There’s plenty to do inFae Farm, but players looking for the coziest experience will find themselves wanting to set up a farm that’s efficient and pretty all at once. Farm is in the name of the game, after all, and players can plant a wide variety of fruit, trees, vegetables, and even flowers that can combine to create new and interesting combinationsthat the townspeople love.
Gamers that have previouslyenjoyedStardew Valleywill quickly become familiar withFae Farm’s farming mechanics, but the two games have several subtle differences that players should be aware of before they start preparing their fields.

How To Plant And Harvest in Fae Farm
During the game’s tutorial, players will get nine turnip seeds for free, introducing them to the game’s farming mechanics. Like most crops in the game, turnip seeds can be planted in basic soil beds that are crafted withone silt, one sand, and one beech logeach. Players must approach the soil beds, click to equip their desired seeds, and click again to plant them. The crops must then be watered daily - though players can have a day off from this duty if it rains.
Crops inFae Farmgrow a little bigger every day, with each seed needing to be watered for a specific number of days before it’s ready to harvest. For turnips, this is four days, but others can take upwards of 12. On the crop’s ‘final’ day they will immediately grow to completion after being watered, and players can click them to harvest.
As players progress, however, other crops and plants are grown in different ways.
How To Get More Seeds in Fae Farm
The nine turnips grown in the tutorial are all well and good, but a real farm should have plenty of variety and fields full to bursting. Players should head to the town center where NPCs like Holly, Willow and Rosalind all sell seeds. It’s worth noting that some of these can’t be bought until the player’s farming level has reached a certain level, however.
Players should be careful when buying new seeds, though.Just likeStardew Valley, any crops planted inFae Farmwill die immediately if they aren’t finished growing when a new season begins. Hovering over seeds in the merchants' stocks will show how many days of water they’ll take to harvest, and the season they’re best suited to - but even if a seedcanbe grown in any season, itwilldie if it’s not ready as the seasons change. Fertilizer should be bought and used to avoid this, as it speeds up the growing process.
