Overview
The Farm hub is the first of the five hubs along the top of the 2D game (Farm, Production, Business, Explore and Legacy). Tap Farm and a row of area tabs appears under it. Each tab opens one place on your farm.
You start with only two working areas: the Farm Map and the Lavender Field. The Perennials garden sits right beside the Lavender Field and is open from the start too. Everything else opens as your farm grows through the six stages of the Grower Journey.

How the stages unlock areas
- Stage 3, Farm Operator (Greenhouse, Operations, Management): reach Level 3, or make 3 products, or earn 100 coins, or own a greenhouse.
- Stage 4, Diversified Farmer (Flower Farm, Apiary, Companions, Farm Life, Farm Health, Field Journal): reach Level 4, or earn 15 reputation, or have a bee colony.
- You only need one of the listed goals for a stage. Reaching a higher goal directly (for example Level 4) unlocks every stage up to it.
- Each new stage pays a one-time bonus of 30 coins and 20 XP and a "New place unlocked!" card with a line from Huckleberry about why it matters.
The "more areas unlock as you grow" chip
Locked tabs are hidden so the tab row stays tidy. At the end of the row a small chip says how many areas are still locked, for example "🔒 22 more areas unlock as you grow". The count covers every hub, not just Farm.
Tap the chip to show all locked tabs (with a lock and their requirement). Tap it again ("Hide locked areas") to hide them. This choice is remembered in your browser only. Grower Journey is never hidden.
If you tap a locked tab, the game tells you it is locked and points you to Grower Journey to see the requirement.
Tips
- Not sure where to go? The Next step bar under the tabs, and the ✨ What now? button, always point at the single best thing to do.
- On the Farm Map, the picture strip at the top (Lavender Field, Greenhouse, Flower Farm, Apiary, Farmhouse) shows which places are open and what stage the locked ones need.
- A Greenhouse bought early counts toward Stage 3, and your first bee colony counts toward Stage 4.
