[Let's Do] Farm & Charm

The farm calls: Experience the art of advanced agriculture and farmhouse cuisine!
Farm & Charm is the farming and kitchen mod under most of Homestead's food. It adds barley, oats, corn, strawberries and wild crops, five kitchen stations, a drying silo, fertilizer and helpers for animals, and the Bakery, Brewery and Candlelight mods cook on its stations. To start cooking, craft a Stove, put a Cooking Pot or a Roaster on top of it, and stir butter and dough in a Crafting Bowl. On Homestead, Farmer's Delight's cabbage, tomato, onion and meat cuts are the ones every recipe takes.

What to build first
Every Farm & Charm dish comes out of one of these.
- Crafting Bowl
- A stick on top, wooden slabs around an iron ingot, three slabs below. Mixes butter, dough, salads and pet food. See Crafting Bowl.
- Mincer
- Four iron nuggets and two planks above three iron ingots. Grinds grain into flour, meat into cuts, and ores into extra raw metal. See Mincer.
- Stove
- Three iron ingots, five bricks and a campfire. An oven with three ingredient slots and a fuel slot; every recipe takes 12 seconds. See Stove.
- Cooking Pot
- Five iron ingots and a wooden shovel. Six ingredient slots and a container slot for the bowl or bottle; 45 seconds a dish. See Cooking Pot.
- Roaster
- Three iron nuggets over five iron ingots. A pan for meat and breakfast dishes, six ingredient slots, 45 seconds a dish. See Roaster.
- Wooden Silo
- Nine planks make two. Dries bone meal and rotten flesh into fertilizer and grain for Brewery. See Wooden Silo.
The Cooking Pot and the Roaster have no fuel slot. They cook while the block under them is a Stove, a campfire, a magma block, a block of redstone or Farmer's Delight's stove, so the usual kitchen is a Stove with a pot on top. Farmer's Delight has its own Cooking Pot with other recipes; the two are different blocks.
The crops and where to find them
Every crop starts as a wild plant. Break one by hand for two to five of the crop, and sometimes a seed; shears pick up the plant itself.
- Barley
- Wild Barley grows by rivers, in plains and in savannas. One Barley crafts into three Barley Seeds.
- Oats
- Wild Oat grows in meadows and taigas. Two wheat seeds and two bone meal also craft into two Oat Seeds.
- Corn
- Wild Corn grows in plains, savannas and badlands, beside wild tomatoes. One Corn crafts into three Corn Kernels, which you plant.
- Strawberries
- Wild Strawberries grow almost everywhere green. A Strawberry crafts into one seed, and a ripe plant is picked with a right-click.
- Cabbage, tomatoes, onions
- Wild Cabbage and Wild Onions grow in plains, meadows, forests and taigas, Wild Tomatoes in plains, savannas and badlands. On Homestead they drop Farmer's Delight's Cabbage, Tomato and Onion.
- Carrots, potatoes, beetroot, wheat
- Wild Carrots, Wild Potatoes, Wild Beetroots and Wild Emmer drop the vanilla carrot, potato, beetroot and wheat.
- Nettle and ribwort
- Wild Nettle and Wild Ribwort are flowers of forests and swamps. Two of either in a Cooking Pot with water make a tea.
Barley, oats, corn and wheat all count as grain here: each grinds into flour and goes into horse fodder and chicken feed. Rabbits and foxes eat strawberries, so they follow you when you hold some.
Making crops grow faster
- Fertilizer
- Works like bone meal. Dry Bone Meal or Rotten Flesh in a silo for one each, or grind rotten flesh in the Mincer. See Fertilizer.
- Compost
- Four fertilizer, ten uses. It only works on Farm & Charm's cabbage and onion crops: each use grows two to six of them in a five by five patch and can make ripe ones Big. See Compost.
- Fertilized Soil
- Nine fertilizer, or podzol dried in a silo. Hit it with a Pitchfork and it sinks a layer and bone-meals plants within five blocks; four hits use it up. See Fertilized Soil.
- Fertilized Farmland
- Till a full Fertilized Soil block with a hoe. It bone-meals the crop on it from time to time and cannot be trampled. See Fertilized Farmland.
- Water Sprinkler
- Iron, planks and a water bucket. Set on the same layer as your crops, it waters all farmland up to eight blocks away on every side. See Water Sprinkler.
- Rain
- While it rains on a crop, each growth tick has an extra one in four chance to move it a stage, more in a thunderstorm.
