In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm to accommodate more crops and animals is essential for progressing in the game. With the introduction of the Farm Expansion feature in the v0.13.0 update, players can now increase their farm's space significantly. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and building the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

The Farm Expansion feature allows you to extend your farm across the river to the right, adding a substantial new area for structures and crop spaces. To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but there are specific progress requirements you must meet first.

To be eligible to buy the Farm Expansion, you need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest to gather some of the required materials for the expansion. Note that reaching Rank 55 is also a prerequisite for unlocking this quest, making it a crucial step in the process.

Once you've met these initial requirements, you'll need to gather all the necessary materials for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant investment, as this is one of the most substantial undertakings in the game.

How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To initiate the expansion process, visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the main menu, select 'Farm Expansion' at the bottom to view the requirements.

The first requirement is **40,000 Tesserae**, the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will require time and effort through gathering, farming, and completing quests. Make the most of your time by visiting the Mines, fishing, and turning in new items to the Museum.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which is a challenging task. To obtain Refined Stone, you must repair the **Stone Refinery**, a process that becomes available only after reaching Town Rank 55. Before repairing the Stone Refinery, you'll need to repair the **Inn**.

Finally, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to acquire. Once you have a **Copper Axe**, you can gather Hard Wood from the **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also obtain this material from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or by turning in enough items to the Museum.

Once you've gathered all the required materials and money, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and select 'Buy' to purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.

That's how you build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides on the game, be sure to explore our other content, including how to craft Essence Stones.
