THE FARMER'S ALMANAC
Everything the farm does, in one read. No hidden switches.
The farm's rules are in these pages. The short of it: plant once and your plot grows $CROP every second, burn $CROP to upgrade and your weight goes up, and the weather turns every Monday. The Orchard shared AAPL baskets for two weeks, and what you earned there stays yours to collect.
GETTING HERE
Robinhood Chain runs on ETH. Three steps and a couple of minutes gets you farming.
THE LOOP
MABEL'S SEED BAGS AND SPROUTS
Plant Season is live. Plant a plot on My Plots and it starts growing $CROP immediately. Already planted? Your harvest is growing, and you can collect it whenever you like.
HOW PLOTS
ARE DEALT
The 3,333 farms were laid out in a table and its hash committed on-chain before any plots changed hands. An on-chain shuffle assigned each plot its row. The assignments are public, and every tier is frozen.
The starting index comes from a block hash that did not exist when the table was built. Because it is one offset applied to every token, each row is used exactly once: no two plots can come out the same and none are left over.
Rarity is part of the row, so it is dealt the same way: 33 Golden Acres, 165 Prize Plots, 660 Fertile, 2,475 Common, in a proportion fixed before anyone paid. The tiers are frozen and no key, ours included, can edit them. The Provenance page compares the table's hash against the chain, live.
WEIGHT:
WHO EARNS WHAT
Your plot's level and rarity determine its farming power, called weight. Weather and First Soil affect production. Dormant plots earn nothing.
The farm has a scheduled reward allowance, and unused rewards carry forward. If that allowance cannot cover everyone's normal rate, rewards are shared by farming power. Your plot card on My Plots shows your current estimate.
First Soil is 2× in the Founding Week, Sep 21 to 28, then 1.5× until Oct 19, then 1, for every planted plot. First Soil and weather bonuses are paid from the Granary while it lasts.
The spread runs 1x to 6x: a level 5 Golden Acre has six times the weight of a fresh common plot. That weight is permanent; CROP production follows the published schedule. Every plot's weight and live rate are on its details card.
THE HARVEST,
WORKED OUT
Pick a plot and see what the formula above pays. Nothing here touches a wallet; it is the contract's arithmetic running in your browser.
Compare levels, rarities and weather here. This example uses the current year's reward schedule and leaves out carried-over rewards and the remaining Granary balance. Check your plot card for your current estimate.
2,000 a week × 1.5× First Soil × 1× weather × weight 1 = 3,000 a week
Actual production can change as farmers plant, upgrade or sell. The annual reward schedule is listed below.
WEATHER
One weather rules each week, Monday to Monday at 00:00 UTC. It multiplies the whole farm's harvest, good weeks and bad.
Each week is sealed as a hash on the seal contract before its season starts, twelve weeks at a time, and can only enter the oracle by opening that hash: nobody, including us, can write a week the seal did not commit. Sunny weeks pay above the base rate with the surplus drawn from the Granary; harsh weeks pay under it and the difference flows back in. Some weeks bring events: Flash Floods (2×, 24h), sealed with the season like the weeks and revealed at least 24 hours ahead, and Harvest Moons (2×, 48h), posted at least 30 days ahead; both stack on the week, capped at 2× in total. The Town Hall shows the live week and the sealed ones ahead.
GAME COSTS &
NETWORK FEES
Harvesting has no CROP fee and never needs a token approval. ETH network fees apply to transactions, including harvesting. Review the current cost on each feature’s counter before confirming. Planting from your own sack and upgrading each ask your wallet once for a 100,000 $CROP allowance, enough for a plot's whole road to LV 5, so the plants and upgrades after that are one transaction each. Your wallet lets you lower that figure before you sign it.
WHAT TRAVELS
WITH A PLOT
Sell a plot and its level, its rarity and its unharvested $CROP all go with it. Planting does not: a traded plot arrives dormant and the new farmer plants it fresh, with 2,500 $CROP or with Mabel's sprouts: Mabel’s seed bag is only available before a plot’s first planting. Check that plot’s current availability on its details sheet.
Levels are burned into the plot and can never be taken away. Unharvested $CROP belongs to the plot too, so a farm with a standing harvest is worth more than an idle one. Planting clears on transfer by design: yield follows the farmer who planted, not a bot passing tokens around.
Selling? Harvest before you list. Whatever is still standing on the day the deed changes hands goes to the buyer, and the County shows it on every listed plot so nobody is surprised.
Orchard rewards are a separate record. They belong to the wallet that produced the $CROP while it owned the plot, and a later sale does not move them.
HONEST EXPECTATIONS
The rate holds while the schedule and its carry-over can pay it, and the ceiling is public. Weather swings the week both ways. Every upgrade raises your weight for good. None of it can be quietly changed: the rate, the ceiling and First Soil are constants in the contract, verified on the explorer.
THE MAYOR'S DRAWINGS
The Mayor’s monthly Harvest Draw begins with October. Enter by buying tickets for 5,000 CROP each, up to 100 per wallet each month. The CROP paid for every ticket is permanently burned.
The draw takes place on the last day of each month at 1 PM ET, with entries closing at noon ET. Each ticket has the same chance to win the main NFT prize. The main prize is guaranteed, and every 5 million CROP burned in that month’s tickets unlocks another NFT for the prize table.
See the current prizes, entry status, payment options and rules at the Harvest Draw counter.
WHERE EVERY
$CROP LIVES
Total supply is 2,000,000,000, minted once. More than half is project-held, and every piece of it is scheduled and named below. Nothing moves quietly.
