Have you seen this article in the Independent Weekly about the Crop Mob? Great stuff as usual from the folks at the Indy. We've been working with the Crop Mob for the past few months. In fact, the first Crop Mob in Wake County took place at the Food Shuttle Farm in September. They helped us plant our fall garden. The article talks to Steven Horton about his involvement with the Crop Mob. Steven helps with our community gardens and at the Food Shuttle farm. Watch Steven talk about what he does at the Food Shuttle, the Crop Mob and more in the video below. And if you want to lend a hand with our gardens and farm, check out our Crew Call here.
This weekend's special Crew Call, Potluck and more!

This is a very special Crew Call in cooperation with the Raleigh Crop Mob’s first Work-Action at IFFS Farm (see map directions below). Raleigh Crop Mob is building on the Crop Mob model developed by young farmers and Local Ag. Activists in Orange and Chatam Co. to assist local farmers with “spontaneous” volunteer work days. Raleigh Crop Mob will meet once a month on a different local farm to work. learn and eat together. An evening meal will be provided by Food Shuttle at 6:30. Participants are encouraged to bring musical instruments for a jam session after dinner. Please RSVP to CropMob Coord. Steve Horton so we will know who to expect for dinner! steven.p.horton@gmail.com
