The popular Roblox farming simulator, Grow a Garden, has launched its highly anticipated Trading and Cooking Event Update. Released on August 2, the update introduces a new cooking event, a comprehensive trading system, and a variety of new pets and cosmetic items.
A central feature of the update is the Chris P. Bacon Cooking Event, where players can use fruits and vegetables from their gardens to craft new recipes in the Cooking Pot. These dishes can be given to the event’s main character, Chris P. Bacon, to earn unique rewards. The value and rarity of the ingredients used will determine the quality of the rewards received. Adding a layer of strategy, the character’s food cravings change every hour.
Key rewards from participating in the event include the Gourmet Seed Pack, Gourmet Egg, Food Crate, Pet Shard Fried, Mochi Mouse, and the Artichoke and Fork Fence.
