The farm land would hold crops of barley and wheat and oats .
Farming and feilds were crucial to Abigail's sustainability . She also rented small strips of land to her farmers to work and make their own money.Her town was small but it still needed vast amounts of food to keep her people healthy and well taken care of . She alloted quite of money for any equipment they needed . She also kept the rent low for their own strips of land . But not so low that she would not make a profit . But low enough they could make a sustainable lifestyle for themselves and did not hold Abigail in an ill way when they thought of her .
The feilds we're divided into 4 main feilds with one feild being fallow each year.

Abigail's vineyards would be relatively small as she had a shorter rrowing season nor did she have the land to grow and sell wine her vineyards would be for personal use and perhaps given as a gift to guests or her yule staff parties .
