If you sell as much as you can and buy cauliflower right from day one, you will have enough money to buy a lot of strawberries. So by summer, you can have a seriously impressive money pool. As for exploits, speed runners have a way to constantly mine clay and sell that for large sums of money from day one

Plant those wild seeds! Th crops they make are a nice boost

Farm parsnips to lvl farming. Sell hold and silver qualities. That gets money fast.

The best tip is just to stay busy. Keep eating forage and junk fishing items to maintain energy. Make field snacks. Never go to bed early just because your energy is low.

Get Caroline to 2 hearts, then enter her tea room (door in the back of the kitchen at Pierre’s) for a cutscene. She’ll send you the recipe for tea saplings the next day. The ingredients are easy (wood, fiber, wild seeds) and they sell for 500g each.

Some people like clay farming, but I’ve never gotten into it. Seek out some videos if you’re curious.

Otherwise, fishing is the most useful early money maker until your crops get going. Save up to buy strawberry seeds at the Egg Festival.

Toooonns of videos on YouTube for this exact issue but look into tea saplings. They changed in 1.6 but you could argue it was a slight buff

Play a lot ;)

Early game, fishing. On new files I spend the first week getting to lvl 10 fishing then catch the legend on the first raining day after. Put her in a pond and age the roe. Easy money. Waiting until lvl 5/10 to sell the fish adds 25/50% too.

When I'm just getting started and waiting for my crops I like to fish

Hops and keg.

If you’re a ruthless businessman, Joja route for profit.

Depends on how far you are in the game.

Early game: Fishing/Mushroom farming Mid-game: Kegging/Jarring sprinkled crops (Hops/Starfruit/Ancient Fruit/Pumpkins) Lategame: Diamond Crystalariums & selling Iridium Bars after laddering to floor 300-ish in Skull Cavern. Also pigs.

Starfruit wine after casking

Start building bee hives. Every 4 days, it's 100g per honey. Get the artisan perk + flowers, and it only goes up from there.

Depends on how fast and at what stage of the game. I recommend fishing and clay farming if this is just the beginning of the game

The easiest way I’ve found is get farming to level 6 then make several quality sprinklers ( about 8 is enough ) then get the crops that are multi harvest

Just work out how many crops will cover all the sprinklers ( each does 8 ) and each harvest should get a good amount

But as a short ish term investment get a barn up to deluxe then get pigs after grown up they print money ( more with the botanist perk )

Just play the game and it will come

Fishing is definitely a great way to get money starting off. Eventually you’ll be able to plant more seeds and be more automated to make money quicker. But in the beginning fishing & foraging to sell, and giving people gifts will be the most beneficial for you

Befriend Caroline to gain access to her tea room, which she'll send you the recipe for Tea saplings. They're quick and cheap to make and yield lots of profit.

spring 1st year is literally just fishing, fishing a lot, fishing everyday, fishing and fishing, endless fishing, like, literally, you water your plants and then go straight fishing, then buying a lot of strawberries during the egg hunt, and even doing this the eternal fishing continues

Thanks👍 I am sorta new to this reddit and everyone is so nice

Potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes

Depends on how far along in the game you are

Early game I have a fairly small amount of crops, more about getting bundles done than money. I try and repair the beach "bridge" asap for extra forage cash and spend most of the time fishing. I'm saving up for strawberry seeds.

Progressing I switch to focus on farming as soon as I get quality sprinklers (iridium eventually, of course). Basically spending all my cash on seeds, saving for backpack.

With the bigger backpack I hit the mines while my crops are (mostly) automated.

"End game" being keg/jam sheds with ancient fruit from the greenhouse.

I know a lot of people max pigs for the truffle fortune, I just don't like dealing with em.

Collect as much foraging as you can. Become freinds with caroline. Craft tea saplings. Sell them all. At 500gold a peice you can make quite a bit. Hell turn some foraging into plants for even MORE tea saplings

Pickles, jelly, wine, pigs, mayo, aged cheese. I'm waiting for my first stash of iridium wine to come out now, that's gonna be killer.

wine

Okay here is how to get the most money from farming.

In spring: get as much cauliflower from the shop as you can,$80 to buy sells for $175 profit is $95 on average. (Use what I said in the spring one to everything else)

Summer: melons buy $80 sell $250 profit $170

Fall: pumpkin buy $100 sell $320 profit $220

Winter there’s nothing, work on mining and fishing. I really hope this helped

Fishing. When you can afford it get the next rod upgrade. First upgrade lets you put on bait for quicker catches.

Willy sells trout soup. On a good luck day eating that and fishing will be a little easier and the fish may be higher quality.

Fishing is a good way to get money early game!

Hey, Did the tips work out?

I make early money by foraging and fishing.

After I've stored a couple hundred sap, I'll sell all excess sap from cutting trees, as well as all the acorns etc (only early game, later I'll keep everything for crafting). It's not big money, but it helps early game.

Once you build a coop or barn, build mayo or cheese machines to process those items. Makes a big difference compared to selling raw items (although be aware for the shipping perfection, you need to sell a small milk and a small egg of each colour).

Look our for salmonberry and blueberry season, you can get a lot of berries on those days and make some quick money boosts.

