How this list is made

  • Each crop is planted on day 1 and grown until it dies at the end of its last season. Single-harvest crops are replanted the day they are harvested; seeds for every planting are paid.
  • Only crops whose seeds are sold every day for gold (Pierre's, JojaMart, the Oasis) are listed. Festival and Traveling Cart seeds are left out.
  • Crops marked into … also grow in the next season, so their total covers both seasons. Gold per day divides the profit by the days from planting to the last harvest.
  • Prices are for selling raw. Kegs and Preserves Jars change the order a lot: see Keg vs Preserves Jar.
