Exactly one per tree, which I'm not sure is a great yield...

Each tree produces one apple per day, so with 18 trees I get 18 apples per day, for 28 days (duration of autumn season), so the full yield should be somewhere around 500 apples! Not too bad I think. One sells for 100+ coins, depending on quality. You can make jelly, wine, and dried apples, which increases the value when selling.

And I want more apple trees so I'll get even more apples. This is the Styrian run, after all!

More cute duck swimming, just because.

Number of sheep: still 23
I need another barn in order to get more sheep! Working on it...

Number of apple trees/saplings: 33
The Orchard Journey is going quite well.

Each tree produces one apple per day

As a doctor, should I be worried?

[The Seamstress]

Well, I won't ever throw apples at you to keep you away, lol. So probably not.

Got another "deluxe barn", so -

Number of sheep: 35! (How many more until it counts as a proper sheep farm? I don't know.)

You have to pet them daily if you want the wool to be good, so that alone takes almost half the in-game day... But you get all the happy baa-ing. Making the wool into cloth and selling it is making me wealthy really fast right now, too.

I finished the Community Centre challenges, now working on getting the boat to Ginger Island repaired and exploring the Desert Mines. I wish I could hire someone to pet the sheep while I go on these other adventures though.

Look at all the sheepsies! I now have 36 of them. I'll need another barn to get more.

Using numbers from this 2023 Irish livestock survey:
https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-fss/farmstructuresurvey2023/livestock/

Suggests a mean average of 165 sheep per sheep farm. But that's a mean average and probably means a lot of smallholding flocks significantly smaller than your 35 (like, you can keep a flock of ten sheep, we only had 15 in the Welsh Badger flock that were grazing my parent's field), and then quite a few more serious 1000+ herds (by my back of the envelope calculations based on some quick googling, something like 600 might be the threshold where they could become your main income stream).
