🐷 Pig

Pigs are premium farm animals that can be purchased from Marnie’s Ranch for 16,000g. They are the most expensive animals but also the most profitable, as they produce valuable Truffles when allowed to roam outside the barn. Pigs require a Deluxe Barn to house them.

When happy and well-fed, pigs will venture outside to forage for truffles, which are among the most valuable artisan goods in the game. They are essential for players looking to maximize their farm’s profitability in the late game.

🏠 Care & Housing

Pigs require a Deluxe Barn and need daily care to maintain their happiness and productivity. They must be fed hay daily and benefit greatly from being petted and having access to outdoor areas.

• Must be fed hay daily (automatically if barn has silo)
• Pet daily to increase friendship and mood
• Require outdoor access to find truffles
• Cannot produce truffles in winter or on rainy days

💰 Production & Profitability

*When conditions are met (not winter, not raining, pig is happy)

🍳 Uses

Truffles produced by pigs have several valuable applications:

• Artisan Goods: Process into Truffle Oil using Oil Makers (doubles value)
• Gifting: Loved by Leah, liked by most other villagers
• Bundles: Required for the Chef’s Bundle in the Community Center
• Direct Sales: High value even when sold raw
• Collections: Needed to complete the shipping collection