Farm & Charm's own cabbage and onion crops can turn Big, then Giant, when you use Compost on them ripe with water nearby, and then drop up to eight. Craft a cabbage into three of Farm & Charm's Cabbage Seeds to plant one; on Homestead it still drops Farmer's Delight cabbages.
How to use the Mincer, and what it grinds
- Right-click the Mincer with a stack. The whole stack goes in.
- Right-click it with an empty hand to turn the crank. About two turns grind one item, and the result pops out.
- Keep cranking until the stack is gone. Sneak and right-click to take back what is left.
- Grain into flour
- One wheat, barley, oat or corn gives four Flour.
- Meat into cuts
- Porkchop gives two Raw Bacon, chicken three Raw Chicken Cuts, beef one Minced Beef, mutton one Raw Mutton Chops. On Homestead these are Farmer's Delight's items.
- Ores
- Iron and gold ore give three raw metal each, copper ore five (six from deepslate), redstone and lapis ore five (six from deepslate), emerald ore two (three from deepslate). Mine the ore with Silk Touch to grind it.
- Everything else
- A bone gives five bone meal, Wheat Dough two Raw Pasta, an ingot nine nuggets, a horse armour its metal back, a log its stripped log, stone cobblestone, a melon nine slices.
Drying in the Silo
Silos placed against each other join into one, up to three wide and nine high. Each item dries in ten seconds and stays inside until you open the silo.
- Right-click the silo with the items to dry. A stack spreads over the free spaces.
- Wait ten seconds per item.
- Right-click it with an empty hand to open it. Dried items fall out of the front until you close it again.
- Bone meal or rotten flesh
- One Fertilizer each.
- Podzol
- One Fertilized Soil.
- Any wild crop
- One bone meal.
- Barley, oat, corn, wheat
- Dried Barley, Dried Oat, Dried Corn and Dried Wheat, for Let's Do Brewery's beers and whiskeys.
The Copper Silo is eight copper ingots around a Wooden Silo and works the same.
Butter, yeast, flour and dough
- Butter
- A milk bucket in the Crafting Bowl gives four Butter. Most roaster dishes need it.
- Yeast
- Sugar, a water bucket and wheat in the Cooking Pot, with an empty bowl in the container slot, give 12 Yeast.
- Flour
- Grind grain in the Mincer. Homestead also makes Flour and Create's Wheat Flour craft into each other, and a mortar and pestle grinds wheat into four Create flour.
- Wheat Dough
- Flour, yeast and a water bucket in the Crafting Bowl give five. On Homestead this is Farmer's Delight's Wheat Dough.
Every water bucket slot here also takes Meadow's wooden water bucket and the Bater Wucket. The bowl works the same way for all of these: put the ingredients in one by one, then right-click it with an empty hand until the stirring is done. Bakery's cakes and breads are made from these, see the Caking Station.
Cooking Pot recipes

Farmer's Breakfast is crafted in a grid from any bread, a Bacon and Eggs and a Roasted Corn. The other two bowl dishes are Farmer Salad (tomato, onion, cabbage and strawberry) and Oatmeal with Strawberries (milk, oat and strawberry), both stirred in the Crafting Bowl.
Which food is best
Hunger points as our server's config sets them (a drumstick is two), and what each one gives:
- Farmer's Breakfast
- Twelve, and Farmer's Blessing for eight minutes, which clears every bad effect while it lasts.
- Stuffed Rabbit and Stuffed Chicken
- Nine for the rabbit, eight for the chicken, with Feast for eight minutes.
- Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Noodles
- Nine, with Sustenance for five minutes.
- Goulash
- Eight, with Satiation for five minutes.
- Baked Mutton Chops
- Eight, with Feast for four minutes.
- Sausage with Oat Patty
- Eight, with Sweets for two minutes.
- Mutton with Corn
- Eight, with Satiation for three minutes.
- Farmer Salad, Cooked Cod, Cooked Salmon
- Seven each, with four minutes of Satiation or Sustenance.
- Onion Soup and the other soups
- Five to seven, with Rested, which raises the experience you gain.
- Grandma's Strawberry Cake
- Four, with Grandma's Blessing: Farmer's Blessing plus two Luck.
Sustenance gives one hunger point every ten seconds, or half a heart when you are full. Satiation slows how fast you get hungry. Feast is both at once.
Animals: troughs, coops, fodder and carts
- Feeding Trough
- Right-click it with wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, carrots or potatoes, up to four times. Adult animals within eight blocks walk over, eat and breed. See Feeding Trough.
