The Southfarthing was the warmer southern farthing of The Shire. Its northernmost point was the Three-Farthing Stone, its eastern border was the Brandywine River, and much of its border with the Eastfarthing ran along the River Shirebourn.[1]

This was the region where most of the Shire's pipe-weed production was concentrated, in warm sheltered places like Longbottom.[2] Another noted product of the Southfarthing was the strong red wine called Old Winyards.[3]

Geographic Features

A portion of this farthing was included on the map called A Part of the Shire so some features of this section were shown:

History

About T.A. 1630 many Stoors from Dunland entered and settled in the Southfarthing,[4] and thereafter Stoorish characteristics and appearance were common among the Hobbits in that region.

Tobold Hornblower of Longbottom first grew pipe-weed in the Southfarthing about the year T.A. 2670.[5]

Saruman, having received reports on Gandalf’s movements and noting his interest in the Shire, began keeping agents in the Southfarthing in T.A. 2953.[4]

The Southfarthing was where Lotho Sackville-Baggins began his rise to power during the War of the Ring, based on the substantial property in the region that he inherited from his father.[6] Presumably it was he who began exporting pipe-weed to Saruman.
