Growing and harvesting crops is one of the best ways to make money in Stardew Valley and the Summer season has a few different great options to maximize your profits. Summer has multiple standout options for making money, but it also has a few crops that really aren’t worth growing due to low profits.
The best crops to grow in Summer for profit are blueberries, melons, starfruit, and red cabbage. Starfruit seeds are only profitable if bought from the Oasis shop or made from a seed maker and red cabbage isn’t available at Pierre’s until Year 2. The absolute best option is the blueberries, since the plants continue to reproduce throughout the season, so you don’t have to buy more seeds. Each plant gives multiple blueberries each harvest, drastically increasing the crop’s overall value.
While it may seem beneficial to only grow the most lucrative crops, pursuing the community center path in Stardew Valley necessitates cultivating a variety of crops to complete the necessary bundles to unlock the Greenhouse.

Similar to cauliflower in Spring, melons are valuable yet they require a longer growth period, resulting in only two harvests per season. To distribute your earnings more evenly, consider incorporating a variety of crops with different maturing times. Corn, although less lucrative per harvest, continues to yield produce as it grows throughout Summer and Fall. Planting corn at the start of Summer ensures a continuous supply until the season’s end.
Below, a table lists all the Spring crops, the purchase cost for seeds, the time needed for each to harvest, and their selling prices, excluding possible benefits like accelerated growth or enhanced selling prices. Prices are typically sourced from Pierre’s Store unless otherwise specified.
