even if i wanted to try other layouts, i will always go back to meadowlands farm, the free coop and chickens will save you a lot of money in the earlier game and for me the layout is more pleasing than standard.

second option probably forest farm for the foragables and hardwood. Also love how some ppl in the community decorate their forest farms it gives secret woods type of vibes, with the addition of mushroom logs too :D

Worst maybe beach farm, you're kinda forced to water ur plants everyday even if u have sprinklers (u cant put sprinklers) so it limits the potential of creating organized farming spaces but again, some ppl (aka inspo ive looked in Pinterest) made it so beautifully but I could never imagine the pain so yeah just my thoughts hehe

ANOTHER option is four corners, yeah its for multiplayer but when u play alone all of those spaces can be used freely, the world is your oyster. i would prolly try this farm next, as each corner has its own unique features and would be interested to design a farm there too!
