Guide for Stardew Valley - Farming

August 2024 ยท 4 minute read

This section will cover the Farm levels, fertilizers, animal produce, various crops, their value, and how long they take to harvest. For reference, the price the items sell for is normal, silver, gold, and if applicable, iridium (N/S/G/I), which is indicated by the star (or lack of) by the crops icon.

All crops MUST be watered once a day, or they will die, making your work and money, go poof. You can use fertilizer to make plants grow faster, be worth more, require less watering, and even form Giant versions of themselves.

Giants sometimes form when a 3x3 grid of the same plant mature, odds can be increased with a 3x4 grid. Giants produce between 15 to 20 of the crop instead of 9, and can only be harvested with an axe. Only Cauliflower, Melons, and Pumpkins can be Giants.

Farming will earn you the following achievements:
