Walking further south down the path in Hofborg, Village you will come to a stone well from which local residence and shop owners draw their water. In front of the well is the Farmer's Market with goods sourced from local farmers and gatherers of the village. There are seasonal vegetables and fruit as well as imported fruits from warmer regions. Food is available for purchase on-site and at prior request, special items can be ordered that are harder to come by, at a fair price. We keep grains, barley, and wheat on the shelf, as well as wild rice.

Tinder Lane Gate

Tucked in right beside the Farmer's Market is the gate leading to TinderLane,a small cul de sac consisting of various workshops. The small-scale neighborhood is home to many tinkers, smiths and tanners who are not welcome in any abundance in the town proper due to the potential for explosions, burning embers and noxious fumes.

The Bunkhouse
