Strawberries are a valuable crop to grow in Stardew Valley, but the timing of when to plant their seeds can be a bit tricky. With the 1.6 update adding new crops to the game, it’s important to remember the significance of pre-existing ones, especially for players who choose the Tiller profession. Careful planning is essential for maximizing profits in this farming simulator.
Strawberries are a Spring fruit, meaning they can only be grown in the first quarter of the year. Once Summer arrives, they wither along with other seasonal crops. While not available through the farm’s Fruit Bat Cave, Strawberry plants produce regularly during the season, making them more cost-effective than single-harvest crops. However, due to their availability, some may consider waiting a full year to plant any seeds they buy.
Strawberry Seeds are only available for purchase at the Egg Festival on the 13th of Spring. They are more expensive than most seeds, costing 100g. With a growth period of eight days to maturity and a subsequent harvest every four days, planting on or just after the Egg Festival allows for only two harvests. However, a full Spring allows for five potential harvests, resulting in a minimum net profit of 500g per plant.
It’s important to note that Strawberry plants have a secondary mechanic that affects their produce, with a 2% chance of producing an additional Strawberry after the first. This can greatly alter the final profits, especially if a Farmer’s Luck causes the crop to be doubled.
