Every town needs food supplies, and Rockhill is no exception. Unlike most places though, raisin bread is actually valued here.

The Layman's Guide to Planting

You will need the minimum materials to start farming or growing crops...

  • Seeds: Gained by Striking produce with something. You need X Farming to tell what seeds are what by looking at them.
  • Dirt Tile: You can convert grass tiles to dirt via a hoe.
  • Container of Water: Preferably a Bucket. Murk is fine for crops.
  • Fertilizer: Quality of fertilizers are Manure/Cow Pie > Compost > Ash.

Use the seeds on the dirt tile to make a planting space, then put the seeds into the soil for them to start growing. Water the soil and add some fertilizer. Compost and manure are ideal, but ash will also work and is far more common for bare minimum farming or if you're just starting out before you've built a Composter. An easy source of ash is to build a campfire, (Or greater campfire if you really don't like walking into fires.) throw sticks into it, and then pick up the ash after they've burned. Compost can be gained by crafting a composter using sticks and filled with any kind of produce, rotten produce/meat, burned messes, and apple cores. They take time and need to be flipped occasionally, but they can store and stockpile a great deal of fertilizer.
