Buttesthorne Farm (BUE-tes-thorne)

Buttesthorne Farm is home to Karzan Buttesthorne, a humble and somewhat successful farmer. The farm provides both livestock and crops:
Livestock

• Cows (milk and meat)
• Chickens (eggs and meat)
• Goats (milk and meat)
• Hogs (meat)
• Horses (labor and riding)

Crops

• Corn/Maize
• Winter Wheat
• Potatoes
• Stone Fruit (apples, cherries)
• Hay/Straw
• Garden Crops (seasonal)

The farm produces enough to share with surrounding towns (e.g., Phandalin) and other local farms, as well as some trade with the Elves at An Thavan.
The farm has been in the Buttesthorne family for several generations, having been orignially settled by Karzan' great-grandparents.
Karzan employs a handful of farm hands and workers, having no children of his own.

Alterations

The farm has been expanded over time by succeeding generations of the Buttesthorne family to its current size.

Architecture

The farmhouse is built in a traditional rural/farm style. The house has had some changes and modifications but remains mostly as originally constructed.

History

The farm was laid out and settled by the Buttesthorne family (Karzan's great-grandparents) in 717CT. The family had come north from the southern portion of Sgitheanach Dubh to make a new life and start a family. The area provided room for expansion without being directly near any major settlement. This allowed for freedom, privacy and quiet for the growing Buttesthorne family.
