Carrot and potato farm

About this farm

A carrot and potato farm works exactly like a wheat farm: a farmer villager automatically plants, harvests and distributes the crops. Carrots and potatoes are some of the best food sources: a carrot restores 3 hunger points, and a baked potato restores a full 5 hunger points and 6 saturation. Golden carrots (8 gold nuggets + a carrot) are the best food in the game for saturation. You can cook potatoes in a furnace to make baked potatoes. A single 9x9 farm with one villager produces enough food for nonstop play. Carrots are also used to breed pigs and to trade with villagers.

Tips and tricks

1. A baked potato (cooked in a furnace) has one of the best hunger-to-cost ratios.
2. A golden carrot (8 gold nuggets + a carrot) gives 14.4 saturation, the most in the game.
3. A carrot on a stick (a carrot + a fishing rod) lets you steer pigs.
4. A poisonous potato (a rare drop) isn't fit to eat: it's only good for composting.
5. A villager with a full inventory leaves food on the ground, where hoppers collect it.
