How to feed NPCs in Grow a Garden

The Friendship system is a secondary gameplay feature in Grow a Garden that helps you unlock new shop stock. Building up your friendship with the shopkeepers of the experience is a matter of feeding them food that you cook using a Cooking Kit. Feeding them is straightforward: equip the food you prepared and interact with the desired NPC to offer it. That said, cooking food can be a little time-consuming.

This guide explores how you can feed NPCs in Grow a Garden and the benefits it affords you.

Feeding NPCs in Grow a Garden

Preparing food with a Cooking Kit (Image via Roblox)

To feed an NPC, you need food, and to make food, you need a Cooking Kit. You can get a Cooking Kit by completing the Achievements listed in the Garden Guide or buy it directly from the Cosmetics Shop for 1,000,000 Sheckles.

In the Core Plants section of the Achievements tab, you can view Common and Mythical Achievements that can be completed for one Cooking Kit each. These Achievements require you to shovel plants, harvest, sell, or gift certain Fruits, or use the specified items a certain number of times. Naturally, the most convenient option is to simply buy it from the Cosmetics Shop.

Place the Cooking Kit on your farm and gather the ingredients required to prepare a dish. Feel free to refer to this guide for a complete list of recipes and how to prepare them. Once you’ve prepared the desired dish, equip it, approach an NPC, and interact with them to feed it to them.

You can only feed an NPC once every 24 hours, and the amount of Friendship Points you earn depends on the rarity of the recipe. Listed below are the different recipe rarities and the amount of Friendship Points you gain for giving them to an NPC:

• Common: 1 Point
• Uncommon: 2 Points
• Rare: 3 Points
• Legendary: 4 Points
• Mythical: 5 Points
• Divine: 6 Points
• Prismatic: 7 Points
• Transcendent: 8 Points

Continue to feed the NPCs every day until all of their shop stock is accessible to you.