I never sell wood, but I personally end up with a lot more stone than I need in early game. Once I hit a stack of 999 stone, I sell the excess (only early game, later I use a lot of stone for paths). If you aren't collecting stone quickly, then don't do this.

Fairy rose honey is a big money-maker in Autumn.

Keep an eye on the board at Pierre's. A lot of the time there are easy requests that will bring in cash. There isn't a penalty for not doing the quest, so I'll generally accept all the quests and see if I can get to it.

I do truffles and coffee mainly but I’m not uber rich. I’m like upper middle class. I have a Junimo hut’s worth of seasonals that regrow a la strawberries, etc

Farming, and process what you farm in preserve jars and kegs (check wiki for what is most efficient for this). Eventually you'll add casks to that mix. Pick Artisan for your level 10 farming skill. Nothing in the game can compare to the profit you can make with this approach because sprinklers, and later the "auto-harvesting feature" (don't want to spoil too much..), allow this to scale far beyond what other approaches can. So you make more money and most days use hardly any of your time to do it.

Fishing has a terrible profit-per-time-spent scale. Mining and selling ores and gems can make decent money, but it takes your whole day or you make nothing, and you can't really scale it up. So it's pretty solid early but not going to get you a golden clock without a very long grind.

For animals, pig truffles, golden cheese from regular cows, and eventually ostriches, are all pretty good money compared to the effort involved. Takes too much space to scale up, and definitely not worth the effort until you can afford auto-harvesters. But I like to supplement my farming with these.

Early game is fishing and tea tree saplings, later on is strawberries, blueberries, cranberries. Pigs, ancient fruit and star fruit wine when you can.

Well uhhh, mostly bombs inside skull caverns for iridium, also the mining level (5? Possibly 10) for +1 ore per vein really helps in the long term. Lucky days, plus lucky food, plus lucky ring, burglars ring for monster rerolls for iridium bars from bats, monster musk, crusader on infinity sword to take care of mummies and slime charmers ring so slimes dont do damage.

Edit: forgot about rabbits foot from the journal scrap.

Selling the tea sapling btw, not placing them for the tea, just making sure

Truffle oil, I make 75k a day on bad days. Even with winter and rainy days counted I make more per day than my ancient fruit wine.

Generally a pig will find one truffle a day at no hearts. But with every heart the chance it finds more increases. I generally never settle for fewer than 12 pigs.

Mostly 128 crystalariums making diamonds

In the spring, sell your parsnip seeds and use that money to buy potato seeds, plant those, and they’ll give you enough for you to buy strawberries during the egg festival. Plant those and sell em. The biggest one is to make smart financial decisions and it’s basically a rule to save one of everything in stardew valley.

Selling tea saplings after crafting foraged goods per season. Need to unlock the recipe for wild seeds form Caroline at two hearts to make the tea saplings from the seasonal seed recipe. Normal levelling up gives you the next seasons recipe for each of the year in due advance naturally. Sell the tea saplings before planting - they sell for 500g each one. A seed pack is crafted from one of each of the foraged items per season: 3-4 items per season, creating 10 seeds per pack. A tea saplings needs 5 fiber, 5 wood and 2 seeds to craft. A seed packet and other fiber with wood creates 5 saplings, sold for 2500g per packet. You need fiber, wood, and one of each forgeable per 10 seeds pack. The crafting is free essentially, the end product only costs you time and sweeten up Caroline by gifting her gold only starred liked items/personal loved items. She likes gold star daffodils by the way - easily found in season and year 1 spring, by finding them. It doesn’t take long, for me 2.3 weeks into spring to get her to unlock the 2 heart cut scene and teach me how to make tea saplings. Then sell them all without a care of making any tea at all. I found this out and managed to get my greenhouse unlocked by mid summer year one on a joja run, played on switch, after already unlocking the mine carts in spring. By Fall I had nearly completed the entire joja/CC unlocks for all initial gameplay. Also I could do this to buy my furniture and decor catalogues as quickly as I wanted them and could spend the year 2 solely spending all in game time doing nothing but have a greenhouse of passive income and just decorate my in game house and farm. A pointless element of gameplay but one I play a lot of my hours in - aesthetics and prettiness of my farm/home and outfit lol

But yeah - game changed for me once I found this out. Taught my bf and he couldn’t admit I had essentially just surpassed his double amount of hours in big brain in SDV. Hates foraging he does, doesn’t decorate etc but couldn’t resist the speed of getting his tool and backpack upgrades without a supply of espresso and his horse once he restarted a new save alongside my own restart. And the days where you cut down one tree, water 4.5 crops and then are exhausted by 7:20am and have to do that slow motion walk on top back to the bed and that takes up more time in game than spent doing anything in the day itself lol (I hate combat and find fishing the most boring part of the entire game so I will do anything to avoid fishing and only venture into the mines when absolutely required for progress. I collect sweet peas from the map daily for no reason… until this became galaxy brain level of strategy. Have fun!

First of all, you don't need to rush the coop. If you still want it, take care of your crops and go fishing the rest of the day. I prefer the woods since there are some good selling fish and it is near your farm. If you have energy problems you can just eat the fish you just got.
