Alas, there is a quicker way from the farm to the coneatorium (never forget Hoshira's Farm either...you could milk on the way up to Mt. Antora from farming).

Jump in water, swim up to Silverstun's, get out at dock, catch rail line at the northern playerhouse complex or the Baddies castle. Take rail to Antora, walk and/or ski down. In the end faster than coming up all the way from Bomboria.

Also remember, you must go to Harmonia to bake pies.

Furthermore milking is not a constant D job like pie, and thus it is less of a strain. I don't think ANY of you want to hear the actual truth about the easiest way to make money in Graal, so I'm providing Spoiler Space

Regular snow cones are the single best job, save perhaps mining. You can get farm eqpt easily, complete sets are never more than 40G, and you need those for apples anyway. Secondhand farming equipment and a bottle or two are in fact cheaper than mining.

Once you're on the job, milking is a relaxing thing to do, even whilst you read a book. Watering the ice is no pain at all, in fact it exists only for realism (in that the snowcone lady is too busy running her twenty-four-hour operation to step out for ice).

As for time involved, with regular snow cones you needn't farm (at Hoshira's, about fifty minutes for somewhere between 24 and an effective maximum of 48 to 60, and VERY hard to get so much as an apple a minute without a lot of strain.). If it takes 8 minutes to make 3 snow cones, that's about 15G in the time it takes you to farm.
