Barley is a character in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

Barley runs Yodel Ranch where he lives with his granddaughter May. During your first year, Barley will give you a horse to take care of. When the horse is grown, Barley will visit and make sure that you've taken care of it. If you have, Barley will let you keep the horse! Visit Yodel Ranch when you want to purchase livestock and animal accessories.

Barley tries his best to raise May after she was abandoned by his daughter, Joanna. Barley is normally always inside of Yodel Ranch, unless there is a festival. He runs both the Sheep and Cow festivals. If you befriend Barley, he gives you a recipe for Ice Cream.

Events

Call to Johanna (Part 1)

Visit the Inn on a Friday between 4PM and 7PM.

Inside, you'll see Barley going to use the telephone. After finding out that the person he's speaking to doesn't plan to come home to the valley anytime soon, he hangs up. Doug asks him if he was speaking to his daughter Johanna. Barley tells Doug that he was, and that's he's having a hard time understanding why Johanna refuses to come home.

Barley is saddened that his daughter won't come home because it's having a very negative effect on May! Doug agrees, and says that Johanna should be here for May, especially at her age. Barley leaves the inn feeling tense.

Customers For Kai

The event starts when your character walks into Kai's restaurant between 5-7 PM. Triggering the event will cause the day to end.

Kai greets you and says that he doesn't have any customers, as usual. Popuri suddenly calls and walks into the restaurant, excited, telling Kai that she brought customers for him. He's excited as he sees the first few customers come in. Popuri then says that there's more customers outside. Kai's happy that he has customers, but is worried that it's going to be too difficult to cook for them all. He asks the player to help and you agree. The scene shows you, Kai, and Popuri scrambling around the restaurant trying to serve everybody.

After all the customers have been served, your character, Kai, and Popuri are alone in his restaurant. Kai is tired after working so hard. He tells Popuri that he's grateful for the customers, but she brought too many! Popuri apologizes for overdoing it and Kai admits that he might be glad that he has such few customers. He thanks your character and you go home.
