Quick question: the city in Paelia's route... is Toronto, isn't it? About a week's travel from Long Island, capital of Ontario... and on the northern bank of Lake Ontario.
There's a mall in Upper New Ark selling various appliances, including a fridge, a heater, and a refinery. OFC you'd need to renovate the farm first to use any of them.
After purchasing the refinery, go back to the farm, and use the refinery.
