Tristan da Cunha Farming https://www.tristandc.com/economyfarming.php, 16 March 2019 All Tristanians are farmers. Potatoes are the principle crop, grown at The Patches, and cattle and sheep are the main livestock, with numbers controlled to prevent overgrazing. |
Tristan da Cunha Sheep and Woollen Industry https://www.tristandc.com/economywool.php, 1 June 2005 Sheep are farmed both on the mountain Base and the lowland plain. Their wool is hand spun for knitting. Stuffed roast mutton is Tristan's favourite Christmas dish. |
