How to access Ochre Woods: trigger the Ferry Girl quest
Interact with the Gone Fishing sign by the river between the field and the woods before speaking to the person by the pool in Wisk. That starts the Ferry Girl quest and its blueberry-bun request. The player who had only received grumbling dialogue confirmed that the sign was the missing step.

Start the ferry request before making the bread
- Go to the river crossing between the field and the woods, where the ferry is absent.
- Interact with the Gone Fishing sign. Check your journal for Ferry Girl.
- Return to the person by the pool in Wisk and speak again. The reported next request is a blueberry bun.
- Prepare the requested bread and return to that person to advance the crossing task.
No flour, or no blueberry-bun request?
If the pool conversation only complains about a game, check the sign first; talking repeatedly did not start the request for the questioner. After the request, another player recalls the baked-goods seller giving flour when asked. That flour lead is a recollection, not a guaranteed shop-stock rule. See the flour, watering-can, blueberry and indoor-fireplace steps before searching Ochre Woods for the ingredients needed to enter it.
Ferry access is separate from owning a boat
This answer covers the acknowledged missing quest trigger. It does not establish the purchase of a personal boat, a guaranteed unlock day or every later strong-current route. If the sign does not add the quest, keep the exact journal objective and current dialogue for a follow-up; the reviewed thread supplies no second recovery method.