- Harvest emissions 760Mthe 4-year ceiling
- Granary 40Mweather buffer
- Airdrop pool 100Msweeps into the Granary on Mar 1 2027
- Treasury vest 200Myear one, linear
- Team vest 200M6-month cliff, 2 years
- Treasury, liquid 700Mpool seed + reserves
The policy, stated where it can be quoted: the treasury sells nothing on the market in year one. The pool's published ceiling ranges are the one exception everyone can see: as the price rises they turn treasury $CROP into ETH that stays in the pool. The team could not sell even if it wanted to, the cliff is in the contract. The vests exist to run the farm, not to farm the farmers.
PLANT SEASON
The fields are open. Plant, harvest and upgrade on My Plots; check the weather before you plan the week.
THE ORCHARD
The Orchard shared two AAPL baskets among farmers, by the eligible $CROP their plots produced, from September 28 to October 12, 2026. The apple season is over: the farm's fees now buy $CROP for the Mayor's Bonfire instead. Rewards earned in the Orchard do not expire.
If the valley recorded 100,000 eligible $CROP during a week and your plots contributed 1,000, your share was 1%. With a 2 AAPL basket, that earned 0.02 AAPL.
AAPL is a stock token issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, not a direct Apple share. Restrictions may apply to receiving or holding it. You are responsible for checking the issuer's terms and the laws that apply to you; Orchard does not verify your location or eligibility. Read the issuer's information.
Visit the Orchard to see your reward record and collect your AAPL.
COMPANIONS
Your pets can work beside your crops. Keep up to three companions on each planted plot you own, feed them each week, and collect their verified rewards separately from your harvest.
No food, no companion bonus.
Selecting a pet or planning its plot does not start rewards. Its meal must be confirmed and the pet must be working on an eligible planted plot. A fed pet resting at the barn earns no bonus.
FEED AND ASSIGN
- Open Companion care from the Barn. Use the full meal plan, or choose Choose companions → Clear selection, check the pets you want, then Review meals.
- Review their plots. Suggest best plots checks matching critters first, then no-critter plots. Each pass runs Level 5 to Level 1, with Golden, Prize, Fertile, then Common within each level. Rarer pets go first. Pinned choices stay put; changes to working pets need a separate move review.
- Choose Your CROP to burn CROP from your wallet, or Feed bag · ETH to pay ETH while the treasury burns the meal’s CROP. Review the total and confirm in your wallet. Large plans use multiple transactions; confirmed meals stay fed if you stop between batches.
A meal covers the time remaining until Monday 00:00 UTC, not seven days from when you feed. Feed again in the new week to keep the bonus. Companion care has no fixed programme end date.
Food is quoted from forecast production for the remaining week and the pet’s rarity. The CROP cost is half its forecast base pet bonus, before matching and group extras. Every transaction also needs ETH for network fees. In Collection, filter by Needs food or Working; in Assignments, check the plot and meal deadline.
WHAT YOUR COMPANIONS ADD
- Common
- +5%
- Rare
- +8%
- Epic
- +12%
- Legendary
- +15%
- Golden
- +20%
Matching the plot’s native critter multiplies that pet’s bonus by 1.10: a Legendary pet goes from 15% to 16.5%. A Golden critter matches the Golden Goose. Different pets’ bonuses add together.
Three of the same species on one plot multiply their combined pet bonus by 1.05 while all three are fed and working together. Rarities can differ. Three unmatched Legendary cats give 45% × 1.05 = 47.25%, with no extra group feeding charge. Moving one away ends that group extra from then on.
These are gross companion bonuses, before food and network fees. Forecasts can change and are not guaranteed rewards.
MIDWEEK MOVES AND MEAL CREDIT
In Assignments, choose a fed companion and another planted plot you own. You can also swap companions or return one to the barn. Review the current and destination plot’s level and type, the new meal quote, and any top-up before confirming.
Prorated means adjusted for time already used. As the pet works, its meal credit is used in proportion to elapsed time. On a move, the new plot’s meal is quoted for the time remaining until the original deadline. That pet’s unused credit pays the new quote first.
A more expensive move
120 CROP of unused credit, new meal quote 180 CROP: pay only the 60 CROP difference, or its quoted ETH feed-bag price, plus gas.
A cheaper move
120 CROP of unused credit, new meal quote 80 CROP: no food top-up. The extra 40 CROP stays as credit for this pet’s later moves. Gas still applies.
Returning a fed pet to the barn stops its bonus and frees its plot slot. Its remaining meal credit stops being used while it rests, but the deadline does not move. Assign it again before that deadline and the same credit rules apply. Transferring the pet, or transferring or clearing its current working plot, ends that meal’s eligibility.
WHEN AND WHERE TO CLAIM
Companion rewards are calculated from eligible production during the time each pet actually worked. Moving preserves work already earned on the old plot; only later work counts on the new plot. Resting or going unfed earns no new companion rewards.
After the weekly period closes and rewards are verified, open Companion care → Rewards and claim with the wallet that paid for the meals. Rewards are not automatically sent, cannot be claimed while that week is still earning, and are separate from Harvest on My Plots. Selling a companion does not transfer rewards already earned by its meal payer.
Open Companion care →WHERE THESE NUMBERS COME FROM
The core farming rates and costs come from these contracts. Read them off the chain yourself; Provenance compares every hash live and links the verified contracts.
Orchard baskets were chosen and funded manually. Each week's production is verified before its allocations are published to that week's rewards contract for farmers to claim.
