Green Mountain Crop Mob is now part of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture, UVM Extension! You can enjoy our photos and news clips until August 30th, 2011, at which point we'll be retiring this site. Please visit CSA's website for the most current information about mobbing in Vermont!)

A crop mob is when a crew of volunteer farmers, farm workers, and eaters descend upon a farmer for a work blitz! Jobs can include weeding, greenhouse construction, harvesting, or any number of other jobs that can be done quickly and well by many willing hands.  It's a way to get involved with a farm, help out your friends, and share time with fellow agrarians. See this New York Times Article for more information about Crop Mobs in the southeastern United States. You can also find out more at this Blog. Green Mountain Crop Mob organizes mobs for Vermont and farms in towns near the Vermont border.
