Stardew Valley – Which Crops Provide the Most Daily Profit?

stardew-valley

I'm trying to optimize the money I can make each season, so I can spend the late game mining, fishing, and other fun things there are to do in the valley!

What crops provide the most daily profit?

By daily profit, I mean profit per day it needs to grow.

Edit: Accepted Timmy Jim answer because exactly answer the question, but you might want to look out Mage Xy's. The tools he proposed are really nice.

Best Answer

Following this guide, the following crops provide the most daily profit:

Spring

  • Strawberries at $11.67 a day, however you can only get their seeds from the Spring Egg Festival.
  • Rhubarb, which is bought from Sandy in the desert only at $9.20 a day.
  • If you don't want to travel to the desert/wait for the festival, then potatoes are the best, since they yield the third highest profit at $8.30 a day due to the extra potato you can get (25% chance for each potato).

Summer

  • Blueberries can potentially yield $35.00 a day. To reach this amount, you need to plant them on the first day of summer. They are harvestable every 4 days once they mature.
  • Starfruit at $30.10 a day, but like Rhubarb, you can only buy them from Sandy in the desert.
  • Red Cabbage at $17.80 a day if you don't want to wait for blueberries to grow/travel to the desert for seeds.

Fall

  • Cranberries at $39.00 per day if planted on the first day of fall. Like blueberries, they can be continuously harvested after 5 days.
  • Pumpkin at $16.90 if you don't want to wait for the cranberries.

Note that each dollar amount is by a per crop basis. So 10 pumpkins would bring in $169 in one day. This is also strictly based off of crops alone and the base quality of them. Higher quality items will increase the amount per day.
