Run A Farm Getting Started Guide
Zero-Robux first hour: eggs, stand, quests, RELEASE code, and your first field.
Run A Farm! by Farm CStudios drops you next to a starter chicken coop on a six-player Roblox server. Your job in the first session is simple: turn eggs into cash, follow the quest chain, pocket the free RELEASE code money, then open crops with Field 1. This guide walks that route without wasting purchases on Garage or Farmhands before they matter. For a visual no-Robux climb, watch the embedded video mid-page, then keep reading for meter checks and buy order.
Minute-zero checklist
- Collect eggs from the coop area. Eggs fill your BAG meter—they do not sell until they sit on the stand.
- Walk onto the RESTOCK pad beside the wooden stand while holding eggs. Watch BAG drop and STAND rise. That transfer is the whole early economy.
- Wait for buyers at the stand. Quest text often nudges “Wait for buyers!”—stay nearby until cash ticks in.
- Buy more hens when the prompt appears so egg spawn keeps up with demand.
- Step on the EGG PRICE + button. Prices climb from about $2 → $2.50 → $3 per egg. Higher price beats rushing a second field too early.
- Claim quests as they complete. Early chicken and stock quests pay around $15; later “Sell 200 eggs” style goals climb toward $1,400.
- Open Settings, find the code box, redeem RELEASE for 500 cash, then dump that boost into hens, price upgrades, or Field 1.
- Buy Field 1 ($120) and the Seed Market ($50) once the egg loop feels stable. Wheat is your first crop; Carrot waits behind a $400 unlock.
If any step stalls, re-read the eggs and stand guide before spending on workers.
Understanding BAG vs STAND
New players often stand at the coop with a full bag wondering why nobody buys. Buyers only purchase what is already stocked on the stand. RESTOCK is a dedicated pad—walk onto it with eggs in the bag. Success looks like BAG falling while STAND climbs. If STAND stays empty, sales stop even if hens are producing. Keep a habit: coop → RESTOCK → glance at buyers → back to coop or quest markers. The eggs and stand page covers Egg Truck bulk sales (~$1,000 for spare eggs) once you outproduce walk-up customers.
First purchases that actually help
Spend early cash in this order unless a quest forces otherwise:
| Buy | Cost | Why now |
|---|---|---|
| Hens + egg price pads | Varies | More eggs and higher $/egg |
| Seed Market | $50 | Unlocks the seed shop |
| Field 1 | $120 | Opens crop income |
| Sprinklers | $120 | Crops grow 30% faster |
| Farm Bike | $15 | Cheap travel between coop, fields, and town |
| Farm Office | $500 | Unlocks hiring—wait until egg or crop chores eat your time |
Skip Storage ($800) and Garage ($1,200) until you are harvesting more than you can haul by hand. Skip Farmhand ($1,020) until fields exist and you hate harvesting. A Planter ($400) only helps after you own seeds and at least one field. Full role breakdown lives in the workers guide.
Quests and the RELEASE code
Quests are free money stacked on top of stand sales. Claim early stock and chicken quests immediately—those $15 payouts buy your next hen or bike. Mid-chain egg sales quests (including Sell 200 eggs around $1,400) fund Farm Office or Sprinklers. Late delivery quests such as Deliver 275 Potato for about $7,700 are endgame spikes; do not chase them before you have truck capacity—see vehicles and crops farming.
Redeem RELEASE from Settings as soon as you load. The developer advertises it on the game page for free cash (reported 500). Codes can expire, so verify the live list on our codes hub each session.
First crop session
After Field 1 and Seed Market:
- Buy Wheat seeds (fast ~30s grow, ~$2 value).
- Sow the empty field yourself or hire a Planter later.
- Optional: buy Sprinklers ($120) for the +30% grow buff.
- Harvest by hand, stash toward Storage when you can afford the $800 / 120 crop racks, then haul to Town Park drop-off once you have truck access.
- Unlock Carrot ($400) when wheat loops feel too small (~45s grow, ~$5).
Crop details, Planter/Farmhand timing, and truck town flow are expanded in crops and farming. Money pacing across early, mid, and late game sits in make money fast.
When to open mining and automation
Mining is a personal dig with an ore bin. Depth matters for income. Community tips often cite roughly $12k before comfortably opening serious mining, plus late tools like dumb drillers and tuner bores. Do not abandon the egg stand to dig on day one—hire a Stocker ($550, 12 eggs, 3 slots) first so sales continue while you explore. Read mining before dumping your Garage fund into shafts.
Automation priority for most farms: Stocker (eggs) → Planter (sow) → Farmhand (harvest) → Tractor Driver after Tractor Barn. Upgrade Walk Speed and Carry on workers you keep long-term. Compare roles on the tier list after each hire.
Multiplayer and QoL
Up to six players share a server. You still progress your own farm purchases. Use the cheap Farm Bike to cut walking. If grinding feels slow after you understand the loops, browse scripts for community tools—never share account credentials, and treat executors as at-your-own-risk.

Finish this first session with a stocked stand, at least one egg price upgrade claimed, RELEASE redeemed, and Field 1 owned. Everything else on the wiki builds from that foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Why are buyers not giving me money?
Eggs in your BAG do not sell. Walk onto the RESTOCK pad so the STAND meter fills, then wait near the stand while customers purchase stocked eggs.
What does the RELEASE code give and where do I enter it?
RELEASE is the developer-advertised free cash code (about 500 cash). Open Settings, find the code box, paste RELEASE, and redeem. Confirm it is still active on the Codes Hub.
Should I buy Field 1 or Farm Office first?
Buy Field 1 and Seed Market first so crop income exists. Farm Office at $500 is next when manual egg or plant chores slow you down enough to need a Stocker or Planter.
Do I need Robux for this beginner route?
No. Hens, egg price pads, Field 1, Sprinklers, quests, and RELEASE cover the first hour without spending Robux.
When should I start mining?
After the egg loop is stable—ideally with a Stocker hired—and you can spare cash for the mine unlock. See the Mining guide for depth and ore bin tips before prioritizing digs over crops.
