The Farm is a location in Harvest Moon 64. It is where the player lives, grows all his crops, grass and tends to his outside animals. It features a House, barn, chicken coop, watering pond and other farm-related objects. With the exception of the baby bed, it is also where all purchased extensions can be viewed. The field is completely cluttered with weeds and stumps in the beginning of the game due to the player's grandfather's neglect.
The Farm is the only area where the perspective can be changed. With the L- and R-buttons, the perspective can be rotated around the player character between eight possible views.
Geography[]
The Farm is located south-east of the Crossroads.
The House is located near the entrance to the farm, on the north-west side. Outside the house are a doghouse and a dog food bowl, the mailbox, and the shipping bin. Southwest of the house is an area in which the Greenhouse can be built.
The largest portion of the area is tillable soil in which seeds may be planted to grow vegetables, grass, and flowers.
Northeast of the farming area is the stable, the barn, the chicken coop, the watering pond and a tree.
Secrets[]
There are a few secrets located on the farm:
- The tree by the pond has a treasure map in the back of it, which will lead the player to the music box.
- The music box is located three steps to the left and 11 steps down from the top-right corner of the field (roughly intersecting a line from the pond tree and the doghouse). It is directly below a tree stump (assuming the "standard" perspective). It can be dug up in that spot by using the hoe 10 times in a row.
- The player will randomly find a Power Nut in the field while tilling. Using an upgraded hoe will not improve their chances, nor will digging in different spots.
