Welcome to my new Farming Simulator 25 playlist! This series isn’t just about playing a game—it’s a heartfelt journey inspired by family, heritage, and the enduring legacy of a farm. Let me take you behind the scenes to share the story that shaped this adventure.
A Legacy Passed Down
Farms are more than fields of crops and barns of livestock—they’re places where stories are sown alongside seeds. My journey begins with my Grandpa Walter, the heart and soul of Hickory Brook Farm. He dedicated his life to the land, raising crops and animals with care, while creating memories that would shape generations.
Growing up, visits to Grandpa’s farm were magical. The mornings started with the crow of roosters and the smell of fresh hay. My favorite moments were spent in the barn, helping Grandpa with chores or riding along on the tractor. Evenings were for porch talks, where Grandpa shared stories of his youth, like plowing with horses or the excitement of using his first tractor.
But time moves forward, and life takes us in unexpected directions. My father, though raised on the farm, chose a career in the city, building a successful business of his own. It left Grandpa wondering about the future of the farm—a legacy without an heir.
A Late Summer Decision
For years, I followed in my father’s footsteps, working as a CPA in the bustling city. Yet, despite my success, I felt something missing. Late one August, the memories of the farm began calling to me—the peaceful rhythm of the land, the satisfaction of hard work, and the stories Grandpa told.
I remembered overhearing Grandpa and Dad discussing the farm’s future. Dad, happy with his city life, wasn’t interested in returning to the countryside. That’s when the idea struck me: Why not me?
With a little savings and a big leap of faith, I left my corporate job and headed back to Hickory Brook Farm.

This playlist in Farming Simulator 25 is my way of sharing that story with you. Set on the stunning map of Riverbend Springs, I step into the role of the grandson taking over Grandpa Walter’s farm. It’s a tribute to the peaceful life I remember, a chance to explore the challenges of farming, and a way to honor the legacy of family and tradition.
The first episode starts with a guided tour of the farm, introducing you to the land, its history, and the work ahead. As the series progresses, we’ll blend the old-world farming techniques Grandpa taught me with the modern innovations I’ll learn along the way.
