Some of the best crops in Stardew Valley grow only in Fall, and it's arguably the best season for farmers looking to turn a profit. Like Spring and Summer, Fall has a rotation of seasonal crops that all have the potential to be profitable. You should focus on growing the best high-value crops in the Fall, which can be sold for profit or used as ingredients for high-quality Artisan Goods.

You can grow a total of 15 different crops in Fall, so you must start planning out the season before Summer ends. Some of the best crops for the season are highly profitable but take weeks to grow. Don't forget to prep your farm with different fertilizers as you plan out the Fall, as their effects can be game-changing, but it's also easy to forget to use them.

15 Broccoli

No Payment Required

One of the new items from Stardew Valley's 1.6 update is Broccoli , a new Fall crop that you don't have to buy the seeds for. Broccoli Seeds can be found practically everywhere, from Mystery Boxes, Seed Spots, and dungeon crates. In addition, you can earn Broccoli Seeds by completing Raccoon requests, making it one of the easiest crops to collect without having to spend any Gold whatsoever.

Unfortunately, Broccoli doesn't sell for much and takes longer than other crops to grow. Although you'll likely gain a ton of Broccoli Seeds from your normal activities, it can be hard to invest too much farming space in growing them. Broccoli is, however, a great starting crop that can be used in the Fall Crops bundle to help you earn a rare reward from growing different kinds of plants in the Fall season.

14 Corn

A Reliable Multi-Season Staple Crop

Getting value out of Corn can be tricky, as the humble cereal crop isn't particularly profitable. However, it's one of the few crops that can be grown across two seasons and can be harvested multiple times. Multiple harvests across Summer and Fall allow you to turn a decent profit on this crop, even though it's not particularly stellar in of pure profit.

Corn is also one of the best crops to include in Stardew Valley's Community Center bundles. You can fill a slot in the Fall Crops and Quality Crops Bundles with Corn, bringing you a few steps closer to completing the Community Center.

As a multi-season crop, Corn also won't die when Summer ends. Having a small patch of land dedicated to growing Corn means that you won't have to start replanting your whole farm from scratch at the start of Fall. You'll also have some crops to harvest and sell, giving you extra gold to spend on other Fall crop seeds.

13 Sunflower

Make Other Items More Profitable

A Sunflower may seem like a waste of money to grow, considering how little it sells for compared to the cost of its seeds. However, those who make Sunflowers will quickly realize that the flower is self-sustaining, producing 1-2 Sunflower Seeds every time you harvest a grown flower. You only have to buy Seeds once before you get enough seeds to grow another, and another, and so on.

Like many flowers, Sunflowers are great gifts for villagers. Haley, in particular, loves Sunflowers, so you can deepen your bond with her if you gift her one during the Fall season.

Sunflowers are used in two separate bundles, allowing you to earn rewards from their growth. While Sunflowers also grow in the Summer, you can grow them early in the Fall to place them within range of a Bee House building. Any Honey produced from a Bee House surrounded by Sunflowers will be more profitable, so you'll want to grow these flowers fast to make your other projects yield better items.

12 Fairy Rose

An Excellent Choice For Aspiring Beekeepers

Flowers are often loved gifts for Stardew Valley's twelve marriage candidates and other villagers, and fields of flowers can make your farm look rather picturesque. Unfortunately, they're not cheap to grow and don't sell for much. On paper, the Fairy Rose fits the description perfectly: high seed cost, low sell price, and an average margin between the two.

Poppies are a great choice if you're romancing Penny, as they're one of her Loved gifts and will win you a lot of Friendship Points. Similarly, Sunflowers are one of Haley's Loved gifts.

What makes the Fairy Rose shine is its utility for making Honey. By placing a Bee House within five squares of a Fairy Rose flower, you can produce Fairy Rose Honey. This sells for 680g a jar, a massive increase over the 100g selling price of basic Wild Honey. This is one of the best items to sell in Stardew Valley, assuming you've collected the resources for crafting more than one Bee House. Make sure to grab the Artisan Profession when your Farmer's Farming Skill hits Level 10. This adds an extra 40% to the selling price of Artisan Goods!

