Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life has a unique set of farming mechanics brought forward from the original game. Players will have the ability to farm a select group of crops throughout each season, and eventually combine them to create hybrid seeds.
** This guide is still in progress and will continue to update as we gather more information**
With seasons only lasting 10 days instead of the usual 28-30, players will need to keep track of exactly when certain crops can be planted, and ensure they have plenty of time to harvest their yield before they wither away. Here is everything to know about farming, hybrid seeds, and crop value in A Wonderful Life.

All Farming Locations in SoS: A Wonderful Life
Players will have access to three total farming plots on their farms. The first two are available immediately at the start of Chapter 1 in the spring. The plot closest to the Coop has the least fertile soil and is excellent for growing tree fruit. The area parallel to the pasture is slightly more fertile and is my personal choice for growing standard crops.
To obtain the “Amazing” farming area with the highest soil quality, players will need to enter Chapter 2, “Branching”, and speak with Takakura. He will mention that a new field can now be purchased in the Facilities tab of the ledger for 60,000G. This occurred on Summer Day 1 of year two during my own playthrough.
Fertilizer Uses, Spreaders, & Makers in A Wonderful Life Remake
Getting the best value for crops requires tender love and care, as well as the use of fertilizer. Players can Purchase Fertilizer from Vesta’s farm, or make it themselves in the Fertilizer maker that can be purchased from the Ledger for 45,000G.
After obtaining fertilizer, it can be spread on crops by hand, or using the Fertilizer Spreaders that can also be purchased from the ledger. There are Three Fertilizer Spreaders in A Wonderful Life, and each cost 60,000G. While the cost can be steep, it speeds crop care up, making it worth the investment.
All Field Types in A Wonderful Life
It is important to note that A Wonderful Life’s farmstead has three farming areas. The first is the Low Quality Field, which sits right beside the coop. This is suitable for early trees and crops that don’t require decent quality soil to grow well. This field is available from the start of the game.
In addition to the first field, the Normal Quality Field is also available from the start of the game. It is bigger than the first field, and sits just to the right of the Poor Quality Field. This is perfect for growing most early game crops, but it won’t support most Tier 2 Hybrids.
The final area, The Amazing Field, must be purchased from the Ledger for 60,000G starting in the Summer of Year 2 after speaking to Takakura to unlock it. This massive field is tucked in the back of the homestead property and supports all types of seeds in the game.
How to Get The Free Seed Maker in A Wonderful Like Remake
Players will quickly notice that purchasing seeds isn’t a cheap investment when first starting a farm in A Wonderful Life. The Seed Maker Facility, which can be purchased through the farmstead Ledger, helps ease the difficulty of amassing seeds, but it is expensive at 30,000G.
Thankfully, players can get a Seed Maker for free by befriending Daryl in Year One. The mad scientist is definitely a bit grating, but offering him fossils from the Dig Site is an easy way to raise his friendship. After seeing two of his friendship events at his laboratory, and getting his friendship up 2/3 of the way, players will receive the Seed Maker from him for free as a gift.
How to Get Seeds in SoS: A Wonderful Life
In order to start farming. Players will need to visit Vesta’s Farm to purchase seeds for each season.
Vesta won’t sell Hybrids, and only stocks seeds at a “B” quality, but they are affordable and are available immediately, unlike the items purchased through the ledger on the farm. Below are all the seeds sold at Vesta’s farm, and the seasons they can be planted.

How to Unlock Hybrid Seeds & Vinnie in SoS: A Wonderful Life
One of the most unique aspects of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is the hybrid crop system. This will unlock in Chapter 2 “Branching” when Takakura shows you a strange talking plant he has added to his house. The plant, named Vinnie, has the ability to eat two different crops and spit out a new type of seed.
To access Vinnie’s ability, players will need to raise his friendship level to pink. This can be done by talking with him every day. I was sure to just keep talking to him until he ended the conversation naturally. By doing this, I was able to start mixing hybrids at the start of Summer in Year 2.
How to Create Hybrid Crops in SoS: A Wonderful Life
Players will be able to create two tiers of hybrid crops. The first comes from mixing basic crops together for a tier 1 hybrid seed. The next requires players to mix two hybrid crops for a tier 2 hybrid seed. However, not any combination will produce hybrid seeds. Because of this, it is beneficial to hold onto as many crops from year 1 as possible, as it can take a bit of trial and error to be successful.
To help you out, below are all the combinations we found successful for different tiers of hybrid crop seeds. It is important to note the combination, as mixing them backward can change the results. For example, a turnip and a melon will make a Turmelon, but a melon and a turnip could just result in a melon seed.

Flower Hybrid Mixing in SoS: A Wonderful Life
In addition to the man hybrid crops players can mix and grow, there is also an opportunity to infuse bags of seeds with specific flowers. This method of hybrid crafting only works on seeds and offers unique properties. Below are each of the flowers and how they interact with seeds.
Trick Blue Flower – Blooms in Autumn. When mixed with seeds, it creates blue versions of those crops. Sagesoil Flower – Blooms in Autumn. Has the ability to strengthen crops. (Noted by a solid diamond by the seed name.) Happy Lamp Flower – Blooms in Summer. Has temperature regulating properties that change the times crops can grow. (Noted by the diamond outline beside the seed name.) Upseed Flower – Grows rarely in Winter. “processes every nutrient in soil” and changes the quality to “S” rank. (Noted by a Blue Seed bag.)
