Crop for each season?

[YOUИG LORD +!!+:)]

What are the most profitable crops for each season?

[I Kinda Fail]

Spring: Strawberries, potatoes, cauliflower
Summer: Hops, starfruit, blueberries and melons
Fall: Sweet gem berries (although it's hard to get seeds for them), cranberries, pumpkins

I'm pretty sure I got the order right.
- Strawberries are great, but you can't get many during your first year; it's best to buy from the Flower Dance, plant them, then sell your silver/gold star berries and keep the normal ones to toss into a seed maker when you plant them. Once you get a greenhouse you can plant those and use the seedmaker to have a bunch of seeds by the next Spring.
- Hops are the most profitable crop in the game, but they also require you have numerous kegs. If you plant 150 hops, that's 2550 or so hops harvested. It takes 2-3 days to make ale, and ale sells for 300 each. If you don't have many kegs, do starfruit, as they grow much slower but their wine sells for way more per.
- Cranberries are very profitable if you plant a ton of them. It helps if you have lots of preserve jars.

Well thank you so much for the tips. But I have a question, where is Flower Dance?

I kinda did that on my first year, currently on winter year 1 and i only have 30000g :(

Fower dance is in Cindersap Forest.

The flower dance is a festival that happens on Spring 14, I think. The mayor should send you a letter the day before it happens, and the game says "The flower dance has begun in the forest" when it starts.

Keep in mind that you should be getting stuff to process your goods.
Put your cheap crops, like blueberries, into preserve jars. This doubles their value and adds 50g on top of it. So a 50g blueberry would be doubled to 100g, and then added 50, so your blueberry is now worth 150g. It takes 2-3 days, though.
You can put high value fruit into kegs to make wine for 3x the profit. Don't do this with cheap crops; a blueberry = 50g, 50x3 = 150. The exact same prize as a preserve jar, which is more than twice as fast.
Kegs can also turn wheat and hops into beer over the course of 2 days, selling for 200 and 300g each.
Likewise, animal products can be turned into artisan goods with the proper equipment. Eggs into mayo, milk into cheese, wool into cloth, truffles into oil...

A general rule of thumb, at least for newer players, is to sell your silver/gold star crops and hold onto your normal ones to be processed. Selling silver/gold should both refund the seed cost and add a small bit of profit. However, for things like cranberries where you can end the season with over 500, it might be safe to sell a large amount of the stack (Say, sell 300 out of 500) and turn the remaining ones into jelly or wine.

I've been doing the opposite of that, I have a lot of star crops to sell, should i do it now?
Do i need a preserve jar for every crop?

The bigger value crops should have kegs, you run starfruit with kegs.

berries you'd run with preserve jars. Berries produce a ton of crops. Berries could alternatively be run thru a seed maker to make seeds, which grants a chance at ancient fruit which provides more gold per day than any other crop

if you plant ancient fruit on spring 1-4 with delux speed gro you get 8 harvests. by end of fall.

each crop is 550. so its 52 gold per day. rare seed in fall is more but you'll be hard pressed to fill a field with it, and it only lasts one season. and can't be turned into wine.

Where can I get starfruit?

[I Kinda Fail]

You can get 1 starfruit seed from the museum after turning in some number of artifacts.

After you repair the bus via the Community Center or Joja Bundles, there's a shop where the bus takes you Calico Desert that sells rhubarb for Spring, starfruit for Summer, and beets for Autumn/Fall.

I've heard that beets are very good for money if you make them into sugar, and that starfruit are a good choice as well. But what about the rhubarb? Is that kind of a dud monrywise?

[blackcat_gc]

just all berries, good money, no need to replant and till soil every season

Well thanks a lot for the help :)

Thanks for the breakdown, Red255. I'm not real good at crop cash breakdowns, so that was very useful.

Though I have to say, in real life I would not be in any hurry to try rhubarb wine. My husband and I tried cranberry wine last Christmas and my goodness was it horrible. I can't imagine that the other stuff would be any better.

How do I turn beets into sugar?

[abenlen]

I believe by having Robin build a mill on your farm.
