From their previous conversation, Ronin had already gained some understanding of the Purple Fruit Tribe's size.
Though the tribe had fewer than three hundred people, it exceeded his expectations. Including Jenny's family, the Purple Fruit Tribe had a total of 242 members and had cultivated 806 acres of farmland.
Aside from some vegetables, most of the land was used to grow barley and wheat.
The Purple Fruit Tribe had such a vast expanse of farmland primarily because it had been cleared back when their population was larger. At its peak, it was said that four to five hundred people lived here.
Now, with their numbers down to fewer than three hundred, their grain yield wasn't high, but they had relatively more to eat.
According to Jenny's estimates, this year's autumn harvest would yield over thirty thousand pounds of barley. Combined with the previously harvested wheat and stockpiled wild vegetables, the tribe should have no problem surviving the winter.
