Work the land by hand
Till, plant, water, harvest. Watering is not busywork: watered crops come up Select, and Select is what the good orders ask for.

The farm is already there.Make it yours again.
You inherit Heartvale: a whole working farm that belongs to somebody else. A yard, an orchard, and the right to buy the rest of it back — field by field, contract by contract.
Grey means it isn't yours yet.
Locked land is not empty land. The fields are sown, the machines run, the herd grazes — under the Cooperative's name, not yours. You can walk to the fence and watch it happen without you.
Bring the Cooperative coins, reputation and a signed contract, and the deed changes hands. The colour comes back with it.
COOPERATIVE LAND
Six kinds of work, one farm.
Clear the old wood
Fell wild trees for timber, pull the stumps, plant firs of your own. They keep growing while the tab is closed.
Put iron on the ground
Plough, seeder, harvester, tractor and trailer. Every machine is earned, and every machine changes what a field feels like.
Fill the barn
Grain is three things at once: a crop you sell, feed for the herd, and the reason you need a trailer at all.
Sell four ways
The Cooperative always buys, at the lowest price. Orders pay better but ask for a specific load. The market stall pays a premium for Select goods. And the Farmers' Exchange: trade with other farmers for Golden Grain.
Earn the deed
Coins alone never open new land. The Cooperative wants reputation behind them, and a contract behind that.
Two boards at the cooperative.
Mara Bell keeps two lists, and they pay you differently.
Cooperative work
The farm's own work, one order at a time. Each one pays Coins and a point of Farm Reputation — and Reputation is what opens the next parcel of the valley to you.
Trade orders
Standing orders from the trades of the valley: the bakery, the oil press, the greengrocer. Better coin than your own stall, no Reputation, and a new order takes the place of every one you fill.
Six deeds between you and the whole farm.
- Large-scale grain farming.
- High-value crops & Select harvests.
- Tractors, trailers & heavy equipment.
- Build your herd. Produce Milk, Eggs & Wool.
- Trade premium goods with other farmers.
- Restore the heart of Heartvale.
Nothing on this farm is wasted.
Feed the flock grain from your own barn and it grows: five head at the start, a hundred when the meadows are full. What the flock leaves goes to the heap, the heap fills the barrel, and the barrel feeds the gardens. Manured and watered ground gives Select produce — and Select is worth more than anything you can grow without the herd.
Tam Reed keeps the flock while you are away. No animal starves.
And then the yard fills up.
The last deed brings the hens with it. Grain gets you eggs; Select corn makes them golden. Twenty-four golden eggs, three thousand coins and a name the Cooperative trusts open the cowshed — and fifteen cows turn the same grain into milk. Nothing new to learn: it is the barn, the feed and the timer you already know.
Some harvests come out better than others.
A tick above a plant means it is ripe. A star means Select.
Two things make a Select crop, and both are work. The bed has to be fed with manure from the barrels — without it, no star, ever. And the crop has to grow in wet ground: let the soil run dry for more than a few seconds of its growing time and the star goes out for that harvest, however much you water it afterwards. A ploughed bed holds water longer, which is how the tractor earns its keep.
Select is what the Farmers’ Exchange trades in — it is how you come by Golden Grain. It is also how the flock grows: ten Select vegetables buy the next lambs, where plain grain only keeps the sheep in wool.
The other farms are your customers.
The Farmers' Exchange opens once the Cooperative trusts you. Between fifty and seventy lots stand on the board at any hour, listed by other farms and priced in Golden Grain. Put your own Select produce on the shelf, name a price inside the corridor the market allows.

Golden Grain is earned by selling Select produce.
Golden Grain buys a wardrobe, not an advantage.
Twenty-six looks and twenty-six accessories, and not one of them makes the work go faster.
Looks are costumes and nothing else. A crown and a gold suit will not plough a field any faster than blue overalls. Accessories go on top of a look — hats, glasses, headphones, a clown nose — three slots and twenty-six pieces to fill them with.
Golden Grain never buys reputation, quests or story progress.
A farm that waits for you.
Most farming games punish you for having a life. Heartvale does not.
No animal starves. Ever.
Nothing you grew spoils while you are away.
No penalty, no decay, no catching up.
Feed the herd once and the timer starts. The shipment is ready when it is ready, and it waits as long as you need.
From one yard to the whole valley.

At the start you have a hoe, a patch of dirt and no money, standing at the fence of a farm that runs perfectly well without you. At the end the geometry has not changed at all. Everything else has.
