Bundles

Complete bundles in the community center

https://www.usgamer.net/articles/stardew-valley-how-to-get-the-greenhouse-and-grow-plants-in-winter#section-2

Here’s a guide

Get lucky with the travelling cart or switch from community center to Joja completion.

Look in the traveling cart for any items you’re missing for bundles every Friday and Sunday.

Unfortunately, if you’re missing a lot of crops that are now out of season, you will probably have a tough time getting everything you need.. especially before winter. You may have to wait until the seasons come around again.

Year 3 Spring. This is my first play through, so not sure what the “normal” time is.

I’m now in year 3 summer, so still trying to figure out how to even best setup my greenhouse.

For some reason I thought I didn’t need to water in there 😂

Plus now you can get I think two saplings from the early prize tickets, plant them on the farm, have them mature for fruit then cut them down and move to the greenhouse after you unlock it with the fruit they gave you 😂

i didnt realise for a long time i had it unlocked, i just thought it was a rundown building on my farm so i didnt look at it much. dont think i realised for a season or 2🙏

They're really not, tho. You can get the saplings back, you just lose the time invested in it and have to start over

I tried to use the fruit bat cave and those little bastards refused to give me apples so I had to plant two trees in my greenhouse to get that bundle done. The day after I finish the bundle, I check the caves and there’s 4 apples..

The tough part is getting an adult pig before winter. You have to remember buy it like halfway through fall.

Chop them down and you get the sapling back

You can chop them down and get the sapling back. So you don't have to worry as much. :)

The traveling merchant got me the truffle early in my co-op game

I usually get it by the end of year 1 or in spring of year 2. The Artisan bundle is the hardest to complete IMHO.

You can cut them down and receive a tiered sapling now depending on how many years it’s been planted

When I unlocked it for the first time, I left the room to go to the bathroom and all I heard was building noises from my headset.

I didn't realize it unlocked until probably 2-3 seasons later. The greenhouse was surrounded by tons of trees, basically covered

Yay!! So many new possibilities!! I recommend a plant or two of strawberries and blueberries and cranberries because they stay forever and you can sell for good money or make into something else. For mine I have every type of repeating harvestable plant in there.

What ya gonna grow

Nice! I use mine to grow Starfruit and Ancient Fruit mostly

Congrats! I always try and get it as early as I can

Gratz!

If you can craft a pot to put it in and you have seeds you may be abke to grow it in the house? Otherwise the travelling cart is your best option check on both days!

maybe the cart lady will sell you the beans ... but I think you'll have to wait, without the greenhouse the seeds won't grow out of season anyhow

there’s a chance the travelling merchant could have one

Thanks for all the replies☺️ I will keep checking the traveling cart every time to see if I can get them.

unlocking the ginger island farm earns you a giant greenhouse.
And by building a shed, filling it with pots and using the premium retainer soil you make a new greenhouse.

So, unlocking the greenhouse pretty much requires a lot of farming for the bundles, unless you are doing a Joja run.

Joja is definitely easiest. $5k for Joja membership, then $35k for the greenhouse.

The community center pantry bundle can take awhile. Either need to get lucky with the traveling cart to get the animal and artisan parts of the pantry bundle, or have to be very efficient to get those items.

If you’re going the community center route having Demetrius use the cave for bats is a big help, you can get all the tree fruit from the cave.

planting a lot of parsnip until you get a 5 gold quality of it.

when it is summer, you can plant melon and corn. if you completed all the other bundle that is part of the "pantry bundle" you could complete it by the end of summer.

wait, if you buy the fall crops in the "traveling merchant" then you can probably complete it by the end of summer.

Buy it from Joja Mart is the fastest, but if you want to do the community center bundles, I think the limiting item is pumpkin, which isn't available until Fall.

You can use deluxe speed-gro and the agriculturist profession to get pumpkin a few days early, maybe Fall 9 or so at the earliest.

Jojamart.

If done perfectly, the community centre will unlock it on Fall 9- using deluxe speed-gro and agriculturalist to grow the pumpkin.

The Joja membership costs 5,000 and the greenhouse costs 35k, for a total of 40k. It is not unreasonable to have this in early summer using a typical potatoes-strawberry strategy. Potentially even earlier with optimised money making like clay farming or tea saplings.

This is fantastic news! I am loving this game so far. The biggest thing I discovered so far is that giving gifts is absolutely essential! I just got my greenhouse, so this is really helpful. Thank you!!!

I’ve got 2 greenhouses and was going to get 2 more.

Are you saying there are stone tiles covering till-able dirt in there?

Ho shit and i just got my greenhouse!

I didn't know about this either! Thanks for sharing
