Obviously there is limited agriculture in colder areas. You could limit crop types for realism, but I'd suggest a greenhouse instead. I think a crop limited animal focused farm with simple living could be a really cool challenge.
Yeah I'm wondering how I would have them have animals if it's always snowing. Maybe I could create sheltered areas. But I'm not sure if the sheltered areas would still have snow as it wouldn't make sense to have the animals walking in the snow but if creating some sheds would create a grassy area then that would work.
I also realized maybe rice fields with ponds would look cool but we don't have rice as a harvestable unfortunately but I think I would be able to find a custom rice harvestable. Same as someone made custom wheat which I will use to make flour as I don't like that we will have to buy stuff like flour, sugar, and animal feed.
I think it does make sense to have them walk in the snow. Especially the large animals. There are cows pretty well everywhere and my neighbors keep them pastured rain, snow, or shine. Plus llamas are very hardy.
I can kind of see the point with chickens, though. I've got a flock and they're pretty notorious for hating snow. Then again some will get out in it. Chickens have breeds for cold and hot temperatures like dogs, though. I have a specific breed, the Russian Orloff, that is very good in cold weather. So I definitely think they can make sense.
