There’s One Trick Every Stardew Valley Player Should Be Using In Year 1

Starting a new farm in can be pretty stressful for a game that’s all about calm and relaxation, but thankfully, there’s one trick that helps make the first Spring of Year 1 as profitable as possible, andit’s all about strawberry seeds. Keeping a chunk of gold ready for the first festival of the year can help set up a farm for success throughout the rest of the year. This trick does involve some pre-planning and crop preparation for completing a bundle in the Community Center, but is worth it for the profit-minded farmer.

Strawberries are a unique crop that players first encounter at the Egg Festival on Spring 13. These seeds aren’t purchasable at Pierre’s or at JoJo Mart at any time, which makes them a very limited-time offer before players unlock the Desert later on. While some inexperienced players may not have much gold left from putting it all into the normal Spring crops, experienced players know to keep a hefty sum around just for Strawberry Seeds. It’s ideal to buy about 20 seeds, so make sure to have at least 2,000g set aside for buying strawberry seeds.

Since Spring is almost halfway over by the time strawberry seeds are available, it may seem prudent to save your seeds for the start of next Spring. However, leaving the seeds sitting in a chest for almost an entire year is leaving money on the table. To maximize farming profitability in the very first year of , it’s best toplant strawberry seeds as soon as the player exits the Egg Festival, with just one stop beforehand.

Stardew Valley’s romance system has a major problem for older players as most eligible characters are high schoolers who act their age.

This stop is at the Community Center to finish off the first bundle. The absolute best way to get the most out of the first Spring is tofinish the Community Center Spring crop bundle as soon as possible. If all four of the necessary crops – Parsnip, Green Bean, Cauliflower, and Potato — are planted on Spring 1, then all will be ready by Spring 13.
