Grow with Purpose: Acres is all about tending to your crops and nurturing the land for a bountiful yield. Your success hinges on your ability to respond to market orders, cultivating the right crops in the right amounts to meet demand.

Gameplay

Meeting market demands

Market orders queue, with certain crops and amounts, It’s up to the player to grow the requested crops before the order ticket expires.
Orders sell automatically when harvested crops are available.

The amount of cash earned is dependent on the crops’ value and how quickly the order was fulfilled. As market orders age, the order value will gradually decrease until time has expired. Too many expired orders will reduce the farm’s reputation level.
