Once you have the money and resources to do so (probably not in year 1), consider investing in animals. I'm increasingly convinced that they are a better option in terms of the gold return on your time/work input, which frees you to explore other parts of the game. You can still grow crops in the greenhouse when you need them.
I love having chickens too! I think every playthrough I realize how easy it is to make the mayonnaise machine and the chickens are cute.
I also see that there are fish ponds, and that sounds like a fun animal option too
