During the gold rush, prospectors and miners primarily sourced food from local supply stores that catered to the influx of people in mining towns. Many settlers also relied on provisions shipped from larger cities, while some attempted to grow their own crops in makeshift farms. Additionally, hunting and fishing provided supplemental food sources for those in more remote areas. However, the demand often outstripped supply, leading to inflated prices and scarcity.
