Strawberries can be a valuable crop to grow in , but the way they function does raise questions about when it is best to plant their seeds. While ’s 1.6 update does add new crops to the game, pre-existing ones still have an important place on any farm, particularly if the player chooses the Tiller profession. With that in mind, as always in the farming simulator, careful planning is key for those who want to maximize their profits.
Strawberries are a Spring fruit, meaning that they can only be grown during the first quarter of the year. As soon as Summer arrives, they wither along with any other such seasonal crops on the farm. They are not one of the items available through the farm’s Fruit Bat Cave, but any Strawberry plant produces regularly while it is in season, making it more cost-effective compared to many single-harvest crops. But while Strawberries are undoubtedly a good investment, the circumstances of their availability can lead some to consider waiting a full year to plant any seeds they buy.
Strawberry Seeds are only available to purchase at the Egg Festival, which takes place on the 13th of Spring. They are the cheapest item available at the Egg Festival booth but are still notably more costly than most seeds regularly available from Pierre, costing 100g. Moreover, despite the potential for multiple harvests, the fact that half the month has already passed by the time they first become available in Year 1 can tempt people to save them until Spring of Year 2, when Strawberry plants would be in season (and so produce fruit) for far longer.
Strawberry plants take eight days to grow to maturity and produce their first Strawberry, with further fruits then appearing every four days. This means that if planting on or just after the day of the Egg Festival, only two harvests can be made. Unless making value-multiplying Artisan Goods, a regular Strawberry sells for 120g, or 132g with the effects of Tiller. Over the course of two harvests, this gives a minimum net profit of 140g per Strawberry plant. A full Spring, meanwhile, has time for five potential harvests and so gives a minimum net profit of 500g per plant.
If a player aims to plant several Strawberry plants on the day of the Egg Festival, it is best to save time by preparing the soil before attending the event.
In addition to this, it is important to note that Strawberry plants also have a secondary mechanic that affects their produce, which can greatly alter the final profits. These plants have a 2% chance of producing an additional Strawberry after the first, and the same applies to all subsequent fruits. As such, regardless of when the seeds are planted, more than enough Strawberries could be harvested to make up for any lost time.
