The Plantar Farm is the home of the Plantar family and the guest home of Anne Boonchuy during her time in Amphibia. After the end of the war, the Plantars continue to live on the farm while selling a new produce called "Hop Pop's California Avocados" because Hop Pop brought in Avocados from LA, Cali, USA, Earth.
Appearance[]
The Plantar farm consists of a housing unit surrounded by fields and a little red shed where tools are placed. The house is quite aged and is made from the stump of a tree as is the case for a number of houses in Wartwood. There is a small yellow wooden front door and a circular window beside it. A bio-luminescent mushroom has also been implanted beside the door acting as the light of the front porch. The house appears to have three floors and has a red wooden roof with a large branch protruding from the side. Moss and grass are also seen prominently growing throughout the exterior of the house. There is also a small wooden chimney set atop the third floor's roof. The back porch also has access to a lake where the Plantars keep a moored ship.
Hop Pop has his own bedroom by the entrance to the house while Sprig and Polly's respective rooms are on the second floor along with a bathroom. The third floor, aka the attic, seems to be a sort of observatory, given the telescope by the balcony there.
It is later revealed that the ancestors of the Plantar family also occupied the residence, having made secret chambers for their own studies and occupations.
Basement[]
Anne used to live in the basement of the house, which is made of stone walls and lighted by bio-luminescent mushrooms. There is a small hatch located in front of the main door and wooden staircase leading to the basement. In "Flood, Sweat & Tears", the basement is flooded when river lampreys drill a hole into the floor's base which resulted in Anne temporarily sleeping in Sprig's room (which cause their friendship to be strained and led to a fight), then on the living room's couch. After Anne left Amphibia for good in the series finale, Sprig began to use the basement as his research room for his work on studying Amphibia wildlife. He also had it set up to remind himself of his human friend/sister figure.
There is an extended version of the basement filled with the Plantar family's rich history. As of the events of "Commander Anne", it is changed into an underground base for the Wartwood Resistance to fight against Andrias.
In the episode "Newts in Tights", Hop Pop discovers Leif's hidden room that can only be accessed using the Plantars' Family Tome.
History[]
In "All In", it was revealed that the Plantar Farm was originally an old cut down tree that Leif found and later turned into a home after she hid the Calamity Box on Earth. Leif would change her named to Lily Plantar and later started a family with another frog, spending the rest of her life on the farm.
In "Anne or Beast?", Anne Boonchuy moved in after being taken up by Hop Pop and leaving the cave she previously resided in. It has been known to be in poor shape, as throughout the show there have been many damages brought to the house including broken walls, flooded basements, ceiling collapsing, breaking equipment, and window shattering. In episodes such as "Cursed!", it is shown that the Plantar family is so used to the poor status of the house that when the door literally fell down, Polly asked Hop Pop if he was going to fix the door, to which Hop Pop replied, "eventually."
In "Flood, Sweat & Tears", Anne's basement room got flooded so Anne had to bunk into Sprig's room until Hop Pop fix the leak in the meantime, however things got complicated between Anne and Sprig as they couldn't stand each other. So, they decided to fix the leak, but were attack by giant Lampreys and managed to defeat them and fix the leak. Anne decides to sleep on the couch until it flooded.
In "Stakeout", when Anne and Hop Pop's arguing was getting on Sprig's nerves, he decided to steal the corn and make it look a thief was stealing them. So, he forces Anne and Hop Pop to go out on a stakeout in order to capture the thief while Sprig watches them. Then, he decided to become the Corn Thief when Anne and Hop Pop started fighting again. Polly attempt to stop him, but Anne and Hop Pop saw them as monsters due to the drinks they drunk until they saw it was Sprig who promised to never manipulate them again.
In "Handy Anne", Anne and the Plantars decided to head to Newtopia by having Bessie pulling the Fwagon in order to see if the Newts can help Anne home. Before the journey, Hop Pop hires Chuck to watch over the farm while they're on a journey to Newtopia. Anne grows worried will do a terrible job, so she gets rid him and buys all kind of stuff to protect, but unfortunately, she accidentally created a veggie monster made from a formula that she got from Leopold Loggle. The monster accidentally destroys the farm, enraging Anne and killed the monster. The farm was later rebuilt and Chuck return to watch over the farm while Anne and the Plantars head to Newtopia.
In "The Shut-In!", Anne, Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop lock themselves inside to tell scary stories during the shut in. Polly then turns into a monster after looking at the Blue Moon.
Marcy Wu later came to the farm to take Anne and the Plantars on a mission by King Andrias to recharge the Calamity Gems on the box at the temples in order for Anne, Sasha and Marcy to get home. Unaware to them, this was part of Andrias and The Core's plan to dismantle a prophecy involving the girls. After charging one of the gems at the first temple, Marcy stays at the farm until they completed their journey. She slept in the Fwagon while the farm.
In "Maddie & Marcy", Anne and Sprig were watching a show on Anne's phone while Maddie and Marcy set out to help Rosemary, Lavender, and Ginger Flour after they used a growth spell to make them big.
In "Turning Point", Sasha and Grime went to spend the night in the Plantars' house after they escaped King Andrias' castle.
In "Adventures in Catsitting", a series of flashbacks show that the Plantars had a cousin named Stanley who was a freeloader who stayed with them for a long time until it turns out he wasn't really their cousin and he had been painting his body orange with Plantar paint. The Plantars finally got tired of him and threw him out the window.
Sometime during King Andrias' reign, the Plantar farm was ransacked, and its basement would serve as the Wartwood Resistance's underground base.
In "The Hardest Thing", nine months after the end of the war, the farm is restored to its former state and the Plantars continue residing there with their home converted to "Hop Pop's California Avocados" as they began growing avocados they received during their time on Earth.

Marcy in "The First Temple" said the Plantar Farm was built somewhere around the mid-first century to the early-second century in Amphibia's history.
- This is the only residence of a member of the Calamity Trio to not be abandoned by the end of the series.
