How do I travel between Farms?
Going to and from your Gourmet farm to your home farm is done via a Hot Air Balloon. You can ride it anytime to switch between Farms!

M3

Specialized Crops
Your Gourmet Farm is the perfect place for you to grow all kinds of grapes and cocoa beans with which you can craft fine wines and chocolate. You can purchase these gourmet seeds from the General Store using coins.

M4

Mulch
For your crops to grow, you won’t need water as your own private waterfall keeps the soil rich and fertile. What you will need is Mulch, which you earn by harvesting fertilized crops on your home farm. On your Gourmet Farm, you can earn more Mulch from neighbor visits. Hover over the planted seeds to start using Mulch.

M5

Animals
You will also be able to raise special animals in your Gourmet Farm. The new animals are Mountain Goats and Yaks which all thrive in the cool mountain air. Once you’ve level 7 on your Gourmet Farm, you can buy these animals in the General Store.

Feed
The baby animals are fed with Bottles to raise them. When they are all grown up, they will need Feed, which you can get from your home farm. A Feed Mill will be available in your Gourmet Farm once the land expansion containing the Cheesery has been unlocked.

M7

Feeding your adult animals will produce special milk that is used to craft Gourmet Cheese. Each type of animal will provide a different kind of milk so you can create a variety of cheeses in the Cheesery.
The Bistro
The Bistro plays an important role in the Gourmet Farm. It’s where you serve visitors your handcrafted gourmet food. It also represents your progress on the Gourmet Farm as a whole.
