"I will grow mighty crops here!"

- Wolfgang The Basic Farm is the first structure used for Farming vegetables. It requires a Science Machine and  takes 8 Grass, 4 Manure, and 4 Logs to build. Once built, Seeds can be planted in Basic Farms, which grow into a vegetable or fruit at random.

Specific crops can be grown by using Crop Seeds. It takes about 40 daylight hours to grow one, although this can be accelerated by the use of Fertilizers. The amount of fertilizer needed to fully grow a newly planted crop is either 3 Guano, 4 Manure or 16 Rot/Rotten Eggs. After growing 20 vegetables (accelerated or not) the Basic Farm will be depleted and must itself be fertilized to continue being used. Farms cease to function in Winter, though during the first few days and last few days of Winter, fertilizer can still be used to grow the crops.

Improved Farm
The Improved Farm  is a faster structure used for farming vegetables. It requires an Alchemy Engine and takes 10 Grass, 6 Manure, and 4 Rocks to build. Once built, Seeds can be planted in Improved Farms, which grow into a vegetable or fruit at random.

Specific crops can be grown by using Crop Seeds. It takes about 20 daylight hours to grow one, although this can be accelerated by the use of Fertilizers. The amount of fertilizer needed to fully grow a newly planted crop is either 2 Manure, 2 Guano or 8 Rot/Rotten Eggs. After growing 30 fruits/vegetables (accelerated or not) the Improved Farm will be depleted and must itself be fertilized to continue being used. Farms cease to function in Winter though during the first few days and last few days of Winter, fertilizer can still be used to grow the crops.

Trivia

 * Hammering the basic farm yields only half the resources needed to create one, so be careful when you want to move your camp.
 * In older versions of the game there was a third type of farm.
 * The Improved Farm used to be known as the Turbo Farm Plot before its name was altered in the "Doorway to Adventure" update.
 * The Basic Farm has 8 sticks behind it. The stick can be spawned via console. Its code is stick.
 * It is worth noting that a farm cannot be smashed while a crop is growing.
 * If a crop has finished growing, it will not spoil if not harvested. This can be a good way to harvest food for the winter.
 * Farms only grow in the presence of light; at nightfall they stop growing until the following sunrise, unless they are near a light source.  As long as light is available to them, they can even grow crops in Caves.
