemme know
I live in Matteson, Illinois. Are there farms close by where one can join? There are farms all around here but I never see any activity. I am from a country where farming is a matter of existence and it would be nice to be outdoors helping out.
