Some village questions

[SergeantEagle]

So I have some questions in village making. It might look ridiculous, but it's my first time creating a village, so for me it feels safe to do this village all over again. They are:
1. How can you create farms in the villages without the crops being unable to be harvested?
2. How can you give a specific plot in a village to a player as a shop plot?
3. Do you need staff to be a founder/member?
4. What are the minimal sizes for a village?
5. Will a future town need an XP farm?

That's it, but I would like to get answers from staff or people who built villages and know how to do such things.

Thanks
Oh and don't colonize the island here:

1. Once there is a region over the village, owners will be able to create subzones(or smaller regions) around certain things. You can add what are called "flags" to these subzones which allow players to harvest crops. Subzone Guide Region Flags Guide

2. Same as above. You can create subzones and allow player to only build within them.

3. Absolutely not. :p Here is the details about what is required of villages. Village Requirements

4. There isn't really a specific number about how big a village should be. I would glance through the above linked village requirements.

5. Nope. It's a nice benefit for your members, however, it is not a requirement.
