This is easily one of the most wholesome jam games I've played in awhile. Don't tell others I said this, but in these 3-5 days, you've achieved what most people don't get to in a full 7 day jam. Dialogue, inventory, a shop, player progression, pets, and hints at some story/lore! Quite a bit to throw together, really nice work! You should be proud of yourself.
My only suggestion for next time would be to throw in some sort of "end game" or "end state"; this is where the player feels like they've finished the game. In this case, you could have had some dialogue at the beginning of the game, perhaps the player is reading a letter, saying something along the lines of "You need to earn 200g to save the farm, better get planting! See the shop keeper to pay the loan." And whenever they select that option you could show a "The End, you did it!" screen, etc.
Now I have to say (though I'm a tiny bit ashamed to admit it) this game actually surprised me on how well it was made and how much thought was put into it. The farming is lengthy enough but not to long to be boring. The variety of plants are excellent and having the option to speed up the plant growth with fertilizer from the pig is a great mechanic. Plus, all of the secrets hidden around the map made for a very enjoyable experience. Also, pretty sure I'm the first person to get 1,000 gold <3

Looking forward to your next title!
I Really Appreciate that and every other time I tried to do a game jam I would not even work on it
Surprised at how well made this is, reminds me of my own RPG Maker days, Love it :)
I've tried to make a bunch of other games in RPG Maker and trust me you don't wanna see them
