Stardew Valley: Most Profitable Crops for the Mobile Game

You’ve probably heard about the world-famous indie farming simulation RPG, Stardew Valley, released in 2016, and if you are a pixel graphics fan, like I am, you’ve probably played it too. Well, this year, to my surprise, the game launched on mobile devices as well!

To celebrate that, I’ve put together a guide to the most profitable crops in Stardew Valley for mobile. With this guide, I’ll help you maximize the time spent farming, so you can use your field to its maximum potential!

As you have probably noticed, the game, just like IRL, has four seasons. Since winter isn’t really the time for planting your crops, we’ll be talking about the other three seasons: spring, summer and autumn.
