How do you make money fast in Stardew Valley? First things first, if you want to excel in Stardew Valley, don't bother with animals. Yes, I know they're cute and generate a bit of money every day, but they also waste time every morning and you can't automate their care. The secret to success in Stardew Valley is using high-value crops to make artisan goods, then selling those goods - sorry, but it's true.
Unfortunately, you can't make artisan goods right away, as you need to level up your farming skill to unlock the devices required to make them. So, for at least the first month, you'll mostly be selling crops raw. Yep: no animals and cold cauliflower. What a life. For the purposes of this Stardew Valley guide, we're assuming you want to make the most money in the shortest amount of time without using Stardew Valley mods, with little interest in building friendships, rebuilding the community centre, fishing, and any other foolish unprofitable activities. This is all about cold hard cash.
