In the country of Quahog, we produce food mainly by growing it ourselves. Our many farms and open fields are filled with a variety of fruits and veggies for the bellies of our people. As well as many types of herbs and grain plants.
We have two main "Planting Days". One being in the late winter for crops that need more sunlight such as beans. And the other being in early Fall for the plants that thrive more in the cold such as lettuce. The way we plant them is a method unique to our country. We ask all the people 18 and above to help plant in all of the open fields (Farmers already own fields so they do this on their owns). We try to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Once the harvesting season comes around it gets a little more laid back. We congregate large groups to sweep the open fields filled with growing crops to find the ones almost ripe, ripe, or dead. We also give our residents the option to grow food at their own expense at their homes. If they do so they will be exempt from the "Seeding Days".
Though it may seem as if the second option is more popular, the people of our country are kind and appreciative of the food grown with the government's money. In some cases, the people who have their own little home gardens come to nearby fields and help harvest anyways. Here in Quahog, we are like one big family.
