Farming and your homestead in Village in the Shade

In Village in the Shade you grow crops on your own plot, buy furniture in town to decorate your house, and craft fences and other items from resources gathered around the farm. The Steam page calls this part of the game "Unsettle Down". Free update #1 added a Camping furniture series that unlocks after you get the Pheasant Hunting Permit.

Seasons in the screenshots

Official screenshots show the village in spring with cherry blossoms, in autumn with red maples and in winter under snow, so the farm year appears to run through several seasons. Crop lists and growth times are not published on Steam, so this page does not list them.
