🗺️ About the Guide

The Fairhaven Field Guide is a fan-made walkthrough and almanac for Wylde Flowers, the cozy life-and-farming sim by Studio Drydock, in which you tend the family farm by day and practice witchcraft with a masked coven by night. The Guide is written in the style of a pressed-flower field journal — every section a specimen, every page a leaf — and covers the whole of Fairhaven Island: the story chapters, farming and fishing, the craft, the residents, and all the reference tables a completionist could want.

It is an unofficial labor of love, not affiliated with or endorsed by Studio Drydock. Game data is cross-checked against the Wylde Flowers Wiki (CC BY-SA 3.0); any portions adapted from it are shared under the same license.

A note from the author

Hi, I’m Katie Allred, and I made this guide.

It’s the middle of a season, your Switch is in one hand, and you need to know what Kai likes before the day runs out. So you search, and you land on a wall of text, two story spoilers, and a table that won’t fit on your phone. By the time you find the answer, Tara has gone to bed.

That’s the problem this guide exists to solve. Every page is tested against one sentence: the fastest way to get an answer mid-game, without getting spoiled. Tables and charts come first, story pages are clearly marked, and everything else stays spoiler-light.

I’ve been building things for online communities since I was nine, when I started a Harry Potter fan forum and made real friends there — on purpose and by accident. Today I write and teach about communication for a living, and the lesson has never changed: when information is clear and easy to find, everyone wins. This guide is me putting that lesson to work for a game I love.

Who I am, off the island

• Writer, teacher, community builder. My day job is communication. I write about it, teach it, and help people build online communities that people actually want to be part of.
• Lifelong fan-site maker. That Harry Potter forum was the first of many. Fan communities are where I learned to write for real readers.
• Find more of my work at katieallred.com.

How I play

I started playing Wylde Flowers last spring, and I’m a cozy player at heart. Once I find a season I love, I stay in it. Fairhaven lets you do that, because the seasons only change when the coven casts the ritual, and I take full advantage.

If you play the same way, start with the Orchard & Apiary plan. It keeps earning in the background while you spend your days on the story and the people.

Keeping the lamps lit

The Guide is free, and it always will be. If it saved you a season of guesswork, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. It helps cover the costs of keeping the journal growing.

How the Guide is kept

• Checked, then re-checked. Numbers are cross-checked against the community wiki, and pages are corrected whenever players report a difference.
• The Guide’s own words. The tables share the community’s data, but the explanations, strategy notes, and recommended farm plans are the Guide’s own.
• Always growing. Every page shows the date it was last updated. Found something wrong, or a secret we missed? Send a note through the contact page — corrections from players are the best thing that happens to this journal.

How the Guide is arranged

The journal is pressed into eight sections. Getting Started is spoiler-light and safe for brand-new players; the Story section walks chapter by chapter and is marked accordingly; everything else you can dip into whenever the need sprouts.
