Best Fall Crops in Stardew Valley
Fall is the last outdoor growing season, making it crucial for stockpiling gold before Winter. Cranberries and Pumpkins lead the way, but fast crops like Bok Choy can fill gaps between harvests.
Top Fall Crops for Profit
🎃 Pumpkin — ~16g/day
The best single-harvest Fall crop. Seeds cost 100g and sell for 320g after 13 days. Plant in a 3x3 grid for a chance at a Giant Crop yielding ~25 pumpkins.
🍒 Cranberries — ~14g/day
Multi-harvest king of Fall. After the first 7 days, they re-harvest every 5 days producing 2 cranberries each time. Best ROI over a full season.
🥬 Bok Choy — ~13g/day
Cheap (25g seed), fast (4 days), and reliable. Perfect for filling empty plots between other harvests or for players early in Year 1.
🍇 Grape — ~8g/day (better in kegs)
Low raw value but Grape Wine in a keg sells for 240g. If you have spare keg capacity, Grapes become a solid passive income crop.
