Sharable: "'I'm tired of sitting in meetings just talking about things. It feels like a waste of my time. Why can't we go out and work while we meet rather than just sitting around a table?' Frase believed you could build stronger relationships with people by working side by side rather than just sitting around a table talking. Her fellow farmers agreed. 'The idea emerged that we'd come together to build community, help each other out, and share a meal,' explains Rob Jones, one of the farmers in attendance that October night. 'We decided we'd call it the Crop Mob.'" I like the idea, but I think that unless you're working locally, with people who know each other, it's a lot harder to set up than it looks.
