Reviving the Vineyard
The Harvest Goddess plays a major role in the revival of the vineyard. This contributes to a perfect ending of the game and helps the player if they are trying to woo Karen.
*Requirements:
# Give Duke, the bartender, gifts (very berries work the fastest) until he gives the "Doorway to Heaven" wine. Karen will notice it when she is talked to, and it will increase her affection slightly. Kai will be extremely impressed when he notices it.
# Become friends with the Harvest Sprites. An indication their affection increasing is when they stop speaking pig-Latin and begin to say, "I think I remember now!"
# Eventually, the Harvest Sprites will notice the "Doorway to Heaven" wine and will mention something about the spirit of the old tree in the Vineyard. Talk to them the next day and they will say "Anyway, you should ask the Goddess about it."
# Toss a vegetable, egg, or other animal product into the Goddess's Pond to summon the Goddess, and select the only option: "Keifu faeries". This step must be done before Fall 7. This also ends the day, so make sure all chores and errands are completed before 5pm.
# When the player goes to bed on Fall 6, the Goddess will come to the player in their sleep and say that the Keifu Fairies have returned and restored the Vineyard.
# If Karen is at a high Yellow or Pink Heart, she will come to the player's house at 6pm on Fall 7, and invite them to watch the Keifu Fairies dance. The player will receive a picture for this. This is the only day to get Karen's picture - it must be sunny for her to come.
==Trivia==
* It is worth noting that some Japanese references were overlooked. Although the church is presented as Christian and includes a cross, townspeople sometimes discuss the church and its religion in Shinto terms, such as referring to the existence of both a "god of the harvest" and a "god of business". This means that the Harvest Goddess is not the divine talked about in this game.
* The Harvest Goddess is one of few characters who still can be normally found on festival days.
