This Farming Method Will Blow Your Mind In Stardew Valley
I recently found a very interesting and profitable method of farming that can make you tons and tons of money and won’t take up that much space on your farm with the addition of the latest 1.5 update we now have something called deluxe fertilizer before this update it was actually impossible to harvest
Iridium quality crops but with the use of deluxe fertilizer and upgraded farmers lunch we will have a 55 chance of harvesting an iridium quality crop and a 45 chance of harvesting a gold quality crop if we do this on sweet jamberries we will make an average of 5
000 gold per crop and as an added bonus we do not need to process these crops into wine or age them we can sell them as soon as we harvested them doing this can make you absolute insane amounts of money but there is a major problem with
This technique there is no reliable way to get rare seeds that we would need to grow these sweet gem berries actually the only place that sells rare seeds is the traveling merchant she only appears on fridays and saturdays and she may not even sell them this is definitely a big
Problem but there is a solution take a look at my ginger island farm i have split my farm into two sections on the left i have a bunch of sweet jam berries that are exclusively dedicated to me getting more seeds and on the right i have a farm that is exclusively
Dedicated to making me money and i have more seeds than i know what to do with them every 21 days i can harvest all of my gold making sweets and berries and make a huge amount of money this method does take a while to set up but once
Everything is ready this gold is basically free alright let me show you how i managed to set up my ginger island farm for success step one is to get as many rare seeds as possible i would recommend you buy a rare seed from the traveling merchant every single time she
Has one for sale even though i am in year 12. i never remember actually going to the traveling merchant so i only have like 8 seeds which is not much but it’s enough before you even plant these you need to make sure you have the correct farming profession you absolutely need
The agriculturist profession because it makes all of your crops grow ten percent faster ten percent doesn’t sound like much but it does add up now you need to craft some hyper speed grow you can buy the recipe for hyper speed grow at mr key’s walnut room for 30 key gems to
Actually craft hyper speed grow you will need one radioactive or three bone fragments and one solar essence to get radioactive ore simply enter the dangerous versions of the regular mines on floor 1 get the radioactive ore leave the mine and repeat this process over and over again i managed to get 200
Radioactive ore on a single day so this stuff is not that hard to get for the solar essence by the time you get to this point in the game you probably already have a bunch of this stuff if you don’t just kill mummies and ghosts in the skull cavern if you use the
Crusader enchant on your weapon you will easily amass a ton of these stuff bone fragments are actually the hardest thing to get here at the thick side on ginger island there are a bunch of these rocks that give you bone fragments this is by far the best way to get bone fragments
But it still doesn’t give you that much hyper speed grow is quite expensive to craft so if you don’t have everything you need to craft these just go buy deluxe speed grow at sandy store on thursdays hyper speed grow is just much better usually switch and berries take
24 days to fully mature with hyper speed growth and the agricultures profession they will only take 14 days to grow 14 days is really not that bad i started with 8 rare seeds planted them in just 14 days they were fully matured and ready to harvest then take your newly
Harvested sweet gem berries and place them all into the seed makers seed makers have an overwhelming chance of producing two seeds per crop so you should always end up with more seeds than you had before with only eight sweet jam berries i managed to produce 17 rare seeds now simply repeat this
Process again remember to craft some hyper speed grow plant all of your rare seeds keep them watered and come back in 14 days and just like that all of your sweets and berries will be ready to be harvested again turn all of these sweet jam berries into seeds using the seed
Makers again and on an average you should be able to double the amount of seeds you get every 14 days i did this for three entire seasons and then suddenly i had enough seeds to plant sweet jamberries on my entire ginger island farm remember i only started with
Eight seeds in the beginning but it very quickly turned into more than enough hyper speed grow will not be used up when you harvest your crops so any sweet and berry that you grow on the left side will grow as an accelerated rate all of those switching berries should almost
Exclusively be used to produce more seeds but the right side of my farm is very different this is the money making side so we won’t be using hyper speed growth instead we will be using deluxe fertilizer you can buy the recipe for deluxe fertilizer at mr keith’s walnut
