Getting Started
Everything you need to know for your first season in the valley.
When you arrive at your farm, you'll find it overgrown with trees, rocks, and weeds. Don't try to clear everything on day one — focus on a small area near your house.
Priority tasks:
- Clear a small patch and plant your 15 parsnip seeds (from Lewis's gift)
- Water them every day with your watering can
- Explore the town and introduce yourself to villagers
- Check your mailbox and TV daily for tips
Spring is about building your foundation. Here's a week-by-week approach:
Week 1 (Days 1-7): Plant parsnips, forage spring items, fish at the mountain lake. Save money for more seeds.
Week 2 (Days 8-14): Buy and plant potatoes and cauliflower. Start upgrading tools when possible. Visit the mines on day 5+.
Week 3-4 (Days 15-28): Buy strawberry seeds at the Egg Festival (day 13). Push deeper into the mines for copper and iron. Start gifting villagers you like.
Best spring crops by profit: Strawberry > Cauliflower > Potato
