Hey Backyard Chefs! 🍅🌱 Thank you so much for the amazing support during Farm to Table’s Early Access launch!
We’ve been reading your feedback, bug reports, reviews, and suggestions closely, and seeing so many of you already spend hours building your restaurants, sharing your places, and making Farm to Table part of your day has been incredibly special for us. For those who are just starting or wondering what Early Access includes right now:

Grilling and baking new recipes.
Hiring and managing staff (farmers, chef & waiters!).
Unlocking new features through the Research Tree.
Serving multiple dishes at once with trays.

What’s new since the Demo:
In the Demo, we could only show a small slice of what the game would become. Now in Early Access, you can hire farmers, chefs, and waiters to help run your restaurant, carry multiple dishes with trays, unlock new features through the Research Tree, send offshore deliveries with the courier, upgrade your tools and abilities in the shop, sell products in the market, discover new ingredients with machines, raise animals, go fishing, fast travel around the island, and expand your land to welcome even more customers.

Co-op is now officially coming in Early Access! So many of you have asked to build and run your restaurants together with friends, family and partners and we’re really excited to finally bring it to life!
