Discover an authentic French farm in the heart of the Sarthe region.
Welcome to The Pichonnière Valley, a map inspired by a real farm located in the Sarthe department, just a few kilometers from the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans racetrack.
With the authorization of Julien, a dairy cattle farmer, the main farm, the livestock buildings, and the dealer’s shop have been faithfully recreated to offer you a unique immersive experience.
Start your game wherever you like:
– at the main dairy farm,
– at one of the new purchasable farms,

On the map you will find:
– 111 arable fields (crops or grasslands)
– 7 forestry plots
– several buildable areas
– 1 main dairy farm
– 1 arable farm
– 3 small farms to develop
– 1 vegetable farm

New crops and productions
Precision Farming DLC compatible.
Expand your farm with new profitable and versatile crops:
– Mustard: condiment production;
– Rye, triticale, spelt: excellent grain value or traditional flour for the Champ Gué bakery;
– Triticale: pig feed production;
– Straw from ancient grains can be processed;
– Vetch-rye and green rye: dry forage, bale or bunker silage, or use as green manure;

The map terrain has been designed to offer realistic elevation, optimized for fieldwork from different angles (except for potatoes).
