  21. If a member does not do the farm work that they promised to do • If a member does not pay the share of the farm cost they declared they would pay • If a member harvests more produce for their household than is socially responsible • If a member does not come to meetings to discuss their needs, and the needs of others in the community • If a member works on the farm without first coming to an understanding with the other farmers

  22. In short, if any of us goes against their own expressed will and intentions: The others can have no claim against them.The only thing that the others can do in these cases is to jump in, in order to prevent an eventual loss. Everything concerning the farm originates from the constantly renewed free will of the participants.
