Overall, I'd say wood is available in large quantities for a huge price due to the danger of harvesting it from the surface. I don't think it's grown in vats.

They've got cooking oil, but presumably that's some sort of canola/vegetable oil. I haven't seen any mention of fruits, but they do mention coffee.

As Addison suggested labor at the Spire base is something a prisoner of war might be tasked with, I wouldn't be surprised if mining was a division of such efforts- and judging by Grimm's reaction, it is not a fun job. There's also the possibility that 'vats' can mystically solve such logistical nuisances.
Rygar:
The divide between layers is masonry, many of the upper layer's buildings are wooden though. I'm really hoping we're going to get some good info out of future signings/AMAs. There is so much about TDF that we only learned through Jim's comments, and I really hope we get some cool details for this series too.

Most of Morning's buildings are brick, it's their most common building material. Occasionally they will install a wooden door though. There was a scene in Landing where Espira was disgusted to see that there were entire buildings made out of wood. He said that much wood was worth enough to feed a family for their entire lives

A /Town's/ worth of structures above the first layer, almost exclusively out of wood right? Cost be damned, that's a matter of internal economics. Regardless of how much they charge for it, somehow they were able to acquire the wood in the first place. So either they found a way to grow it in a relatively safe location, or else Lumberjack is the most frightening job description in their culture. Which might be the case; the cost might be a matter of potential Risk in far ranging harvest operations rather than any sort of scarcity from a limited grow footprint.

It doesn't specifically say what it's made out of. Just that the second layer was filled with "Masonry and wooden construction"
But I wouldn't think a wooden floor 2 miles across would be stable enough to hold buildings. The would would start rotting and stuff and constantly have to be replaced, and the supports would have to be huge. I'm assuming it's made out of some kind of stone
