What it's for

Produces deliciously sweet almonds and a higher yield than normal orchards. If you demolish this building, you won't be able to build it again.

Produces

Almonds

Fallen leaves

The festive almond orchard is an orchard on the Gourmet farm that turns fertilizer into almonds in bigger amounts than ordinary orchards, and on top of that leaves drop into your composter as a by-product. The first level costs you 50000 Dollars and you will have it built in just under two hours. It stays with you from the lower player levels (it unlocks around level 24) all the way to player level 130, so it is a long-term project mainly for players who work on the Gourmet farm consistently. It suits anyone who wants a steady source of almonds without depending on the market hall.

When to build it

Build it the moment you unlock it at player level 24, because 50000 Dollars for the first level is still a sensible investment at that point and the almonds start coming in sooner. You will manage the lower levels with just a few workers (5 at level 1), but to make full use of the higher ones you will also need more fertilizer from the silo. One is enough, and you should only think about another one once you see how many almonds you really get through.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading makes sense, because the output of both almonds and leaves roughly doubles as the level rises – with regular fertilizer, for instance, almond production climbs from 207 to 454 units for the same ten units of fertilizer and the same four-hour production. The price and the build time shoot up, though, at the highest levels construction runs into days and the price into millions of dollars, so it makes sense to upgrade step by step as your player level grows, because the last level is locked behind player level 130 anyway.

Tip from a veteran player Use fast-growth fertilizer when you need a quick batch of almonds within a few dozen minutes, but bear in mind that the yield is considerably smaller than with regular fertilizer.

Most common mistake The biggest mistake is tearing this orchard down for a farm rebuild and then putting it up again, because you pay the 50000 Dollars a second time and wait almost two hours again for the construction to finish.
