Long story short, I have more problems with when to build more tents to get more people. Plus, I tend focus so much if it asks for 450 gold or 600 wood, I run low on one or the other.

Since the trading post levels are random, it's hard to give you a step by step and those last 2 levels can be buggers. But you can do it and it's the only way to get the butter churn. What I've listed below may be more info than you're actually needing, but I hope it helps. If you don't want to bother with cabin, have your hero build 1 or 2 tents soon after the level starts while your first 2 helpers are gathering resources.
*If you find you are having trouble doing a level, then you can try to
get an easier map by returning to town. After you return to town, click
on the bubble above the trading post to try the level again.*In these last levels, it sometimes helps to have 1 or 2 extra helpers
to collect the resources asked for. So either build tents or a cabin as
soon as you are able to. As soon they arrive, put them to work where
ever you feel you need they would be the most beneficial. This can also
give you a jump on a “gather people” request. In doing the people requests, you can include your 2 initial helpers in
fulfilling that request. Especially if they are asking for a high
number of people. If you have extra time left on these requests, but
the extra people to work gathering resources. But as soon as you tell
the Trading Post owner you have finished this request, all the extra
people will leave. So keep this in mind if you use your 2 initial
helpers. Also as soon as the requested people leave, if you don’t feel
you need any of them to help you finish the level, demolish the extra
housing you built. That way new people won’t move in and you don’t have
to worry about trying to feed them while trying to fulfill the requests
at the same time.*Spend any extra time I had to try to have my resource levels somewhat
built up to try to make the next task easier. Another trick you can use
on these levels is to save your game as soon as you have the requested
number of a resource collected and then go ahead and talk to the
Trading Post owner. Give him/her the requested item and get your next
task. As soon as you see what the next task is going to be, load the
level you just saved and then use any left over time to specifically
work on gathering the next item that is going to be requested.*Go after what’s lying around first, and then only build the buildings
you need as you need them. Only build the cheapest version of the
building you need to get the job done. For example, don’t build a gold
mine when you can get by with building a panning mine. This saves on
time and resources.*If you find that you are having trouble with a food gathering request
in a level, try having your hero to build a granary as soon as they are
able to start building after the level starts. You can also take
advantage of any extra time from other requests to have your hero hunt
several animals. Don’t pick the meat up right away unless you need it
to stave off starvation at that time. Otherwise leave it laying there
and only pick it up when it’s needed. Remember that any food gathered
while your food supply is at maximum is just wasted and gone forever.
Don’t forget about the fish swimming around in the pools and rivers in
the different locations. You should be able to finish any food
gathering request in any of the levels without building a farm by
gathering berry bushes, fishing, and hunting.*When you have a water gathering request, remember that wells produce

water and water towers store water. So while water towers are somewhat
cheaper to build, they won’t benefit you in fulfilling this request
unless you have at least 1 well built. Also keep in mind that you even
though you may have enough wells and water towers to fulfill the
request, the Trading Post owner won’t accept it as completed until the
water levels have at least reached the number they are asking for.
