Bellwright Farming Guide: Crops, Wheat and Honey
A Farm grows 11 crops (Beetroot, Cotton, Flax and more). Seeds are sold by one merchant on the map, Marlin Fulke in Blackridgepool. Wheat then goes through a Thresher and a Windmill into straw, grains and flour.

Five steps from a bag of seeds to bread and honey, using the wiki's recipe tables. Where the wiki is silent (growth time, yield, fertilizer effect) the page says so.

The 5 steps at a glance
Farming here means a Farm for the plants, three small machines for the wheat, and an Apiary for honey.
Build a Farm and buy seeds. One seller on the map.
Pick what to grow. 11 crops, ranked by recipes.
Process the wheat. Thresher and Windmill.
Feed the soil and the animals. Fertilizer and animal feed.
Add honey. Apiary, Farming 5.
Step 1: Build a Farm and buy seeds
The Farm is a wiki tier-1 building. The wiki table has no cost row for it, so this page does not quote one; check the tech tree in game.
On the wiki's community map the only merchant who lists seeds is Marlin Fulke (Blackridgepool), selling Beetroot Seeds, Potato Seeds, Radish Seeds. The tables do not say where other seeds come from. See the merchants guide for the finder. Wheat can also be grown from Grains, the wiki says.
Step 2: Pick what to grow
The Farm's gather list has 11 entries, every one at Farming 0. The table counts how many crafted products use each crop as an ingredient (cooking, animal feed, cloth), which is the best signal the tables give for what is worth planting first.
| Crop | Recipes using it |
|---|---|
 Flax | 25 |
 Hemp | 21 |
 Sage | 14 |
 Cotton | 12 |
 Potato | 9 |
 Radish | 8 |
 Garlic | 7 |
 Onion | 7 |
Pro tip
Cotton, flax and hemp are cloth crops, not food: they feed the Weaver Loom. The food recipes guide shows which vegetables go into which dish.
Step 3: Process the wheat
A Thresher (cost 10 Wood, 1 Tin Ingot, 3 Log) makes Straw from 1 wheat in 12s and Grains from 10 wheat in 15s. A Windmill (22 Cob, 20 Iron Nails, 28 Hardwood Plank, 29 Hardwood Log, 28 Thatch) grinds 30 grains into Flour in 2m 30s. Flour is in 10 recipes, bread and pastry among them.
Straw has its own job: thatch and cob for building. That chain is in the thatch and straw guide.
Risks
The Windmill is a heavy build (22 Cob, 20 Iron Nails, 28 Hardwood Plank, 29 Hardwood Log, 28 Thatch), well after the Thresher. Do not plan on bread until you have both.
Step 4: Fertilizer and animal feed
Fertilizer has two recipes: 1 Peat, 1 Water at a Mixing Bucket in 2m, or four pieces of burnt or spoiled food at a Compost Pile in 1h 23m 20s. A merchant also sells it (Marlin Fulke). The tables do not say what fertilizer does to a crop.
Animal feed is mixed at a Mixing Bucket: Rough Animal Feed and Compound Animal Feed (2 Wheat, 1 Sage, 10s; the wiki lists the same first recipe for both); Advanced Animal Feed (3 Grains, 1 Cranberry, 1 Water, 20s).
Step 5: Add honey
Honey is made at an Apiary: 5 Sage in 5m, and the wiki lists Farming 5 for it. The Apiary costs 4 Log, 8 Straw, 17 Wooden Plank, 8 Wood, 5 Rope, 3 Thatch. Honey is in 4 dishes, such as Honey Cakes and Apple Pie.
Common mistakes
- Relying on wild plants. Wheat has 3 wild pins.
- Skipping the Thresher. Straw, grains and flour all start there.
- Planning honey before Farming 5. The Apiary recipe lists that skill.
