Valheim Farming Guide – How to Farm

Craft a Cultivator

A cultivator needs to be created before even attempting to plant anything to start a farm. To get the cultivator recipe, you’ll need to collect core wood first. This can be done by chopping down pine trees with a bronze axe.

The cultivator can be crafted using x10 core wood and x5 bronze. Once it’s crafted, Valheim’s farming system opens up quite a bit. The cultivator can be used to till the soil so that seeds can be planted.

Be sure to leave some space in between rows of seeds because they need a bit of room to grow.
