Graveyard Keeper FARMING GUIDESKnow what to farm.
Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Graveyard Keeper farming supplies food, seeds and crop waste through the Kitchen Garden, southeast of the home. Fertilizer improves crop quality, while mining and gathering supply crafting chains and graveyard upgrades. There are no seasonal crop deadlines. With the Breaking Dead DLC, zombie farms can automate some work.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Peat helps sustain planting
Apply Peat before sowing to gain an extra seed and crop at harvest while shortening growth time; crop waste can supply more Peat.
Sources & fact checks
Automation has a DLC gate
Zombie farms automate planting and harvesting, but require Breaking Dead and its technology. Manual garden beds remain available without the DLC.
Sources & fact checks
Farm with a purpose
Prioritizes opening the garden and establishing useful crop and input loops, then progression unlocks and core resource routes, followed by DLC automation and distinct orchard, production, and gathering goals.
Crops and beds
Kitchen Garden Access
Unlocking the garden gives you a renewable place to grow food crops and gather crop waste for later processing.
Crops and beds
Carrots
Carrots provide a repeatable garden crop and a practical way to turn seed, fertilizer, and harvests into food and crop waste.
Farm inputs and automation
Crop Waste and Peat
Recycling crop waste into Peat can reduce seed replacement and improve crop output, making garden byproducts useful inputs.
Crops and beds
Wheat and Hops
Wheat and hops feed separate food and brewing chains, making them useful once both garden beds and vineyard plots are available.
Farm inputs and automation
Quality Fertilizer
Fertilizer can improve crop output or quality, so choosing a recipe for a specific bed helps make scarce inputs count.
Field routes and knowledge
Technology Points
Technology points unlock the farming plots, stations, and production recipes that turn gathered materials into progression.
