Best Fall Crops in Stardew Valley Year 1

Cranberries are a strong Fall 1 choice for repeat raw sales if you can afford 240g seeds. Pumpkins cost 100g per seed and provide valuable processing inputs. For a Fall 20 planting, Bok Choy reaches its first harvest on 24 and can fit a second on 28 with replacement seeds ready.

Cranberry or Pumpkin on Fall 1?

A Cranberry plant guarantees two berries per harvest and regrows every five days after its first seven-day growth. Pumpkin takes thirteen days and needs replanting. The table assumes normal quality, daily watering, no fertilizer or professions, funded replacement seeds and raw sales through Fall 28.

Four Cranberry seeds use 960g of a 1,000g budget. Their first harvest arrives on Fall 8, so plan spending before that date. Shipping-bin income arrives the following morning, including a Fall 28 shipment paid on Winter 1. Check the Cranberry and Pumpkin references.

What should you plant on Fall 20?

Bok Choy seeds cost 50g and normal produce sells for 80g. Two four-day batches from Fall 20 give harvests on 24 and 28, for 160g sales minus 100g of seeds per tile. Have both seeds funded before relying on that second planting. A new Pumpkin reaches maturity after the outdoor season ends.Compare the nine-day Fall window or work through the Fall 20 choices.