- Chicken Coop
- Lead a chicken to it and right-click: it holds three and keeps up to nine eggs for you. A Pitchfork lets them out. See Chicken Coop.
- Chicken Feed
- Grain, carrots and wheat seeds. A fed chicken lays eggs and drops feathers more often for a minute. See Chicken Feed.
- Horse Fodder
- Grain, apples and a carrot. It tames a wild horse at once; a tamed one heals five hearts and gets more speed and jump for five minutes. See Horse Fodder.
- Cat Food and the Pet Bowl
- Cat Food makes taming a cat likelier. A Pet Bowl takes it and Farm & Charm's own Dog Food; the Crafting Bowl makes Farmer's Delight's on Homestead, so convert it first.
- Plow
- Right-click it to hitch it to yourself and walk. It tills grass and dirt two blocks wide and harvests ripe crops it passes, replanting them. See Plow.
- Supply Cart
- A 27-slot chest on wheels you pull the same way. See Supply Cart.
- Dungarees
- Leggings that stop you trampling farmland and show how fed animals are. A Farmer villager sells them for 16 emeralds. See Dungarees.
What Homestead changes
Homestead runs Cozy Studios' Ultimate Compat Mod, which settles the items Farm & Charm and Farmer's Delight both add. These Farm & Charm items are hidden, and Farmer's Delight's are the ones every recipe takes:
- Cabbage, tomato and onion, and the cabbage and tomato seeds.
- Bacon, chicken cuts, mutton chops and minced beef, which the Mincer now gives as Farmer's Delight's.
- Wheat Dough and raw pasta, which the Crafting Bowl and the Mincer now make as Farmer's Delight's.
- Dog food, rotten tomato, and Bacon and Eggs.
If you end up with one of the hidden items, a Compat Workbench turns it into the other mod's. A crafting table in the middle of planks and sticks makes one. The pack's own scripts also make Flour and Create's Wheat Flour interchangeable and let the Bater Wucket count as water.
The Seasoned and Settled quest chapter
Farm & Charm and Candlelight share a chapter of 53 quests in the quest book. The first ones pay out the farming kit:
- "Harvest Valley": eight each of potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes and strawberries, for a Pitchfork and an iron hoe.
- "Watching Grass Grow": five Fertilized Soil and a Plow, for six iron ingots and 32 fertilizer.
- "Stirring Success": a Crafting Bowl, for five butter and five yeast.
- "Turn Up The Heat": a Stove, a Roaster and a Cooking Pot, for two Toolracks and 250 XP.
- "On The Grind" asks for flour, raw pasta and a Mincer; "A Song of Silos" for four Wooden Silos, and gives two Copper Silos.
- Then one quest per dish, Farm & Charm's and Candlelight's, ending with the Tropical Fish Supreme.
The Scarecrow
The Scarecrow is the mod's reward for cooking everything. The advancement "Masterchef Manifest" gives two, with 800 XP, once you have held all 30 of its dishes, the three teas included.
Placed, it gives every growing crop within eight blocks an extra growth tick every 25 seconds. A barley bale and sticks around one Scarecrow craft two.
Questions
How do I use the Cooking Pot in Farm & Charm?
Put it on a Stove, a campfire, a magma block or a block of redstone, then right-click it to open it. Add the ingredients and the container the recipe needs (usually a bowl, a glass bottle for tea). It cooks in 45 seconds.
Why is my Cooking Pot or Roaster not cooking?
They have no fuel of their own: the block under them must be a Stove, a campfire, a magma block, a block of redstone or Farmer's Delight's stove. The pot also needs the right container in its slot.
How do I make butter and yeast?
Stir a milk bucket in the Crafting Bowl for four butter. Yeast cooks in the Cooking Pot from sugar, a water bucket and wheat, with an empty bowl in the container slot, for 12.
How does the Mincer work?
Right-click it with a stack, then right-click it with an empty hand to crank. About two turns grind one item. It makes flour, meat cuts, bone meal and up to six raw metal or gems from one ore block.
Where do I get barley, oat and corn seeds?
Break wild barley, wild oats or wild corn, then craft the crop into seeds: one barley or corn gives three. Oat seeds also craft from two wheat seeds and two bone meal.
What is the best Farm & Charm food?
Farmer's Breakfast: twelve hunger points and eight minutes of Farmer's Blessing. Craft any bread, a Bacon and Eggs from the Roaster and a Roasted Corn from the Stove.