11 Bok Choy

Craft A Very Energizing Meal

Bok Choy may seem like a Fall crop without too much selling purpose, but making a few from some cheap seeds that grow quickly can lead to interesting rewards. For example, Bok Choy plants make great gifts for villagers, at a much cheaper cost than Fairy Roses. While they may not deepen bonds as much, these plants are easier to give away over a few more days since they mature faster.

For ambitious explorers looking to go into dangerous mines during the Fall, Bok Choy is important for making special healing meals to help you survive. Along with Cranberries and Artichokes, Bok Choy can be used to craft the Super Meal, a really energizing meal that gives you Max Energy and extra Speed. This item also restores your health, allowing you to recover in a pinch.

10 Artichoke

A Hearty Vegetable Crop For Your Second Year

In your second year in Pelican Town, you'll notice that a few extra types of seed can be purchased. This includes Artichoke , a simple vegetable crop that can be grown and harvested in eight days and sells for 160g. There's a good balance here; it doesn't take too long to grow and still sells for a good value.

If your farm is set up with Preserves Jars, you can place Artichokes inside them to create Pickles, a valuable Artisan Product. Pickles sell for less than Wine and only take a few days to process.

As such, you can use it as a staple cash crop, allowing you to earn some Gold regularly while working on bigger farm projects. Artichokes are fairly straightforward, and unlike the Fairy Rose, there aren't any hidden products you can make with them. However, they're used as ingredients in the Artichoke Dip and Super Meal recipes: both great meals for restoring energy and health.

9 Eggplant

A Steady Cash Crop With Multiple Harvest Potential

your first year in Stardew Valley and can be harvested multiple times. This allows you to make extra profit compared to single-harvest crops. There's also a fast growth period; you'll get your first harvest within 5 days of planting your Eggplant Seeds, and a fresh crop every 5 days after.

Aside from a low chance of producing multiple crops when harvested, the Eggplant also doesn't come with any surprises. It's a basic crop that benefits a lot from specific types of Fertilizers. For example, Deluxe Speed-Gro can cut down the time between harvests, and Fertilizer increases your chances of receiving higher-quality produce.

8 Wheat

A Useful Crop For Making Other Goods

One of the easiest and quickest fall crops in Stardew Valley is Wheat . It's not a good idea to sell the raw harvest, as the profit margin is ridiculously small and not worth it, but wheat is a useful crop for making other goods to sell and use. Use wheat to feed your animals or to create other useful goods like flour. Wheat flour is a key ingredient in 20 different recipes, which provide stamina and health refills as well as occasional buffs. Plus, if you use a scythe to cut the crop down, there's a 40% chance of harvesting hay along with it.

The real profit from wheat comes in the form of beer, which sells at a base price of 200g (and up to 560g for a high-quality, artisan version). It only takes 1–2 days to turn wheat into beer in a keg, bringing the profit per day from a measly 3.75 to a much more impressive 45.5g per day at the lowest end. This still pales in comparison to the other profit margins, but if you produce high-quality beer, you can turn a pretty quick profit. This, combined with the extremely low price of the seeds, makes wheat a surprisingly good investment for farmers in autumn.

7 Amaranth

An Easy-To-Harvest Grain For Animal Lovers

Amaranth is a basic grain crop with a single advantage: it's harvested with a Scythe rather than by hand. Because of this, it's far less time-intensive, and you can easily harvest and replant it in half the time. After your first year in Pelican Town, Amaranth is a particularly good crop choice, as you need to start dedicating more time to other activities such as fishing and mining during later years.

You should also grow Amaranth in your first year, as Marnie, the rancher, will send you a letter on the third day of Fall requesting some for her cows. Marnie sells some of the best animals in Stardew Valley and will also send you recipes, so it's well worth helping her out with some local produce from your farm.

6 Yams

A Cheap Investment For Great Returns

Yam is another straightforward crop with a variety of uses, whose seeds you can get at a relatively cheap price. Making Yams may take some time, but the ratio between how cheap their seeds are and their sales price makes them extremely easy to invest in.

Using the right Artisan tools can easily turn a normal Yam into something that sells for almost double its base selling price, requiring only 60g for seeds for nearly 200g or more when the crop grows.

Any Yam you produce has a variety of functions outside of being sold for profit. Yams can be used in the Fall Crops bundle alongside Eggplant, Pumpkin, and Corn. Completing this Bundle will reward you with a Bee House, which can quickly be transformed into another important location on your farm.
