Yes, the Incan did have farmers and are credited with having one of the most innovative farming methods and the most varied amounts of food grown amongst people in the pre-colonial age. Since the Incans lived in a largely mountainous area, their farming was much different than what would come to mind for anyone that lives on mostly flat lands. What the Incans did was create a series of terraces or raised levels on the sides of mountains to make land available for farming. To do this, they basically made a walled area that would be filled with soil in a series of levels. Terrace farmland resembles stairsteps; you can see this if you research and image of "Andenerias." Using this type of landscaping for farming was innovative in the fact that water would be equally spread from the top terraces to the lower terraces. No section would be dryer than another. The Incans also understood the importance of having fertilizer used in their soil and often used "guano" (waste produced by birds on nearby islands). The variety of foods that they grew included corn, quinoa, potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, peanuts, squash, beans, pineapples, coco leaves (used in chocolate), and bananas. With regards to food, the Incans also known for inventing the freeze-dried method for storage.
