Yup and double yup, as I say at much greater length elsewhere.
I do think though, that the stead should have one commoditty it can produce
in surplus, at least in reasonable years. Honey or fish (or magic for same)
seem to be the current favourites
In a stead this size the majority of crafting probably_is_ done in dark season.
Certainly most "headed for success" steads should.