Room for 20 key gems to craft deluxe fertilizer you will need one iridium bar and 40 sat forming meridian bars is quite easy and i don’t know about you but i had a chest with about 4 000 sap in it because you just collect this stuff so easily over time remember that
You don’t need that much deluxe fertilizer because when you harvest your crops and replant a seed immediately the fertilizer will stay there i’m not sure if this is an intended feature or a bug but it helps out a ton okay so to recap on the left side of our ginger island
Farm we have a bunch of sweet gem berries that are growing using the hyper speed grow and on the right side of our farm we have a bunch of sweet gem berries growing using deluxe fertilizer the crops on the left will fully mature allowing us to constantly replenish our
Rare seeds and because they grow so much faster than the right side eventually you’ll have more seeds than you actually need when this happens you should stop turning gold quality sweet jamberries into seeds because each gold quality switching berry sells for 4 500 gold and that is a lot of gold after
22 days your gold making switch and bear crops will be ready for harvesting but do not just start harvesting them because we need to increase our farming level to ensure we only harvest high quality crops this is where the farmer’s cooked food comes in farmer’s lunch is a recipe that you will automatically
Unlock at level 3 farming and you only need a parsnip and an omelet to cook this food since we will probably be at level 10 farming at this stage of the game with this food we will have a farming level of 13. so remember to cook this food using key seasoning then it
Will give you a plus four to your farming skill it’s worth it trust me now we have everything we need simply eat the farmer’s lunch and then harvest all of the sweet jamberries don’t forget to immediately replant the rare seeds so your fertilizer does not go to waste sweetened berries cannot be processed
Into wine or jelly so now you can simply drop them in the shipping bin and make a decent amount of money i know this method seems like a ton of effort and to be honest it is a lot of effort but it only takes a lot of effort to set it up
Once everything is set up you pretty much only have to tend to your crops like once every two weeks i also do not have an optimal layout on my ginger island farm i wanted to make it look pretty for the video but there is a ton of wasted space so you can easily
Produce much more swedenberries than i am producing i just think this is an incredibly efficient way of using your farm space on your ginger island farm you still have your entire normal farm and greenhouse to use to plant other crops meaning this sweet gem berry is
Kind of just making us money on the side and that is why i think this is so effective and that brings us to the end of the video what do you think of the sweet jamberry farming method do you think it could work long term or are star fruit or ancient fruits still
Better please let me know in the comments below but for now i will see you in the next video You
Stardew Valley has an Incredibelly profitable crop called Sweet Gem Berries, especially if you make maximum use of Deluxe Fertilizer and upgraded Farmers lunch. Doing that will give you a very impressive 55% chance of harvesting iridium quality Sweet Gem Berries, these sell for six thousand gold each! The only problem is that these sweet gem berries grow from rare seeds, and rare seeds are really hard to find. I present a solution in this video where we split our Ginger island farm into two sections! The left side is exclusively for rare seed farming, and the right side is exclusively for gold making.

So since I love doing wine and sweet gem berries, I put the profession on for faster crops and then do ancient seeds in my greenhouse. Turn those into wine and then put them in casks. When they are iridium quality wine, I change my profession to the artisan goods perk and sell the wine the next night and then change my profession back. I may lose a day or two on the sweet gem berries but that way I make max money on sweet gem berries and the wine
You can keep them all in one farm area.
Like if you use the greenhouse, just feed the lowest quality sweet gem berries into the seed maker until you achieve 120 seeds to replant the greenhouse, and then sell the rest.
Although it is more efficient to have speed grow on the seeds, and quality fertilizer on the selling crops, like in your video.
(it's worth pointing out that (professions aside) a Gold sweet gem berry sells for as much as an Iridium ancient fruit wine. No casks/kegs, & sweet gems grow slightly faster too.)
I know it is off-topic, but I really love your accent
Why not just planting ancient fruits with junimo Huds? Best method, if one wants to be lazy.
This is still less profitable than Ancient Fruit though… Artisan and Wine is just too overpowered
Way less work to grow ancint fruit.
Brilliant as ever. My go to channel for everything Stardew. Also a bonus with beautiful voice and accent 😍
Ancient fruit all the way. Plant once, never have to plant again.
Better than ancient fruit wine?
