Fresh water for drinking and cooking can come from mountain springs or a drilled water well (hand drawing water from the well using a cylinder well bucket). 2. The creeks and forest can provide fresh food (deer, squirrel, rabbit, and turkey). 3. Clearing land for agriculture can provide vegetable gardens, berry patches, fruit orchards, and row crops of corn, oats and barley. 4. Bee hives can provide honey and beeswax for candles and pollenate the fruit trees. 5. The forest can provide firewood for heating and cooking, lumber for building, maple syrup and pounds of nuts (walnuts, beechnuts and hickory nuts). 6. A vineyard could be created to provide jellies, jams, juices and wines. 7. Livestock can be raised including dairy cows, chickens, geese, turkey, rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs and cattle. Milk, cheese, eggs, meat, wool, leather, fur, feather pillows and down comforters can all be produced.
