HarvestForge

Farming is a science of decisions: which crop feeds the soil and which one drains it, why last year's field changes this year's harvest, and whose hands carry a loaf of bread from a wheat field all the way to your table. Seed, Soil, Chain, Share, and Steward show you how a food system fits together — from a single seed to who gets to eat.

The animated farm and the real-weather sim live in the app — here you build the knowledge that makes the farming make sense.

Hands-on labs

Three labs you can only do here — decide, predict, and trace.

Crop-Rotation Lab — predict the harvest ✨ new Look at a field — what grew there last season and how much nitrogen is left in the soil — then predict how your next crop will do before you plant it. Find out why corn after corn goes hungry, why beans leave the soil richer, and how rotating crops beats the pests. Sun & Shade Lab — predict the light ✨ new A bed by the fence gets morning sun; the north side of the house stays shady. Predict how a crop will do in each spot before the reveal — why tomatoes need full sun to fruit, and why leafy greens actually prefer a little afternoon shade. Supply-Chain Trace — follow the journey ✨ new Every food travels from a farm to your table through many pairs of hands. Put the journey of a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, an apple, and a jar of sauce in order — and name the farmers, plant workers, and drivers whose work is easy to forget.

Play together

Go head-to-head with a friend — same device or an online room.

HarvestForge Duel (pass-and-play) 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room to play a friend on another device. HarvestForge Journey — follow the map → A path through every kit. Clear each stop, then move on — see how far you’ve come.

Mixed practice

Mixed practice — revisit what you've learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you've played, brought back when they're ready to review. Great for making it stick. HarvestForge Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss.
