Virtual Farming, Forestry, Fishing, and Foraging IRL (In Real Life)

With popular videogames such as Stardew Valley, Farming Simulator 2022, My Time at Portia, Animal Crossing, and The Sims all including aspects of farming, forestry, fishing, and foraging, I found it a good idea to compile a list of books about these topics. It is my hope that this list inspires people who enjoy mushroom hunting in Animal Crossing or tending to crops in Stardew Valley (or everything in between) to take their virtual passions and turn them into real-life hobbies.
