How do you play Tap Farm?
Tap the field to grow and harvest crops for coins, then spend those coins on more plots, better crops and buildings that earn money on their own, and watch the farm grow bigger and bigger. It is an idle clicker game, the kind often called an incremental or tapping game.
You start with three carrot beds and empty pockets. Every tap moves a crop one step through five stages (seed, sprout, young plant, fruiting, ripe) and pays a quarter of its harvest value. Tap a sparkling ripe crop to collect the full value, and a new seed is planted in its place. Crops also grow slowly by themselves, so ripe beds are waiting when you come back from a break.
In what order do the crops unlock?
There are seven crops: carrot, tomato, corn, strawberry, watermelon, grapes and the golden apple. Buy the next one in the Field tab and every newly planted bed grows it from then on.
| Crop | Unlock price | Per harvest | Ripens alone in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrot | Start | 4 | 12 s |
| Tomato | 250 | 30 | 15.2 s |
| Corn | 5,000 | 220 | 18.4 s |
| Strawberry | 90K | 1,600 | 22 s |
| Watermelon | 1.5M | 12,000 | 26 s |
| Grapes | 25M | 90,000 | 30 s |
| Golden Apple | 500M | 700,000 | 36 s |
The farm starts with three beds and grows to twelve. A new bed costs 40 at first and five times more for each one after that. Crops already growing stay as they are until harvested, then the new crop goes in. Big numbers are shortened: 1.2K is a thousand, 3.4M a million, B a billion and T a trillion.
Which buildings earn coins automatically?
There are eight buildings: Scarecrow, Water Wheel, Henhouse, Beehive, Dairy Cow, Tractor, Windmill and Greenhouse. Each one adds coins per second, so the farm earns even when you stop tapping.
| Building | First price | Each per second |
|---|---|---|
| Scarecrow | 15 | 0.2 |
| Water Wheel | 110 | 1.2 |
| Henhouse | 1,200 | 9 |
| Beehive | 13,000 | 52 |
| Dairy Cow | 140K | 290 |
| Tractor | 1.5M | 1,600 |
| Windmill | 21M | 9,000 |
| Greenhouse | 340M | 52,000 |
Each copy of the same building costs 1.15 times the last one. In return, owning 25, 50, 100, 200 and 300 of a building doubles its output each time. Buildings you buy appear in the field: the water wheel turns, hens peck, bees buzz and the tractor drives up and down the road. Use the ×1, ×10 and Max buttons to buy several at once.
How do I earn more per tap?
Upgrade the Sturdy Hoe in the Field tab. Each level adds 25% to tap coins and adds 0.2% of your income per second to every tap. Its price also rises 1.15 times per level.
Early on the hoe and new plots pay off fast, and as your buildings grow the hoe's share of your income per second keeps tapping worthwhile all the way through.
What happens when I close the game?
Your buildings keep working while the page is closed or in another tab. When you return you get your income per second for the whole time away, up to 8 hours. The crops are ripe and waiting too.
The time you left is saved in this browser. When you come back a banner shows how long you were away and how many coins came in. Anything past 8 hours is not counted, so dropping by a few times a day to add buildings works best.
When should I move farm (prestige)?
Moving resets coins, plots, crops, buildings and the hoe, and in exchange gives golden seeds that raise all income forever. Every seed adds 10%.
You get the square root of this farm's earnings divided by one million: 1 seed at 1M, 2 at 4M, 10 at 100M and 31 at 1B. Move when progress slows down and the next farm grows much faster. Achievements, golden seeds and lifetime totals stay with you.
How many achievements are there?
There are 20 achievements and each one adds 2% to all income, so the full set is worth +40%.
They are: first harvest, 100 and 1,000 harvests, 1,000 and 10,000 taps, 1K, 1M, 1B and 1T coins earned, 10, 1K and 1M per second, 6 and 12 plots, 50 and 200 buildings, one of every building, planting golden apples, the first move and holding 25 golden seeds.
Tips for growing fast
- Tap hard for the first minute. A few scarecrows and the tomato multiply your income.
- Watch the glowing rows. Items you can afford shine yellow, and a red dot on a tab means something there is affordable.
- Aim for 25. Output doubles at 25 and 50 of a building, so buy up to those counts.
- Never skip a new crop. Each crop tier pays more than 7 times the last.
- Buy buildings before bed. Up to 8 hours of income will be waiting in the morning.
Controls
- Phone and mouse: tap a bed to grow or harvest it; tap empty ground to tend the ripest bed. Several fingers at once all count. Tap the sign in the dotted plot to buy a new bed.
- Keyboard: Space or Enter to tap, 1 to 8 to buy buildings, Q new plot, W hoe, E next crop.
- Shop: four tabs, Shop (buildings), Field, Awards and Move. It sits below the field in portrait and on the right in landscape.
