Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Don’t Starve Together farming combines a Garden Rigamajig, hoeing, seed selection, plant tending and nutrient balancing. Gardening can yield giant crops when plants are grouped and cared for, while birds convert produce into specific seeds. Renewable animal and resource farms offer alternatives when gardening is too demanding.

Build Farm Soil before tilling
Use a Garden Digamajig to make Farm Soil, then till mounds with a Garden Hoe. Keep plots near base so you can tend plants through their growth stages.
Sources & fact checks
Giant crops depend on low stress
Compatible neighbors, suitable moisture and nutrients, and regular tending reduce crop stress and support giant crops. Planting seeds and leaving the garden unattended can undermine that goal.
Sources & fact checks
Keep seeds in the food loop
Feed surplus produce to a caged bird to obtain crop seeds, then reserve seeds before using the rest of the harvest for meals. This keeps planting options available for the next crop cycle.

Farm with a purpose
Prioritizes establishing and sustaining food and seed cycles, then useful crop rewards and care, followed by renewable resources and combat drops.
