Farming Simulator 25 introduces an exciting side quest for players: an Easter egg hunt in the form of collecting golden apples on Zielonka’s map. These elusive apples are scattered throughout the area, rewarding players with $5,000 each time they are found. According to the local lore, these decorative apples were taken from two trees located on an island in the park’s lake, and it’s now up to the players to return them so the trees can flourish once more.
In contrast to the Riverbend Springs farm collectibles, the Zielonka map boasts an impressive total of 50 golden apples to discover. To simplify the search process, this guide presents the apple locations in a mostly clockwise order, starting from the map’s upper right. The majority of these apples are found within the town on the western side, though players can collect them in any order they prefer.
Note: As of this writing, the golden apple near the pallet factory (location #7) cannot be collected (at least on PS5) due to its position being too close to the factory’s entrance.
Where To Find Every Golden Apple on the Zielonka Map
1. Northeast Corner of Map on a Shed
Starting from the upper right of the Zielonka map, you’ll spot a shed, possibly a chicken coop, hidden away in the woods near field 105. If you walk to the back, you’ll find some outward-leaning wooden beams that support a roof. A golden apple is nestled between one of these beams and the side of the shed.
2. Behind the Sawmill Near NPC Noah
Traveling a bit to the south, you’ll reach the sawmill located in town, where NPC Noah resides. Look just around the corner of the building where Noah stands; you’ll find a golden apple resting on the ground next to an electrical box. Noah frequently provides contracts and can assist with forestry questions.
3. Behind Shipping Containers at the Sawmill
While at the sawmill, head to the opposite end of the production area, where some parked cars sit beside three shipping containers. One golden apple is cleverly hidden behind the largest container, making this an easy find while collecting the previous one.
4. On a Small Balcony at the Top of Stairs
A little southeast of the sawmill is a tall building north of fields 18 and 19. One side of this building features wooden stairs leading up to a small balcony where a golden apple awaits, just out of sight from below.
5. Golden Apple in a Creek Bed Near a Bridge
At the bottom corner of field 24, a small wooden bridge crosses a mostly dry creek bed. Next to this bridge, you’ll find a shiny golden apple nestled in the muddy puddles of the creek.
6. Near the Train Platform and Tracks
Approaching the train tracks behind a grain elevator, you’ll discover a hidden golden apple collectible tucked in a corner near some columns or pipes. This location is close to #7, just on the other side of the building.
7. The Pallet Shop Hides a Challenging Apple in Plain Sight
As mentioned, the golden apple at the pallet shop is currently uncollectible (at least on PS5). Despite its obvious position, its placement near the shop’s entrance makes it impossible to collect without opening the store menu instead.
8. Located in an Animal Feeder in the Forest
To the east of the pallet shop, a dirt road leads deeper into the woods, almost reaching the water. Near the end of this road, in field 107, a wooden animal feeder is nestled within the trees, hiding a shiny golden apple at its base.
9. On a Lookout Tower North of Field 108
Further down the dirt road, you’ll find a tall lookout tower just north of field 108, complete with benches. After climbing several flights of stairs, you’ll spot a golden apple resting on one of the benches, perfectly positioned for a scenic view before the descent.
10. Golden Apple at the Grain Elevator
In the vicinity south of field 49 stands a prominent grain elevator, clearly marked with a Polish name. This massive structure houses three
