Field Dispatch № 01 · iOS
Field notes from a coffee estate.
A five-year study in patience, rain, and ripening — decide what to plant, when to pick, and how to sell. On the App Store as Coffee Farm Sim: Tycoon.
Coffee does not reward hurry. It rewards reading the sky, tasting the soil, and knowing, in a particular week of a particular season, whether to wait another day. You manage a farm across five years. Every month you make a decision — irrigate or hold, treat for rust or watch, strip the cherries or pick the reds. When the harvest comes in, you process: washed for clarity, natural for sweetness, honey for a little of both. Then you dry, sort, and sell into a market that has moods.
No tap-to-win. No timers to skip. Your farm is the sum of the choices you made when it would have been easier to leave the decision alone. Finish a good year and the cherries taste different the next one.

The Year
Four phasesPhase one · tend
Grow & Manage
Four seasonal phases — dry, flowering, cherry development, harvest. Each offers distinct actions, distinct risks, and a narrow calendar.
Phase two · craft
Process & Dry
Washed, natural, or honey. Patio, raised bed, or mechanical. Each combination shapes clarity, sweetness, and the final cup score.
Phase three · sell
Sell & Invest
Local buyers, cooperatives, exporters, or direct trade — each with their own demands. Reinvest in your farm for the next year.
