Right. The food situation can vary from flock to flock, especially for the weeds who do not have any fruit of their own.
[Which is where most of his concern comes into play.]
The weeds are not as organized as the flocks... so I feel it is more difficult for them to come by food, especially if they do not possess skills in hunting and gathering. Most of the flocks have been steadily storing food, I think. My own is quite fortunate, as we have three who can hunt, and we are raising quail for their eggs. There are a few gardens, too.
I cannot speak wholly to each individual flock, though. In the past, pipes burst and some of the flocks lost all of the food they had stored. So I think it is important to have food available to anyone who might need it.
[He has to think for a moment-]
As for our fruit, we have just been donating it to others. Food outside of that may vary. A couple of individuals have agreed to make pre-made meals from the resources they already have when they can afford it. Some dishes can be made by the fruits and veggies growing in the gardens or on barn property. Other things like flour must be harvested from cattails. A good deal of our food intake comes from hunting and fishing the animals outside of the pasture, though.
