No need for it, a typical iron age city HAD a lot of garden and farming lands nearby, and even most walled towns since roman times had land INSIDE the city used for gardening, only the most densest slums hadnīt.

So yes I see this folks having a lot of knowledge about gardening and farming or preservation of food. Remember they hadnīt fridges or a supermarket, and most folk couldnīt afford buying all their food in a tavern. Or do you dine daily in a restaurant?

But my question would rather be were theyīve gotten the livestock and seeds from? Not to mention supplies and tools until first harvest and a smithy is build? Refuges as they are tend to cramp their ships with people and the last valuables not with such stuff. A gift from the king?
