Gardens of Vegetables

Regardless of the type of village, you will always find large gardens made of up carrots, potatoes and wheat. It is the job of the villagers to plant and harvest these vegetables. As the crops mature, you will see villagers running around tending to these gardens and digging up the vegetables.

You can stock up on food by digging up these items yourself and adding them to your inventory. You can also find a composter along the edge of the these gardens.

Chests to Find

Finally, look for a home within the village that has stone slab on the roof. This is the home of an armorer, weapon smith, or tool smith.
