Top 10 Stardew Valley Best Autumn Crops
Taking care of farm animals and planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops are all part of farming, which is one of the Stardew Valley game's key aspects. Players can choose which crops to harvest for their farms because there are numerous crops to cultivate in each season. In order to give readers the best value for their money, this article will focus on and go into detail about the best Fall crops to plant.
As players continue to farm the land, it is worthwhile to know the different places and ways to buy crops, as not every crop is sold at the same place nor at the same price. Most seeds can be bought from Pierre’s General Store and JojaMart, however, without JojaMart’s Membership the prices are usually higher than Pierre's. After the player purchases a Joja membership, prices are the same as at Pierre's (with the exception of Sunflower Seeds, which sell for 100g at Joja). It’s important to note that crops have to be watered every day to reach maximum growth but rest assured that they won’t die if they are unwatered. Instead, crops only die at the start of the new season.
Read on about the different best Fall crops to plant on your farm!

The Grape is a unique crop that is both a forageable item and a standard crop. This is because, in Summer, the Grape is a forageable fruit found throughout Stardew Valley and can be grown from Summer Seeds. Then in the Fall, it's a standard crop, with Grape Starter seeds available to purchase. The standard Grape crop benefits from the +10% Tiller profession bonus, while the Summer Seed Grapes don't.
