Which Crops Should I Keep, Which Should I Sell?

[molten]

My first year in game is over and I'm in Spring. But I feel like I make so little money. I am guranteed to make 1140g per day by selling Mayonaisse, but my crops just sit there. I don't sell them because I feel like they are all necessary in some way. Which crops should I sell, keep etc. Thanks for any help, I am still a beginner.

Depend.

I tend to sell gold quality only during first year but since ~y2 I ahve so much jars and kegs I cna utilize everything I produce (+need reserve crop for full winter) so I stop sell crop completely (just for 15 of each and 300 of one for achieve)

Otherwise I keep like 3 of crop every type for quests, fish ponds requests and similar.

If you have money issues, you could sell silver, gold and purple quality stuff and just keep regular stuff to have for quests and gifts.
Depending on how much crops you have, you could also keep 2 or 3 higher quality ones for gifts, as i think there is a different between high quality gifts and regular ones.

yes it is. irridium quality give +50%, gold +25% and it goes down to silver +10%.

So irridium liked gift is like 67 friendship points - close to loved non quality loved gift (80)

However majority of town people can be given just some foraged items (eg. most like flowers) that you get in irridum quality with right perks or love gems,while only some "love" farm crop. So it is nto big reason "waste" so much crop that cna be sued for profit for gifts (if you are at stage where money matter) - only if it is loved gift and there is only few of such(like strawberry for Maru and Demetrius birthday)

Okay. I decided I am going to save around 20% of all the crops for recipes and quests, and sell the rest.

Note real big rpofit from crop come with processing in jars and kegs - much more than can be get from sell crop directly, even high quality. So is highly suggested start build jar and keg facilities and never leave them empty/not working (=have enough in storage in advance in particualr for winter)

It is just good to start think about it in advance than miss big opportunity cost later. (but sure you need to start somehow so early selling high quality is good idea - however eg. gold quality califlower sells for 262g, with tiller 288g. While processed in jar it is 400g, with artisan even 560 so almost twice as muchfor crop itself - making even bigger difference for lower quality as it does not matter for the process)

I try to keep like 5 of everything.

Cheap crap like blueberries get tossed in a preserves jar. Expensive stuff like melons get turned into wine.

Silver and gold-star crops get sold as-is, immediately.

The only time I sell normal stuff is when I need just a bit more money (like I have 8k, and need 10k for a tool upgrade) or when I have way too many and it's being replaced by something else. (Like if I have 1k blueberries, and I'm now up to 300 cranberries - I'll sell like 500 blueberries.)

My wealth goal is to get a shed full of kegs, then process them with starfruit or ancient fruit every week. I may have another shed full of preserves jars, and I will process everything else in those: melons, cauliflower, pumpkins, any other berries or vegetables i may have.

The price of melon wine may be more than melon preserves, but the preserves only take two days compared to seven. Therefore the gold per day is higher with preserves jars than kegs, usually, except for the very highest value crops.

The other crops I love to use are hops for pale ale, or wheat for beer. This makes cheap and fast growing crops into very high value products, and they process super fast.

The only reason I would grow other crops would be because I want them for particular recipes or gifts. I grow hot peppers to use as gifts for Lewis and Shane. I grow pumpkins to make pumpkin soup for mining in the skull cavern. Pam loves parsnips.

personaly not counting things i know i will need {be it wood stone clay coal etc} i just keep 2 samples of everything normal and 2 samples of everzthing best quality.... the rest is generaly thrown to bin

idk if anyone does this, but whenever my crops are ready i just press shift + right click everytime i have to sell them in the box so i will only sell the half amount of the crops i got and keep the other half so it's 50/50 tho i do not know if it's effective.
