One year in three minutes. FarmForever is a cozy farming sim with a fast heartbeat. Cultivate your fields, plant a season's worth of crops, and watch your farm roll through spring, summer, and fall — a whole year every three real minutes. Start with one tractor and a few plots, and grow into a sprawling, humming operation. Go big, or keep it small. Farm by hand, or automate the whole thing. It's your farm, your pace. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Tap a field to send your tractor out — till, plant, and harvest with a single touch. - Grow eight crops, from wheat and tomatoes to pumpkins, sunflowers, and hops. - Watch the satellite view shift palette as the seasons turn. - Pin contracts from local diners, restaurants, exporters, and the rare Gold Star buyer. - Race the season — crops ripen on the clock, so plan your year and bring in the harvest before it turns. - Earn stars for the work you ship, and spend them on automations. GROW AS BIG AS YOU LIKE - Buy new plots and expand across the satellite map. - Upgrade your fleet — cultivators, planters, and combine harvesters, each faster than your tractor and upgradable too. - More fields give you more inventory, but watch out for your barn's capacity and the buyers who'll want more goods. MANUAL, OR AUTOMATED — YOUR CALL - Hire a Broker to auto-sell your harvest - Bolt GPS Auto-steer onto your cultivators and an NDVI module onto your harvesters to work fields hands-free. - Call in the Crop Duster to ripen a whole field in a single pass. - Do it all yourself, or let the farm run itself — the choice is always yours. A FARM THAT FITS YOUR DAY - A full year takes three minutes - Dip in for one quick year on the bus, or settle in for a long, productive afternoon. - Close the app and the clock waits for you — no idle farming behind your back. Pick up right where you left off. If you love cozy farming sims but don't want a second job, this one's built for you. In-app purchases are entirely optional — the full game is 100% playable and ad free.
