Agriculture played a fundamental role in Viking society during the Viking Age, which spanned from the late 8th century to the early 11th century. The Vikings were primarily agrarian, relying on farming for sustenance. They cultivated crops such as barley, oats, and wheat, along with various vegetables like turnips, cabbage, and onions. Livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, were also crucial for their meat, dairy, and wool.
Viking farmers utilized simple iron tools like plows, sickles, and scythes for cultivation. The longhouses they lived in often had attached barns for housing animals and storing crops. The agricultural cycle was closely tied to seasonal changes, with planting in the spring and harvesting in the late summer or early autumn.
The availability of arable land and successful farming practices were essential for sustaining Viking communities. Agricultural productivity influenced population growth, trade, and even exploration as surplus resources could be used to support overseas ventures.