4500-6000 depending on if it's gold quality sweet gem berry or iridium and 4620 per ancient fruit wine. I can sell 2 ancient fruit wine in the time it takes to sell a sweet grm berry. So the sweet gem berry strategy is better……I guess I spent the last year crating over 700kegs for nothing..
I have yet to unlock that Island and still don't know how, I know I can look it up but That's no fun
I think I’ll stick to my ancient fruit farm
Whats dangerous version of the mines????? HELP
you try hard in this game xD.. im kinda lazy.
But you have already so much money… what do you do with even more money?
Making this asap–
Fun fact: You can turn QI fruits into wine and jelly
I don't know if it's a Switch port thing but the only time I tried to make seed with the fruit it gave me junk.
What do you even buy with 2M every 14 days? Lol I haven't gotten this far yet so these numbers are crazy to me
This is a really smart idea! Also, I think your voice is hot
I have to admit I'm STILL ignoring the new fertilizers but I learned from your videos that they are actually really good. Honestly I really miss just regular ol' farming. I'm definitely going to make a change and actually properly use them as soon as I play next… like, in a few minutes. 😁
I don't even know what types of fertilizers I have placed down, it's really bad ahahahaha, the signs are a good idea!
Compared directly to each other, ancient fruit is still somewhat better as long as you have keg space, and it's easy to have enough keg space. It's 3 AFW to a single gold/iridium SGB for the side using deluxe fertilizer and 2 for the hyper speed grow plots, so even on the deluxe side you're still better than the iridium SGB's, and on the speed grow side you only get 29% max at gold quality with farming 14, where AFW barely edges out in profit. Unless you have half the plots worth of seed makers, you need to keep refilling those with seeds and it's a pain to keep checking, you might forget. Between planting, kegging, and SGB seed making they're about the same work.
Where it makes sense to go for SGB's instead of AFW is where you replace all your kegs with diamond crystallariums – however it is just as if not more difficult to make that many crystallariums as it does to make kegs,. The amount of time spent on SGB's and crystallariums will be much greater than on AFW alone, but overall profits with both combined will be higher than AFW using the same amount of growing plot and machine space.
Fyi: solar essence can be purchased 10 per day from krobus if you don't want to do the grind ghosts and dwarves and hope for the best method. 😘
Not sure if this is just my luck in the game or if this is an actual thing in the game, but the traveling cart in sells 1 rare seed every Friday and Sunday in the Spring and Summer. There have been times where i've been able to buy 2 at one time. Just a little tip for my fellow Stardew players!
When you buy rare seeds exit the merchant and go back to the merchant it gives you the rare seed back its some sort of glitch I've try that on omni geodes
Here’s a helpful tip for overachievers. Crop quality is locked in every morning. So you might be able to skip the food buff, and just pick the berries then reset the day to collect only the best.
In android when you buy something from the travelling merchant , you can exist the shop menu and enter again and the item is available to buy again . So you can buy as much as you want . Don't know if it works on PC though .

we take ginger island for granted lol
Ezlilyy: says the traveling cart is available on fridays and Saturdays Me: clearly sees the gameplay showing sunday 😅
Fridays and Sundays.
Did you just sell an Iridium sprinkler
Just so you know you said the travailing merchant comes on Friday and Saturday but the travailing merchant comes on Friday and Sunday
Wouldn't this be more space efficient to be done in a shed?
I say this is a good alternative for those of us who don't want to make 100 kegs.
I did something a tad different. All basic quality crops get pickled/jammed while the silver and golds go into the seed maker as they process quicker based on crop quality.
You can buy inf sweet gem berry but first you need to find the merchant and then buy then press the x and go back and you will see it is still there works everytime
What kind of floor is that? I don’t seem to have that option. I have cobblestone, wood path. Is there a hardwood floor or something?
How do you multiply sweet gem berry if it only harvests once?
wont just putting hyper grow with the agricult just make more money? even if you pick alot of iridium, you will get more berries.
Get bone frags from the bone crusher
Do u need to place scarecrows at ginger island ?
Sweet gem berry is the space investment if space is the limiting factor. It has the highest return per tile beating wine making using kegs.
Can scythe be used to farm them?
2 years ago huh… regarding bones, use burglar ring then kill lots of skeletons in the mines
