Green Pasture Ranch
Green Pasture Ranch is the main livestock facility in Starsand Island, located in the Green Meadow area northwest of your farm. It is owned and operated by Pastelle, who serves as the island's Rancher profession mentor. The ranch sells animals, animal feed, and ranching equipment blueprints. It is also where you begin and advance through the Rancher profession, unlocking new animal species and ranch facilities at each tier.
Location
Green Pasture Ranch sits just north and west of your farm in the Green Meadow area. It is one of the closest points of interest to your home, making it convenient for regular visits. The ranch property includes multiple animal pastures where Pastelle tends to the livestock, a shop building, and several demonstration enclosures. If you cannot find Pastelle inside the shop, she is likely in one of the surrounding pastures caring for animals.

The shop is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. You can track Pastelle's exact location using the Locate or Follow buttons in the Social app on your in-game phone.
Shop Inventory
Pastelle's shop sells three categories of items: livestock animals, animal feed, and ranching blueprints. The inventory expands as you advance through the Rancher profession tiers.

You can purchase animals to place in your farm enclosures. Each animal species becomes available at a specific Rancher tier:

Animals can also be found in the wild by chopping down trees, shrubs, and bushes. Wild animals appear randomly and are free to keep if you have an available enclosure.
Enclosure Blueprints
Before placing any animal on your farm, you need the corresponding enclosure. Pastelle sells enclosure blueprints that range from 150 to 30,000 coins:
Enclosure | For Animal | Rancher Tier |
|---|---|---|
Rabbit Hutch | Rabbit | Apprentice (free blueprint from Pastelle) |
Chicken Coop | Chicken | Junior |
Duck Coop | Duck | Junior |
Pigsty | Pig | Intermediate |
Cattle Barn | Cow | Intermediate |
Sheep Barn | Snowool, Ebowool | Intermediate |
Beehive | Bumblebee | Intermediate |
Stable | Horse | Senior |
Deer Pen | Spotted Deer, Musk Deer | Senior |
Alpaca Barn | Alpaca | Expert |
Ostrich Barn | Ostrich | Expert |
Breeding House | All species (breeding pairs) | Intermediate (3,500 coins) |
The Rabbit Hutch blueprint is given to you for free when you first talk to Pastelle, so you can start ranching immediately. Building a Rabbit Hutch requires 15 Softwood and 5 Fiber. All other enclosures must be purchased and built similarly with varying material costs.
Feed and Equipment
Pastelle also stocks animal feed for purchase. This is the easiest way to feed your animals before you unlock the Feeder station at Apprentice Rancher. The shop sells standard feed for every unlocked animal type. Also, Pastelle sells equipment blueprints for ranching tools like brushes, auto-milkers, and selective breeding systems as you advance through higher tiers.
Pastelle also offers animal mount rental cards that let you temporarily ride mounts before you own your own. This is a useful way to experience the speed boost from mounts early in the game.
The Rancher Profession
Green Pasture Ranch is the hub for the Rancher profession, one of five professions in Starsand Island. To start the Rancher profession, visit the ranch and speak to Pastelle. She walks you through the basics of building a Rabbit Hutch, placing rabbits, and feeding them.
Profession Tiers
Tier | Key Requirements | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
Apprentice | Build a Rabbit Hutch; place and feed rabbits | Basic ranching; Rabbit purchase |
Apprentice | Collect wool from rabbits; complete Alex's "Soft Flannel Fabric" bulletin board request | Feeder station; Apprentice Rancher certificate |
Junior | Raise rabbits to adulthood; collect high-quality byproducts | |
Intermediate | Demonstrate breeding proficiency | |
Senior | Advanced breeding and product collection | Horses, Deer, Stables, Deer Pens |
Expert | Master-level ranching achievements |
Each tier unlocks new animals to purchase, new enclosure blueprints, and upgraded Feeder stations. The Breeding House, unlocked at Intermediate, enables selective breeding by isolating a male and female pair of the same species with at least one open slot for offspring.
Animal Products and Uses
Animals raised on your farm produce various byproducts that feed into other game systems:
Product | Source Animal | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
Wool | Rabbit, Snowool, Ebowool | |
Fur | Cow, Musk Deer | Leather production at the Loom |
Eggs | Chicken, Duck, Ostrich | Cooking, feed ingredient |
Milk | Cow, Snowool, Ebowool (Sheep Milk) | Cooking, dairy products |
Honey | Bumblebee | Cooking, gift item |
Truffles | Pig | High-value cooking ingredient, gift |
Feathers | Chicken, Duck | Crafting arrows and decorations |
Musk | Musk Deer (males) | Rare ingredient for perfumes and gifts |
Poop | Fertilizer for farming |
Poop is a universal byproduct that doubles as fertilizer for your farm plots, creating a natural synergy between ranching and farming. Rabbits additionally serve a farm utility role: placing them near crop fields lets them eat weeds, reducing your manual weeding workload. Chickens eat bugs (pest control), and Ducks eat snails that damage crops.
Pastelle
Pastelle is the owner and operator of Green Pasture Ranch. She is the daughter of Garrick and the older sister of Bruce. She studied veterinary medicine on a nearby island starting at age sixteen and returned at nineteen to manage the family ranch. Despite her quiet, gentle personality, she secretly harbors a passion for adventure stories and sneaks reads of martial arts novels when no one is looking.
Pastelle is one of the 8 bachelorettes in Starsand Island and can be romanced. Her bedroom is inside the Green Pasture Ranch building, accessible at Heart Level 3 (370 Affection Points). She especially appreciates gifts related to flowers and nature, including Blue Hydrangea, Moonflower, and Dragon Fruit. She dislikes Milky Candy and Strawberry Milk, and hates Soup Dumplings.
During winter months when ranch demands decrease, Pastelle visits Lunelle's Ethereal Styles boutique for knitting lessons and explores food stalls in the plaza alongside Bruce.
Tips for Using the Ranch
Component | Details |
|---|---|
Visit early and often | Green Pasture Ranch is right next to your farm. Make it a daily stop to check stock, buy feed if you are running low, and progress the Rancher profession. |
Start with rabbits | Rabbits are the cheapest animals at 75 coins and produce Wool (for the textile chain) plus Poop (for fertilizer). They also eat weeds in your fields, saving you weeding time. |
Free wool trick | You can pick up 1 to 2 pieces of Wool or Fur from Pastelle's ranch animals with no consequences. This is a small but free source of textile materials before your own animals are producing. |
Buy feed until you have a Feeder | You will not unlock the Feeder until Apprentice Rancher. Until then, Pastelle's shop is your only feed source. Budget coins accordingly. |
Plan your enclosure layout | Each animal needs its own specific enclosure type. Before buying animals, make sure you have enough space on your farm and the materials to build the enclosure. |
Use utility animals | Place Rabbits near fields to eat weeds, Chickens for pest control, and Ducks for snail removal. These farm benefits are worth the feed cost even if you do not need their byproducts. |
