    Are you struggling to come up with a plan for your next farm layout? Wondering what you should focus on? Why not let your intended spouse decide?

    I had this idea when helping my mom come up with ideas for her next farm, and I thought, why not figure it out for ALL the spouses? lol As you know, each bachelor/bachelorette has their own list of Loved items, so my idea here is to let those items set the stage for what you include in your farm.

    I have too much time on my hands, so I dug through the wiki for you and broke it down for each spouse, and now I'm sharing the fruits of my labor with you! Read on to see if any of these farms sound like the right fit for you. :)


    Character: Alex
    Loved Items: Complete Breakfast, Salmon Dinner

    What you'll need: Eggs, Milk, Potatoes, Wheat Flour, Oil, Salmon, Amaranth, Kale

    Your farm: You'll have a garden where you'll grow potatoes, kale, wheat, corn, amaranth, and sunflowers. You'll need a mill and a few oil machines to make the wheat flour and oil. You'll be raising chickens and cows for the eggs and milk. You'll need to do a lot of fishing in the Fall for the salmon.

You can go to the desert on Mondays to buy coconuts. You'll need to choose the mushroom option for your farm cave to get common mushrooms.

Do lots of mining and gather cave carrots while you're down there.

    Your farm: Keep a couple of crystalariums making diamonds and emeralds. You can forage in the mines for the cave carrots, and in winter for the winter roots. Or, you can grow Winter seeds for the roots. Your garden will grow melon, poppy, wheat, beets, red cabbage, and radish. Choose the mushrooms for the farm cave. Place crab pots at the beach for the shrimp and visit the desert on Monday for the coconuts. You can also fish while you're there to get the sandfish. You won't need to raise any animals on this farm!



    And there you have it guys! You can of course always add to these farms with any crops, trees and animals you'd like for yourself, after all it's not ALL about the spouse. The farmer's gotta get theirs too. ;D This is just a general idea for those who might want to challenge themselves to specialize in only certain things on their farm. If you try it out, show off your farm here. :3

      I love this idea, I already grow specific crops for certain people, like Pumpkins for Willy, Abigail and Krobus, and Sunflowers for Hayley, It would be completely different to dedicate my whole farm to them though. Il have to keep this in mind for a future play through. Thanks for the idea!

        Haha, this is really cool! I would use this idea, but unfortunately I go through too many divorces. This may be good to keep in mind if you want to pick a farm layout best suited. The riverlands farm may be good for alex to catch salmon.

          With Harvey as my primary games spouse, gotta say he's probably one of the easiest to give different loved items to consistently. Its super easy to pickle things, most folks make wine anyways, coffee is pretty common as well. In the fall I usually can make enough super meals to last for a few years. Its like Mon-Wed-Fri I give him pickes, Tues-Thurs I give him coffee before he goes to work, Sat I give a a super meal, and Sun its wine. And then truffle oil on special occasions. :iswydt:

          I admit I like to pick my farms based on spouse aesthetic. Like Leah and the forest farm seem like an expected combo. :rofl:
