In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for growing your crops and accommodating more animals. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, provides a solution by allowing you to extend your farm across the river to the east, providing additional space for structures and crop fields.

To unlock the farm expansion, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area of the game. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but you need to meet specific progress requirements first.
The first step is to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires reaching Town Rank 55. These steps are interconnected and essential for unlocking the expansion.
Once these prerequisites are met, you'll need to gather the materials required for the expansion. This is a significant undertaking, so be prepared for a substantial investment of time and resources.


Visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the shop’s main menu, navigate to the ‘Farm Expansion’ option at the bottom to view the requirements.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the cost of the upgrade. This amount requires diligent efforts in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, engage in fishing, and contribute new items to the Museum to accumulate Tesserae.
Next, gather **50 x Refined Stone**. This involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**, which you can only do after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.
Finally, collect **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to acquire. With a **Copper Axe**, you can chop the large tree stumps found on your farm and elsewhere, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can obtain Hard Wood from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or by contributing enough items to the Museum.
Once you have amassed all the required materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for access.
