|QuestionText=hi! so after reading through [https://enochlesis.dreamwidth.org/4871.html?thread=2022407#cmt2022407 this] and taking a peek at the businesses page, i was wondering how likely can an augmented find employment with little dream acres? if the likelihood isn't zero: <br><br>( <small>1.</small> ) what kind of produce will phainon be able to cultivate, assuming that something like starter seeds may be provided to him, hopefully, lol. ( <small>2.</small> ) he wouldn't keep it for himself and will simply give it away as gifts to acquaintances/friends, but also wondering if phainon would be able to keep a small portion of what he'll assist in growing? ( <small>3.</small> ) is wheat a thing that can be grown on karterian land? also, i know pomegranates were asked about, but if someone were to possibly get their hands on that uncanny equivalent and attempted to plant its seeds somewhere, will it result into anything? like even more uncanny pomegranates....... ( <small>4.</small> ) would karterian farmers trust augmented with the task of collecting their wayward livestock?<br><br>i'm aware most of these are silly, but i also rather not presume too much of the setting/npcs. 🙏

|AnswerText=<p>Characters may seek employment with Little Dream Acres. In fact, they fulfill a fantastic niche. Those who work in the fields who are Karterian risk life and limb through this kind of employment; it pays decently, but people who make a career out of tending the fields inevitably end up sick. An Augmented One wouldn't face the same troubles; an Augmented One would be capable of being more reckless, able to exit barriers at their leisure.</p>

<ol>
 <li><p>Many tubers are available. Cabbages, lettuce, beets, peas, zucchini, tomatoes, wheat, barley, apples, onions... Crops that <i>can</i> grow in something vaguely [https://www.plantwhatwhen.com/usa-zone-8b.html zone 8b] ~ [https://www.plantwhatwhen.com/usa-zone-7a.html 7a] are viable plus more, if special care's taken (such as: using a greenhouse).</p>

<p>We're more inclined to say that existing crops may exist, but more <i>tropical</i> plants that could never grow in those colder zones (pineapples) aren't something Little Dream produces specifically. ...Are the seeds available elsewhere? Strangely, yes! Though they won't be commonplace, may be of questionable age, and questionable quality. Expensive? Absolutely. (But Little Dream won't have pineapple seeds. Sad...)</p></li>

 <li><p>Phainon may be allowed to keep a portion of what he grows, but they'd expect him to really put in the legwork to earn that kind of privilege. Food's scarce; it's worth more than the pay during some times of the year, such as winter.</p></li>

 <li><p>Wheat can be grown, yes. The weird pomegranates... can be planted, and more Weird Pomegranates can be grown.</p></li>

 <li><p>At this point in time, Karterian farmhands may indeed trust Augmented with the task of collecting wayward livestock. In fact, they may find they're the best at it. Carnivora dogs, will you herd the sheep... please... But since they're more equipped to venture into non-protected areas, why, there's another niche for Augmented Ones right there! Farmhands have relied on their Calling magic to deal with their livestock, but that has a finite range and can be difficult and taxing...</p></li>
