SimFarm is no longer sold anywhere, and its publisher is gone or has left it unsold for decades. It is hosted here on the same footing as the Internet Archive's software collections. That is a practical position, not a legal claim. This page carries no advertising. Provenance: /apps/simfarm/NOTICE.md. Rights holders: it comes down within 48 hours on request.
About SimFarm
SimFarm was designed with the help of agricultural researchers, and much of the challenge is matching crops to conditions: corn and wheat need different rain, cattle need feed you either grow or buy. Seasons pass in real time, with planting, spraying and harvesting each needing the right equipment at the right moment.
How it runs here
This is the original DOS release of SimFarm, unmodified, running in DOSBox compiled to WebAssembly. The whole game is about 1 MB, so it starts within seconds on a normal connection. Sound and music play once you click into the game.
