Yes, Jamestown experienced a severe famine during its early years, particularly in the winter of 1609-1610, known as the "Starving Time." Food shortages, harsh weather, and conflicts with Indigenous peoples led to desperate conditions, resulting in the deaths of many settlers. Some resorted to extreme measures, including cannibalism, to survive. The colony struggled significantly until more supplies and settlers arrived in subsequent years.
