How to Play the Online Vegetable Garden Game
How to play: Click (or tap) a square to walk there. Click something right next to you to use it. On a keyboard: W A S D to walk (the arrow keys work too), and E to use or pick up things and to close messages (or the space bar).
Garden: dig inside the fence, plant the seed you picked, and water it every day. Fill your watering can at the pump or the pond. Sleep in your bed inside the house, and watered plants grow overnight.
Orchard and berry patch: apples, pears, cherries, quinces, and Italian prunes, plus blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and gooseberries. Each ripens in its own season. Bake pies, make jam, and dry prunes in the kitchen. Go exploring: follow the path right to the field with the barn, cows, chickens, and a horse you can ride to town. Follow the path down to the orchard and the fishing pond. In town, sell at the market for more coins, buy seeds, fill your watering can at the fountain, and help your neighbor. Fishing: walk through the orchard to the Fishing Pond and click the water (or stand on the dock) to cast, then click anywhere when the ! appears. Click the 🎣 badge at the top to change bait. Save driftwood and scrap metal for a better rod at the general store. Pests: rabbits and deer sometimes sneak into the garden. Click them to shoo them away, or buy row covers and fences at the general store. Sheep: buy shears at the store to collect wool, and watch for lambs in the spring.
Tractor: buy the little red tractor at the general store, then add a plow and a mower. Drive over the garden to plow it, or over the grass in the orchard and field to mow clippings for the compost bin. Dirt bike track: follow the lane down from the field. Click the dirt bike to ride, then click the track to steer. Ride onto a ramp to jump the mud, and race the clock around the track! Greenhouse and sheds: start seedlings early in the greenhouse. Bring the cows and sheep into their sheds at night, muck out the sheds in the morning, and let the manure age on the pile before using it in the garden. Build your farm: you start with a garden, the town, the fishing pond, the orchard meadow with shiitake mushroom logs (and wild strawberries in spring and summer), and the campfire picnic spot in town. Earn coins, then buy a horse, a rowboat, a barn, a chicken coop, pastures, fruit trees, a berry patch, the bike track, and more at the General Store. Feed your animals every day: hungry animals give less. Farm stand: put out the crops you want to sell, and neighbors buy a few each morning. Grain and the Gator: scoop grain from the bin in the barn each morning, and well-fed animals give extra milk and eggs. Mice sneak into the grain at night, so barn cats are a big help! Grow your own grain in the Grain Field up the lane from the field: sow a row, wait about 10 days, and cut it by hand. Carry the sheaves to the grain bin, or park a Gator in the field to carry more. A harvester for the tractor cuts grain fast. Campfire picnic: in the town square. Gather firewood, build a campfire, and roast hot dogs and s'mores. Always put out your campfire before you leave! In real life, only build or cook over a fire with a grown-up. And only eat mushrooms that a grown-up grew or bought: never pick or eat wild mushrooms. 🏆 Best Farms: the top farms played on this computer, ranked by coins earned. You can name your farm there. Farm School: take classes in town to learn new farm skills. Stuck on a question? Peek in the Farm Book for a hint. Learn all 6 to graduate as a Master Farmer! Bedtime: the sun sets in the evening and it gets dark. Go home and sleep in your bed by 11 PM to wake up at 6 AM. Go to bed later and you sleep in. At midnight you fall asleep wherever you are!
About This Online Vegetable Garden Game
A real farm, made into an online vegetable garden game. Farm & Garden World is based on the farm where I grew up in Oregon's Willamette Valley, right down to our milk cow, Buttercup. My grandsons helped me test every part of it and suggested many of the best ideas.
A taste of homesteading. Kids can try their hand at homesteading in Farm & Garden World. They plant crops in season, feed and care for farm animals, build a compost pile, shear sheep, and make butter, cheese, and jam in the farmhouse kitchen.
What kids do: Children plant, water, and harvest a vegetable garden through the seasons, care for chickens, sheep, and a milk cow, cook in the farmhouse kitchen, fish at the pond, and sell their harvest at the farm stand and town market.
For parents and teachers: It is free, with no sign-up and no ads. Each farm saves in the browser on the computer or tablet where it is played, so it will still be there next time.
What they learn: This online vegetable garden game is a fun way for kids to learn that seeds need water and sun, that crops grow in seasons, and that farm animals need daily care. It gives homeschool families and classrooms a starting point for talking about where food comes from. It is made for ages 8 and up. Younger children can play with a grown-up reading along, and grown-ups have fun with it too.
Safety note: In real life, only build or cook over a fire with a grown-up, and only eat mushrooms that a grown-up grew or bought.
