Cozy Farm Manager

Take charge of your own thriving farm where every decision counts - Balance worker satisfaction with productivity, develop specialized staff, commit to the right contracts, control your farm’s pest population, manage your water supply, and choose how your farm evolves as your reputation grows! Will you focus on biodiversity and building a skilled workforce, or streamline operations through chemicals and advanced technology? The future of your farm is in your hands.

• Visit your local TalentCo recruiting agency every day to see potential new hires with unique skillsets and salary expectations

• Assign jobs to your farmhands: Let them handle basic tasks around the farm like watering, harvesting, building, mining, chopping, and caring for livestock!

• Ensure you have the cash to pay your farmhands’ daily salaries, or their happiness will fall, and they may quit the farm

• Challenge your team members with new tasks! This will develop their skillsets over time

• Approve or decline their day-off and raise requests – Will you risk their happiness to save on productivity and salary costs?

• Keep in mind the happiness of your workforce can boost or damage your farm’s reputation over time!

• Just like real farming, pests are a constant threat to your crops. Once they get a foothold, they can spread to neighboring crops, and eventual wipe out entire fields!

• Plant a diverse range of crop types to slow pests

• Attract predatory insects (butterflies, bees, and dragonflies) by growing flowers, and building apiaries - Let them “manage” the pests!

• Build chicken coops and encourage your chickens to wander around your crops – Pests make for great chicken feed!

• Spray pesticide to eliminate pests – A costly option but is extremely effective

• Water sources can run dry. Yes, even your starting pond

• Precious rain not only waters your crops for the day but replenishes your water stores

• Build rain barrels and water towers to collect as much rain as possible on rainy days

• Keep an eye on the weather forecast to plan for upcoming rainfalls and inevitable droughts

• Run underground piping and connect your sprinklers to water stores. Be mindful though! Sprinklers can use a lot more water than a water jug

• Start out by selling your farm’s products to the local farmer’s market

• Commit to major contracts with traveling company reps - After all, the local farmer’s market can only buy so much of your harvest

• Fulfill contract requirements and meet deadlines to grow your farm’s reputation. But don’t overcommit! A missed contract can be very damaging to your farm’s reputation
