Overview
The panel says: 'The owner can attend one off-farm channel at a time. Each staff member adds one simultaneous event. Online sales and a farm stand/store operate independently.' The counter at the top shows attended channels used, such as 0/1. It resets every farm week.
The four attended channels
| Channel | Cost | Items sold | Bad-day chance | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🧺 Farmers market | 15 | 2 to 10 (seasonal) | 27% | Seasonal, low cost and highly variable traffic |
| 🎪 Festival | 120 | 10 to 20 | 22% | High sales potential and high attendance cost |
| 🎨 Artisan market | 60 | 6 to 12 | 18% | Medium sales and medium cost with a curated audience |
| 🧵 Craft show | 25 | 3 to 7 | 16% | Lower sales potential paired with lower cost |
Seasons at the farmers market
- Summer: 25% more customers (strong seasonal traffic).
- Winter: 45% fewer (out-of-season traffic).
- Spring and fall: normal traffic.
- Only the farmers market follows the seasons.
Bad days: weather and slow traffic
Each channel has a chance of a bad day (the percent in the table). When it happens, there is a 55% chance the cause is weather, which cuts the crowd to 38%, and otherwise slow market traffic, which cuts it to 52%. At least one customer still comes. The ledger notes the reason, for example 'weather reduced attendance'.
How a sale is priced
Each customer buys one random product from your shelf at its base value, raised by your reputation: base value × (1 + reputation ÷ 300). The channel cost is paid up front even if the day is slow, and the farm gains 1 reputation for every 4 items sold.
Tips
- A festival is only worth its 120-coin fee with plenty of stock: up to 20 items can sell.
- Hire sales staff to attend two or more channels in the same week.
- The Open market button at the top of the page attends the Farmers market.
