New farm but lack of shops

[Anima55]

I just want to say first of all that I love this game and I play it a lot! However .....in the very early stage I have found three things which have put me off a little.
1. There are no shops available to sell eggs or flowers, which results in a 'full' sign but without any option to stop it being full.
2. The amount of produce you can sell in the shops before any upgrades is 'extremely' small meaning you have to constantly teleport to the town a little bit too much for my liking. 10 to 20 harvests and you have to leave for town!
3.Upgrading is very difficult, bearing in mind the amount you have to collect.I wanted to upgrade a shop but needed a fair amount of pears but the game wouldn't allow me to plant pears because I wasn't at a high enough level.

These discrepancies are slightly off putting to the new player. I've found, while creating my farms, that level 11 is a changing point where the game only just begins to become more enjoyable. Before that point, I wonder if players might be put off by the challenges faced in very early stages.

One other point I want to make - One of my farms is around level 146 or so, but I find creating a new farm and having to meet the challenges I have already mentioned in the very early stage, tends to put me off starting that new farm.

I would love to see shops available right from the outset which allow the player to sell eggs and flowers. Also once the tractor becomes available, and the fuel tanker, the amount of crops you can plant and harvest goes up considerably but the upgrades required for the shops don't really match the amount and variety of plants you can harvest. For example, I can easily grow 50 carrots and 40 corn, but the shop won't allow me to sell more than 30 items.It means my avatar is standing around with nothing to do and I don't think that's a good idea in the early stages of the game.

These are just suggestions to make the game slightly more attractive to the very 'new' players or for anyone starting a new farm.

As long as you have your farm with a balanced amount of items, with different resources, you'll be able to do a full harvest without reaching the inventory cap or starving the shops.
