Darnok Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Ol' Tuber was as cunning as he was greedy. His tavern made a solid profit already, but he wanted to expand his business. With Mesabi Landing growing, why not set up a shop for locally grown food? If only that would not need a farm and workers to pay - but no! Ol' Tuber had a better idea... Thus "Tuber's Shop'n'Farm" was born, combining a small farm with a shop that sold its produce on site. So far, so common. The special feature with this one was, that each customers would harvest for oneself. They would pick up what they wanted, and paid depending on crop and weight. No workers to be paid for Ol' Tuber, quite the contrary - he made the people pay for this "privilege". Silly cityfolks! Today some salad was on offer (this time gathered by the old man himself, sold for a premium), as well as fresh eggs. To attract as many different people as possible, Ol' Tuber also sold his very own home-distilled schnapps (a family recipe, based on taters and some secret ingredients...). There were many different crops available - salad, pumpkins, beetroot, onions, carrots and of course taters. On top of that, chicken provided fresh eggs daily (and the occasional chicken...). Some dulouryberry bushes had been added just recently, but grew well - always a favourite with the kids! And finally, some imported goods were also up for sale, mostly apples and bananas. Both were popular, but did not grow well on Argentia. . . ============================================================================ Licensed as a large artisan for Mesabi Landing. I wanted to do something like this for a while, and despite the current heat I got it finally done. Yet another "boring" plantation was not what I had in mind, so I reduced the size of the "farm section" and included as many different crops as possible, while making the shop the focal point of the build. Around here this concept is pretty popular: gathering produce on your own, then directly buying it from the landowner/producer. As always, C&C are appreciated.

LM71Blackbird Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Nice build you got here! I like the sectioned off areas of crops and the building helps break up the flatness of farmland. Also, I like that chicken coop! Edited August 3, 2018 by LM71Blackbird Quote

Bodi Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 It's surprising to see WTC engaging in some farming tasks, rather than routine dynamiting and sabotage. Quote
