what I like to do is hunt all the nearby animals first. when they run out, I task the food villies to gather berries until I have enough wood to build the mill, or 2 depending on my number villies. Usually by the end I have 3 mills with 10 villies each and 3 villies on livestock. I find that 3 on livestock is pretty good as far as sheep fatten at about the same rate they gather, so they never have to wait for more sheep. This is with the brits using the card that improves livestock fattening and increasing food from herdables card (all in one card). Make sure you upgrade the mills as soon as you can, because they are slow. Also it helps to get any of the cards that boost food gathering rates.

hunt whatevers near your TC at the very start, then build a livestock pen, and keep doing sheep. Remember to keep 10 sheep feeding on it at all times, and remember you have to task villies on the fattened sheep each time. Farms are ok, but only if you hate micro.
