# Food

After a day's hard work, squads need rest and nourishment to continue their efforts. Food is a valuable resource in itself, produced from various food-type resources by squads using[ buildings ](/game-mechanics/farming/buildings.md)and [tools. ](/economy/resources/construction/tools.md)Superior quality food can fetch higher prices in the [marketplace ](/game-mechanics/world-map/cities/city-buildings/marketplace.md)and is crucial for hero progression and maintaining armies during battles.<br>

* Grain is made by [Cooks](/game-mechanics/squads/squad-types/farming-squads/cooks.md) at the [Windmill](/game-mechanics/farming/buildings/building-types/windmill.md), it's used to create more refined food types or fed to livestock.&#x20;
