# Overview

The Farm is the Beanstalk ecosystem. Anyone can become a Farmer by interacting with Beanstalk.

The Farm has four primary components: the Sun, Silo, Field and Toolshed.

The [Sun](/almanac/farm/sun.md) offers payment for participation in timekeeping and regular code execution. Time on the Farm is kept in Seasons.

The [Silo](/almanac/farm/silo.md)—the Beanstalk DAO—offers passive yield opportunities to owners of Bean and other whitelisted assets for participation in governance of Beanstalk upgrades and contribution to security, liquidity and stability.

The [Field](/almanac/farm/field.md) offers yield opportunities to creditors for participating in peg maintenance.

The [Toolshed](/almanac/farm/toolshed.md) offers a suite of tools for efficient use of Beanstalk and other Arbitrum-native protocols.

The [Barn](/almanac/farm/barn.md) is the Beanstalk recapitalization facility being used to Replant Beanstalk but is not a primary component of the Farm.
