Farming is something that you'll be doing a lot of in Disney Dreamlight Valley, so it helps to know exactly how the process works, and how to reap the rewards of what you sow! This Farming Guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of how farming works in the game, where to purchase all seeds, as well as how to make the process most efficient and beneficial.

Let's start with the basics. To farm in the game you'll need to dig a patch of ground up, plant a Seed in, water it with your Watering Can, and then wait for it to grow. To complete this process, you'll need 4 things:
Luckily for you, you'll obtain the first two items during the opening missions of the game, as the tools are obligatory for you to progress further into your journey. Clear patches of ground are abundant, even in the starting area, so that won't be an issue either. So all that is left are Seeds.
So the question is: How do you get seeds? Well, there are a couple of different options. You can occasionally earn Seeds as Quest rewards early on and they can be collected by removing Night Thorns in different areas (rewarding different Seed types depending on that area).
Your most reliable method of getting Seeds however is at Goofy's Stalls. These are available to open for a small fee in each different area/biome of the valley, and each will sell different inventory (including Seeds) that are specific to the biome that the stall is in. The rarer the Seed, the more it will cost, but it is a good way of securing an elusive ingredient that you need for a meal or to complete a certain quest objective.
Dig a hole, plant the Seed, water it when it begins wilting to continue the growing process, and then reap the rewards of your hard labor!
Here are the available seeds that you can purchase at each of Goofy's Stalls:
Sowing and harvesting crops can be a lengthy process, and whilst the reaping of crops can be a reward all its own, you can make it even more worthwhile if you involve a friend in the process.
Every NPC character you bring to the game (with a few exceptions like Ariel and Ursula) can be assigned specific roles that help to bolster your Friendship Level with them should they participate in that activity. A couple of these roles that are particularly relevant to farming are Digging and Harvesting. BUT even if a character is assigned a different role unrelated to farming, it is still worthwhile having a friend with you regardless, as performing any activity with them in your company still raises your Friendship Level.
To get a friend to join you, speak to them and choose the "Let's Hang Out!" option.
So which crops take the longest to grow? And which are the most profitable? The breakdown of the different crops available in-game is as follows:
With so many aspects to take into account such as seed price, growing time, harvest yield, a sell price, it's easy to become a little overwhelmed when trying to work out just which seeds are the best bang for your buck. Thankfully, we've done the calculations and have worked out which of the following seeds will offer you the best profit per minute.
