Farming

Farming in Valheim allows players to grow crops, sustain food production, and unlock higher-tier crafting materials. As you progress through biomes, new seeds and cultivation mechanics become available, making farming an important part of mid- and late-game progression.

== 🌱 How Farming Works ==

Farming requires the [[Cultivator]], crafted at a [[Forge]].

To grow crops:

* Prepare soil using the Cultivator.
* Plant seeds in cultivated ground.
* Ensure adequate spacing between plants.
* Protect crops from enemy raids.
* Wait for growth (in-game time passes naturally).

Crops will not grow if planted too close together.

----

== 🛠 Required Tools ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Tool
! Use
|-
| [[Cultivator]]
| Tills soil and plants seeds
|-
| [[Hoe]]
| Levels terrain and raises ground
|-
| [[Forge]]
| Required to craft the Cultivator
|}

----

== 🌾 Crops by Biome ==
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Crop
! Biome Required
! Use
! Notes
|-
| Carrot
| [[Black Forest]]
| Early food recipes
| Grown from carrot seeds found in dungeons
|-
| Turnip
| [[Swamp]]
| Mid-tier food
| Seeds found in swamp
|-
| Barley
| [[Plains]]
| High-tier food & crafting
| Only grows in Plains biome
|-
| Flax
| [[Plains]]
| Linen thread (crafting)
| Only grows in Plains biome
|-
| Magecap
| [[Mistlands]]
| Magic recipes

|-
| Jotun Puffs
| [[Mistlands]]

|}

Some crops will only grow in their native biome.

----

== 🌬 Wind & Processing ==

Later progression introduces crop processing:

{| class="wikitable"
! Structure
! Function
|-
| [[Windmill]]
| Converts barley into barley flour
|-
| [[Spinning Wheel]]
| Converts flax into linen thread
|}

These require an [[Artisan Table]].

----

== 🛡 Protecting Your Farm ==

* Use raised earth walls or stakewalls.
* Keep farms inside base perimeter.
* Use [[Taming|Tamed Wolves]] for defense.
* Place [[Workbench]] coverage to reduce spawns.

Raids can easily destroy exposed crops.

----

== 📈 Farming Strategy Tips ==

* Always replant some seeds before consuming crops.
* Spread crops evenly to maximize growth rate.
* Build Plains outposts for barley/flax farming.
* Expand farms gradually to avoid overproduction waste.
* Combine farming with [[Taming]] for full food sustainability.
