I would also include some hops, melon, and pumpkins, depending on how much processing capacity you’ve built up. Coffee beans also let you replant and turn one bean into a bunch. (Junimo huts recommended for coffee and hops harvesting.)

Looks about right for just raw produce! Sweet Gem Berries are also good in fall, though obviously it's hard to get enough of them.

Spring: Cauliflower, Rhubarb, Strawberry (the only exclusive spring crop you don't have to replant after harvest).

Summer: Melon, Starfruit, Red Cabbage, Blueberry

Fall: Pumpkin, Cranberries

Routinely available:

• Spring - potato, strawberry (festival on 13th, consider buying some extra for next year), cauliflower (more important once you have a significant number of kegs/jars)
• Summer - blueberry, melon (see cauliflower), hops (put in kegs for big profit)
• Fall - cranberry, pumpkin (see cauliflower)
• Winter - wild seeds (craft 4 items into 10 seeds, repeat u til final week of season, save some to jumpstart next winter - this is also the easiest way to get more leeks for George and horseradish for Krobus)

Rare seeds can be bought at the traveling cart each Fri/Sun in spring/summer. Plant on fall day 1. Can’t be processed, so eventually other stuff outpaces them.

Ancient seeds can be obtained several obscure ways. Plant in the greenhouse or on the island and they produce forever, or outdoors on spring day 1 for several harvests. Use seed makers to make more seeds. High priority for kegs.

Unlocking the desert lets you buy some more seeds. Starfruit is top priority for kegs, but ancient fruit regrows (and faster) after the usual wait.

Coffee beans are sometimes sold at the cart or dropped in the icy mine levels. Plant in spring or early summer to grow a bunch more beans, which can be replanted until you decide you have enough. Put in kegs for coffee to sell and/or drink yourself, Gus also sells a Triple Shot Espresso recipe.

Ancient fruit in greenhouse for constant money.

Starfruit in summer for cash boost.

Rare seeds sell for shitloads each as a base price. Just take ages to grow.

Winter seeds are a good way to keep crop spaces open, and give you plenty of forage to sell for winter money outside of fishing. Would reccomend most if you have sprinklers.

Strawberry, blueberry, and cranberry I believe.

You dont really need to worry about Gold. You will soon be earning more than you can spend.

Seriously the game is super unbalanced. You need gold to get bigger barns & coops, but after getting them & some processing machines you start to earn millions.

Just have a go at growing everything & keep some of the produce to experiment on later when you have Kegs & Preserve Jars.

Spend time fishing in different spots. Go to the mine & see how you go without dying. Build chests & keep multiples of everything.

The Traveling Cart has them on Fridays and Sundays in spring and summer.

For Spring, I plant kale until the egg festival if I don't have strawberries, then strawberries after buying them at the festival with the kale money, ensuring I buy as many extra strawberry seeds as I can to have them for the start of next Spring rather than the middle.

For Summer, I plant blueberries, if I don't have access to the desert, or starfruit, if I do.

For Fall, I plant cranberries, if I'm sitting on a lot of money, or pumpkins, if I'm not, or whichever combination of them I can afford that fills my sprinkler capacity.

But eventually it's all ancient fruit all the time, once I have enough fruit lying around to sustain seed production for the whole farm. At which point, I plant them by Spring 7 and let them grow through all three seasons.

These are my main crops to plant in bulk:

Spring- strawberry

Summer- starfruit

Fall- cranberries

Year 1 spring cauliflower, summer melon, fall pumpkin.

Put whatever you can in as many preserve jars first, then kegs. Then from kegs into cask if you can afford the basement.

It’s the berries that don’t require replanting and are excellent supplementations but not that profitable.

Selling crops gets you income instantly but you’re hurting yourself in the long run by not processing them as you should be. That’s why you can build sheds for processing large batches.

Preserves Jar

(It should be noted that these calculations only involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required, the preserves jar outpaces the keg regardless of the base value of the item (in every case except for Hops and Wheat) since the preserves jar has a much faster processing time.)

i recommend getting the greenhouse and desert as fast as possible, i made the mistake of getting it really late and have hardly done anything in like year 7

Your first spring go with potatoes. Make sure to have money saved up for the spring festival on the 14th (I think that's the right day) and buy strawberries. They are the true best spring crop. You can get 2 harvests

Summer time is blueberries

Fall is cranberries. Seeing a pattern here?

Make sure to save money for the beginning of each new season to maximize profits. And if you can get the pantry completed before winter, you will have the greenhouse which will be great.

This guide should help.

The stardew valley WIKI is your best friend. Dangerously funny also has about a thousand videos on youtube for beginners tips as well.

Spring - a bit of everything. I focus on potato’s mostly but strawberries are good from year 2.

Summer - hot peppers with a few rows of melons.

Autumn - cranberries

All three only need planting once and keep producing so it saves time and cost in the long run.

You can sub hot peppers with corn as that’ll grow over both summer and autumn but don’t have as much yield.

Spring - potatoes and strawberries. Summer - blueberries, corn and hops. Fall- cranberries and pumpkins.

For Big Money

Spring...strawberries, cauliflower and potato's. Summer..melons, star fruit and cabbage. Fall... Pumpkins Green house... ancient fruit and star fruit.

I have an excel sheet for what gives me the best price compared to what I put into it and when I can harvest it. I'd be willing to make a copy on Google Docs and share it with you if you'd like.

It depends on your goals and resources.

Goals: Are you trying to complete Community Center bundles? Trying to max cash for Joja Community Development?

Resources: How much cash do you have? Do you have sprinklers? Upgraded watering can? Junimo huts? How much time effort are you willing to spend watering, harvesting, and replanting?

For example, coffee can be exponentially profitable, but it requires a big time and effort commitment: clearing land, planting more every time you harvest beans, so many plants to water and harvest, and replant.

here is a guide that can help you, friend :)

ancient fruit

Most profitable or least work or what?

Spring: cauliflower Summer: blueberries/starfruit (wine) Fall: pumpkin (pickles)

Berries are basically your best friend.

Strawberries, blueberries, cranberries.

Ancient fruit is actually the best but it can be slow going to get your first full crop.

Sweet gem berries arent really worth the trouble IMO.

Spring: ancient fruit. Summer: ancient fruit Fall: ancient fruit

Definitely strawberries, blueberries, cranberries. They don't have to be replanted and grow multiple berries per harvest.

I haven't tried all the crops but here are some profitable crops

spring: strawberries, cauliflower

summer: hops(for pale ale), blueberries, melon

fall: cranberries, pumpkin

so far those are the crops that I planted and made profit of

Wheat is the best all around, good all year. Per season, onions corn and kale have the best ROI. But if you don't have sprinklers yet, rice fields are easy and low maintenance.

I like that I don’t have to water my rice.
