In 19th-century Slovenian rural communities, it was customary for neighbours to support each other during times of hardship. One documented practice involved assisting families during harvest seasons. If a household faced illness or other challenges preventing them from gathering crops, neighbouring families would come together to help with the harvest, ensuring that no family suffered from food shortages.
