Crops

First things first, you need various crop seeds in order to start farming. For this, you can visit the Northdell Farm, located northeast of Brightoak. Here, you will be able to find all types of seeds. Do note that even though you can buy any seeds whenever you want, you can grow them only during the appropriate seasons. Apart from wheat, all the other crops in Mirthwood have a dedicated season when they can be planted.

Once you have the seeds, you can place tilled soil using a hoe. You can select the seeds you want to sow by opening your seed inventory as you press TAB. You also need to make sure to water the crops as per their needs. Simply watering them once every day might not be enough.

Farm animals

Apart from crops, you can get farm animals from the Northdell Farm itself. However, you also need to make sure to feed your animals daily by providing them with Hay, which can be collected by cutting tall grass using your scythe. Additionally, if you upgrade your scythe, you can increase the amount of Hay you can harvest. If you have some extra cash lying around, you can also buy Hay directly from the Northdell Farm to avoid going through such hassle.
