The Farm is a Roman Economy Building in Age of Empires Online.
PvP Values which are different are put in brackets ().
Gameplay[]
- It is the only building that functions as a Resource Site.
- Only one Villager can harvest Food from a single Farm at a time.
Strategy[]
- It is preferable to use Wood
to build Unit Producing Structures for more units to control other sources of Food out on the map before building farms. - Building farms for several Villagers is very expensive, therefore, it is better to build farms when all other sources of Food on the map are gone.

The Farms were first shown in through the Project Celeste forum post Weekly Blog #2: Roman Farms and Storehouses on June 1st, 2019. It will serve the same function as the other civilizations.
- Since Farms are Common Buildings, we know that every civ will have one. While no civ yet has an Improved or Advanced Farm, we found no evidence that Rome would, so we again are hemming close to the default set up for Roman Farms.
There was some debate as per which vegetables the farm would before they finally settled on Grapes and red Radishes
Roman farms next to the Storehouse.
- ... we did some historical research on Roman crops and made a list of potentials crops. We started with strawberries. We think they may already be in the concept art. But they are more of a delicacy and less of staple on which to feed a civilization. Someone mentioned wheat. But Happy Smurf reminded us that Egypt already had wheat and it would be better to not double up. (Some favorites among the existing crops: wheat, pumpkins, lettuce, carrots, melons, and potatoes.) Happy Smurf wanted grapes and cauliflowers. But then we pointed out that grapes grow vertically on poles, which could look weird.
- For our second crop, we wanted something red, as that is a traditional Roman color. PF2K circulated some images of giant radishes that grow halfway out of the ground so you can see much of the red part. We finally agreed: Grapes and Radishes. And this, my friends, is what the last few months has been like for us.
