Best Stardew Valley Crops: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter

Stardew Valley presents players with an overwhelming amount of choice in terms of what crops they can plant on their farms. There are dozens of different fruit and vegetable seeds you can buy, and each of them has its own unique requirements in terms of how much they cost and how long they take to actually produce food.

The fact is that you can actually run your farm however you like and plant whichever crops you want, but there are clearly some seeds that are more suited to generating money than others. There are plenty of valuable season crops in the game. As you are going to start farming, we would like to give you advice that will be helpful in all seasons.

1. Secure your farm with the help of scarecrows, or crows will ruin your crop.
2. Invest in fertilizer.

All the grass and weeds will be removed by this season except Winter Weeds. If we apply Tree Fertilizers, all the standard trees will grow in winter. T
