In both Little Alchemy and Little Alchemy 2, hay is an important farming element that helps you unlock agricultural, animal, and rural-themed combinations. While it’s not one of the starting items, it’s relatively easy to create once you understand the plant and human progression paths.
This guide will show you how to make hay in both versions, including the fastest routes, alternative combinations, and what you can do with it.
