Dusken had grown a little bit of wheat, carrots, potatoes, as well as some pumpkins and melons. Most of what she collected from the farm went to the inn, though she did take some of it to her home. (20% maybe?) If it's still there, she may (with Lyr's help) take it to the inn to share with everyone.
OOCly, I'd put the wheat in the kitchen, because I have no idea how to actually handle giving it to Spy to turn into flour.
The mushrooms, and some of the other misc fruit or whatnot was most likely gathered. Mushrooms i think keep for awhile? So should be good still. The fruit would have been dried, to keep.
I think there's way too many eggs in there for them to be all wild and gathered, so I they'll probably have to go.
The wheat can probably be renamed to flour, and a lot more of the fruit, if not all of it, should be dried.
Would like to hear from Hutch on what Will's hunted too, so eventually we can just name things.
And who's gathering these mushrooms and misc. fruit?

In terms of herbs, the original 7 listed in the herbs thread under Non-Medicinal all count as herbs Lyrxi grew.
To re-list them:
Basil
Lavender
Mint
Parsley
Rosemary
Sage
Thyme
Since the change of housing and the larger garden, this list got properly extended to include 3 more herbs as actual homegrown ones, but due to the lack of proper time between having the garden ready and winter and for simplicity's sake, ginger is in a low amount while it was too late to grow Dill and Oregano to get any worthwile size of a batch from them. These 3 additions will (hopefully) become proper inclusions after winter has passed.

Also, to be honest with only two hunters as the supply of protein in the setting (Delfi does not contribute his stock to the town anymore, but even with him helping this point would remain the same) we'd be running out of meat very, very quickly here. Assuming everyone eats 4oz (133 grams) of meat (3oz being the required daily serving for a healthy adult to get all of their protein needs, 4oz being a rounder number for calculation purposes), we'd be going through almost 7 lbs (3 kg) of meat per day in the setting with the 27 mouths accounted for.
Average amount of meat you're going to get from large game is something like 60 lbs (27.2 kg) of meat from a fully grown white tail buck, 30 lbs (13.6 kg) from a healthy doe, 15 lbs (6.8 kg) from a fawn.
Average amount of meat from small game like rabbit is really going to be around 1-3 lbs (0.4 kg - 1 kg) of meat.
Two or even three hunters can't cut feeding this setting. Without ranches or shepherd with cattle villages like ours in the setting can and -will- starve. One full grown hog gives you around 160 lbs (72 kg) of meat if you want to compare that to your wild deer. One full grown cow will give around 430 lbs (195 kg) of meat after butchering.
Granted, there are larger game out there. Like Moose, mammoth breeds of stags that give hundreds of pounds of meat like that, but are they even common in the setting?
We need ranchers, tl;dr, and we should have starved by now.
160 divided by 7 is roughly 23, 365 divided by 23 is roughly 16.
So we'd only need sixteen hogs to survive winter, on the old time method, and now that time is only going by at half that speed we'd only need what, 8???
Long story short, we've got plenty of meat by your standards, 3ll. More then we could need.
