You have inherited a small family farm and have decided to leave your old life behind in pursuit of embarking on a journey towards self-sufficient living on your new fledgling homestead.
Your inheritance includes a farmhouse and a few small parcels of untamed land with great potential.
From this modest setup you will invest your time and savings, building your smallholding from the ground up, with the goal of growing it into a sustainable enterprise that will support you and your family for generations to come.
Welcome to your new Home.
Nurture is a game about planting, raising, building, and growing a productive homestead from scratch through a series of careful decisions, wise investments, hard work and a sprinkle of good fortune and opportunity along the way.
Everything you need to grow your fledgling farm into a productive, self-sufficient smallholding is included in the box.
How you decide to develop, grow and nurture your land and everything on it is up to you – in Nurture, your land (and everything you bring to it) is in your hands.
Your strategy for success might be to cultivate gourmet organic produce.
It might be to raise prize-winning heritage breeds, or to choose crops and livestock that are hardy and resilient to the inevitable challenges ahead.
Maybe diversity and variety is your game plan?
Or do you simply want to try your hand at a bit of everything and see what works best?
Whatever your approach, you’ll have to contend with the many and varied challenges that face you when working the land, balancing the books, and learning the rhythm of the seasons to ensure that the systems you put in place are sustainable so your farm survives and thrives for years to come.
