Ranking all 15 fall crops in Stardew Valley
15) Wheat
- Purchase Price: 40g
- Selling Price: 25 - 50g
- Days to Harvest: 4
Wheat is one of the fastest-growing fall crops in Stardew Valley. The four-day harvest cycle allows you to harvest it multiple times during the season. However, its selling price is slightly lower than Bok Choy.
While not a top contender in terms of profit, Wheat can be a handy filler crop, especially early in the fall season when you're waiting for other crops to mature.
14) Sunflower
- Purchase Price: 200g
- Selling Price: 80 - 160g
- Days to Harvest: 8
Sunflowers are a unique case for fall crops in Stardew Valley. While their selling price is high, they only produce one flower per plant during the season.
However, they have a hidden benefit: each sunflower also has a chance to produce up to two sunflower seeds every day. This means you can not only sell the harvested flower but also accumulate free seeds for future planting, making them a great long-term investment for your fall crops.
13) Broccoli
- Availability: Through seed spots, trading, and Fishing Treasure Chests
- Selling Price: 70 - 140g
- Days to Harvest: 8
Broccoli offers a good balance between the selling price and growth time for fall crops in Stardew Valley. While it takes longer to mature than some earlier options, it sells for a significant price.
With strategic planting and potentially using fertilizer, you can aim for four harvests within the season, making it a very profitable choice for your fall crops.
12) Corn
- Purchase Price: 50g
- Selling Price: 60 - 100g
- Days to Harvest: 14
While not the most profitable fall crop, Corn is great for Stardew Valley beginners. It can be harvested twice per season if planted strategically.
The first planting can happen early in the fall, which allows you to harvest before the season ends. Then, you can plant a second round for an additional harvest. This strategy can maximize your use of the fall season, especially if you're looking for a steady flow of income in the early game.
11) Amaranth
- Purchase Price: 70g
- Selling Price: 150 - 300g
- Days to Harvest: 7
Amaranth offers a good balance between the selling price and growth time. While it takes a bit longer to mature than some earlier entries, it sells for a significantly higher price.
With careful planning and potentially using fertilizer, you can aim for three to four harvests within the season, making it a very profitable choice.
10) Beet
- Purchase Price: 20g
- Selling Price: 100 - 200g
- Days to Harvest: 6
Beets offer a decent selling price with a reasonably fast growth cycle for fall crops in Stardew Valley. While not quite as fast as Bok Choy or Wheat, you can still squeeze in multiple harvests during the fall season.
Additionally, beets are used in a few recipes, so consider keeping a small stock for cooking needs.
9) Fairy Rose
- Purchase Price: 200g
- Selling Price: 290 - 580g
- Days to Harvest: 12
While the Fairy Rose's selling price is impressive, it requires a significant initial investment per seed. Moreover, if you have bee houses placed near your Fairy Rose field, they will produce honey, significantly increasing your overall profit potential from the crop.
Fairy Roses are great fall crops in Stardew Valley for established players who are looking for a high-value crop to complement their honey production.
8) Eggplant
- Purchase Price: 20g
- Selling Price: 60 - 120g
- Days to Harvest: 5
Eggplant offers the fastest turnover compared to the previous crops on this list. It takes just five days to harvest and sells for a minimum of 60g. Additionally, it is required to complete the Fall Crops bundle.
Overall, Eggplants are great fall crops in Stardew Valley for players looking to make a quick profit.
7) Bok Choy
- Purchase Price: 50g
- Selling Price: 80 - 160g
- Days to Harvest: 4
Bok Choy is another fast-growing crop that offers a decent profit margin. While not the most lucrative fall crops in Stadew Valley, its short growth cycle allows for multiple harvests within the fall season.
This makes Bok Choy a better choice than Eggplant when you're looking for quick cash early in the game.
6) Yam
- Purchase Price: 60g
- Selling Price: 160g - 320g
- Days to Harvest: 10
Yams boast a high selling price but require a slightly longer growth cycle than some other entries on our list.
However, their high value makes them a worthwhile investment, especially if you can manage two harvests with fertilizer or Deluxe Speed-Gro.
5) Cranberries
- Purchase Price: 240g
- Selling Price: 75 - 150g
- Days to Harvest: 7 (Initial), then every 5 days
Cranberries are a true star of the fall season for Stardew Valley farmers. While their initial seed cost is high, they provide a steady stream of income throughout the season. After the initial 7-day growth period, they will regrow every five days, allowing you to harvest multiple times before the season ends.
Cranberries will regrow after harvest without needing to be replanted, making them one of the best fall crops in Stardew Valley.
3) Grape
- Purchase Price: 60g
- Selling Price: 80 - 160g
- Days to Harvest: 10 days (First Harvest), then every 3 days
Grapes offer a steady stream of income throughout the later part of the season.
While their initial harvest takes long, grapes produce grapes every three days without the need to be replanted. This provides consistent income, making them a fantastic long-term investment.
3) Artichoke
- Purchase Price: 30g
- Selling Price: 160 - 320g

Add fertilizers into the mix, and you can make quite a fortune with this fall crop.
2) Pumpkin

- Selling Price: 320 - 640g
- Days to Harvest: 13
One of the most profitable fall crops in Stardew Valley, pumpkins are a fantastic choice for players who have the patience to wait for a single, high-value harvest from their fall crops.
Moreover, pumpkins are also useful for completing fall bundles and in some rare recipes.
1) Sweet Gem Berry
- Purchase Price: Typically sold between 600g-1000g by Traveling Cart
- Selling Price: 3,000g (Regular), 4,500g (Silver), 6,000g (Gold), 9,000g (Iridium)
