Stardew Valley Crops Guide
Seasonal crop notes for profit, bundles, regrowth, giant crop planning, and first-year planting decisions.
Quick facts
Most crops only grow in their listed season and wither when the season changes after day 28.
Multi-season crops such as Corn, Sunflower, Wheat, Coffee Bean, and Ancient Fruit can continue across valid seasons.
The displayed grow time excludes the planting day; a 5-day crop planted on day 1 is ready on day 6.
How to choose crops
The best crop depends on the remaining days, your sprinkler coverage, whether you need bundle items, and whether a regrow crop has enough time to pay back.
- Short crops improve cash flow; long crops reduce watering frequency.
- Regrow crops reward early planting and steady watering.
- Quality crops need extra copies, fertilizer, or more planted tiles to reduce luck variance.
Season notes
Spring rewards basics and Strawberries, Summer opens stronger profits, and Fall is a high-value season where Cranberries and Pumpkins can carry income.
- Spring: Parsnip, Potato, Cauliflower, and Strawberry are the common pivot points.
- Summer: Blueberry and Melon cover income and bundle needs.
- Fall: Cranberries, Pumpkin, Yam, and Corn are useful for profit and completion.
