 '''Garners''' are half-timbered buildings that serve as temporary [[Granary|granaries]] during harvest times, as exchange points between farmers with their produce and carters who carry it away to markets.  In temperate climates, they only see use from late July until the first week of December; they're not ordinarily used to store food through the winter, spring and early summer.  Garners are important buildings in [[Thorp|thorps]] and [[Hamlet|hamlets]]; they occur as auxiliary buildings around granaries in larger centers, specifically for use during the harvest glut.
-The term "garner" also describes the owner and operator of the building, who acts as collector, accountant and caretaker of local agricultural supplies.  The profession is commonly applied as a surname, such as "James the Garner" or "Jennifer Garner."

	The garner dwells nearby with his or her family, who spend much of the year sewing burlap or canvas sacks, or weaving baskets, into which are transferred mainly animal feed and cereals. Fruit and vegetables are commonly brought to the garner and hauled away as loose goods. As the season comes to a close, with the last carter, whatever remains must be taken by the garner personally to a town market and sold. The winter is spent making repairs, building additions and balancing accounts. The garner and family spend the spring and summer tending their own garden, orchard or fields.
