Build a Ring Farm Shady Farmer Guide: Location, Quests, and Rewards

The latest Build a Ring Farm update introduces a mysterious new NPC known as the Shady Farmer. Unlike other quest givers, this character doesn’t explain why you’re completing tasks or what reward you’ll receive. Instead, you’ll gradually work through a hidden questline that appears to lead to a larger prize. Here’s everything currently known about the Shady Farmer, including where to find him and the quests players have discovered so far.

Where to Find the Shady Farmer

The Shady Farmer is located near the Egg Shop. To find him:

1. Open the game.
2. Head to the Egg Shop area.
3. Look for the NPC named Overgrown Farmer.
4. Interact with him to begin the hidden questline.

If you don’t want to walk across the map, you can also click the Farm button at the top of the screen to teleport closer to his location.

How the Shady Farmer Quests Work

The Shady Farmer works differently from most NPCs in Build a Ring Farm. Instead of displaying a full list of objectives and rewards, he simply gives you a task without revealing what you’ll earn for completing it. Some key differences include:

• No visible reward after each quest.
• No explanation of the overall questline.
• Limited information about your progress.

Because of this, you’ll need to complete each objective and return to the NPC to receive your next assignment.

Is There a Reward?

At the time of writing, players who have completed several Shady Farmer quests have not received any immediate rewards. This suggests the questline is likely building toward a single reward after completing every objective, rather than providing prizes after each individual quest. The final reward has not yet been confirmed.

All Known Shady Farmer Quests

The exact quest order may vary between players, but these are the first objectives that have been discovered.

• Quest 1 Submit plants worth 1 Billion
• Quest 2 Fill the Composter on Floor 3 and pull the lever
• Quest 3 Attend 10 events

Additional quests may become available as you continue progressing through the questline.

Do Quest Orders Change?

Yes.

Current player reports suggest that the Shady Farmer may assign quests in different orders depending on the player.

If your objectives don’t match someone else’s, that’s completely normal. Simply complete the tasks you’re given and continue speaking with the NPC to progress.

The Shady Farmer introduces one of the most mysterious questlines in Build a Ring Farm. Located beside the Egg Shop, this NPC assigns hidden objectives without revealing the final prize, making the progression feel different from traditional quests. Although the ultimate reward remains unknown, completing every task is likely required to unlock whatever secret the Shady Farmer has planned. As more quests and rewards are discovered, the full questline should become much clearer.
