Run A Farm Ore: What It Is and What to Do With It

What ore is in Run A Farm

In [🎃UPD] Run A Farm! by Farm CStudios, ore comes out of the ground rather than out of the field. The official game description walks through everything a working farm produces — eggs sold at your stand, crops planted and harvested with tractors, goods driven to town by truck — and gives ore its own instruction: "Dig for ore in your own mine."

That single line carries the two things worth knowing. Ore is obtained by digging, and the digging happens in a mine that belongs to you. The description doesn't name specific ore types, so there's no official ore list to chase — the published picture of ore stops at digging it in your own mine and storing it in the bin.

The ore bin and depth counter

Recorded gameplay shows what the mine displays while it's in use. A depth readout tracks how far down you've dug — one session had a player at DEPTH 23 — and dug ore is stored rather than lost: that same session showed an ore bin reading 454/2,600.

The bin counter is the part worth understanding. The first number is the ore you've dug up so far, and the second is how much the bin can hold, so you can tell at a glance how full your mine's storage is. Those exact figures belong to that one session rather than to the game's rules — your own depth and bin numbers will simply reflect how much you've mined.

Where mining fits in the farm loop

Digging ore isn't a side distraction from farm life — the official description lists it in the same breath as the rest of the workload: collect eggs and sell them at your stand, plant and harvest crops with tractors, drive trucks to town to sell goods, dig for ore in your own mine, and hire workers and buy new vehicles to keep it all moving.

So for "what do I do with ore," the supported answer is exactly that: dig it in your mine as one part of running the farm, and let it collect in the bin. The game's description stops at the digging and the storing — it doesn't add ore-specific prices or uses — so the mine is best understood as one more piece of the farm's work rather than a separate system with its own published rules.

If you're just starting out, the Run A Farm beginner guide covers the first steps, while the mining guide and mine location pages focus on the mine itself. Cash keeps every activity in the loop moving, and working Run A Farm codes can add extra cash along the way — the codes page keeps the current list.
