Joy’s Café Challenge 🌻

The goal of this challenge is to have a self-sufficient “café” at your farm, but you can only make money from ingredients and dishes on your menu.

Requirements to complete the challenge:

1. Cook and sell at least one of each dish from your menu with ingredients you’ve grown, cooked and prepared on your farm. Find the menus to choose from below.
2. Only make money from menu dishes and their ingredients. 

Rules:

1. You can only sell ingredients from dishes on your menu, like eggs, rhubarb, sugar etc. and the cooked dishes on your menu.
2. You can also sell menu dishes if you find them somewhere else, yay garbage cookies!
3. It's okay to get your coffee from the coffee machine and fruit from the cave.

Additional for the Balanced (Original) mode:

1. In the balanced mode of playing you need a Mill, Kitchen and to repair the Bus Stop.
2. Money you make from completing quests or opening mail should be used for decorations on the farm or buying hats. You decide what to do with the starter money.
3. Balanced menu requires you to grow ingredients for, cook and sell: Cookies, Chocolate Cake, Rhubarb Pie and Coffee or Green Tea.
4. You can add Bonus Dishes to your menu (check below). If you sell ingredients from one of these dishes you also need to cook that dish and sell it at least once to complete the challenge.

MORE WAYS OF PLAYING:

Stretch goals:

1. Prepare and decorate your café in a shed.
2. Make your bakery into a cat café by having at least 5 cats on your farm.

Speed mode: You may get the Rhubarb and Beet seeds from the merchant (skip repairing Bus Stop). Anything else that may speed up the process is fine as long as your income is from ingredients and dishes off your menu.

Casual mode: Switch to the Casual Menu: Fruit Salad, Pancakes, Field Snack and Coffee or Green Tea. You will need the Mill but can use a Cookout Kit (and skip repairing the Bus Stop). Optional what you do with quest/mail money.

Advanced mode: Switch to the Advanced Menu (find it below). You need a Kitchen, Mill and to repair the Bus Stop. You also need to complete the two stretch goals mentioned above.
