My food source (single berry bush) got wiped when I first started the game and everyone died. This is my 4th try (1st time registered version) and I've become VERY conservative on the berry bush.
Although I can farm now, I still make sure there are plenty of berries on my berry bush. Not only is it a great start for my 14 year olds to get a beginning skill at farming, but it saved me from this horrible drought I had on my farm. Thank the island gods for the berry bush.
