💡 Strategy
Pro Tip: Use high-value vegetables like Pumpkin or Cauliflower for maximum profit from Pickles.
- Pickles provide more value than selling raw vegetables, especially long-season crops.
- Avoid using cheap vegetables (like Parsnips) since the profit margin is small.
- Pair Preserves Jars with high-volume farming to maintain constant production.
- Pickles are less profitable than Wine or Juice but easier to manage due to shorter processing times.
