The latest update to Stardew Valley introduces an exciting addition to your farming options: Broccoli. This new crop not only diversifies your agricultural pursuits but also pops up as a findable item in mine crates. For farmers deliberating whether to invest time in cultivating Broccoli, this guide sheds light on the essentials to inform your decision.
How To Grow Broccoli in Stardew Valley
Broccoli is a crop that is grown in the Fall. It takes an initial 8 days to cultivate, but then you can harvest the crop every 4 days after that. However, obtaining Broccoli seeds might be a challenge for you.
Unlike most of the seeds available to plant on your farm, you can’t purchase this one from any store. Instead, you can obtain them in a number of ways, which are listed below:
- Artifact Spots
- Grass Tufts
- Lewis’ Prize Machine
- Crates in the Mine
However, once you’ve obtained the seeds, planted and cultivated your first Broccoli, you can then sacrifice one to the Seed Machine so that you have a consistent output of Broccoli seeds!

Selling and Using Broccoli
Broccoli can be a great snack to carry around, especially if you’re doing high-energy tasks. They can give you back a decent amount of energy and health, depending on the quality of the Broccoli you’re consuming.
Quality | Energy | Health |
