Hiking
Each colonist farm had access to approximately three hectares of land, which was cultivated, sown, and harvested under the supervision of the Company. Initially, buckwheat was primarily cultivated, as this crop thrived even on nutrient-poor soil. Due to the need for crop rotation, numerous small fields later emerged, growing crops such as rye, buckwheat, potatoes, oats, and barley. Adjacent to the farm, each farmstead had a vegetable garden for its own use.
