🍠 Yam

Yam is a vegetable crop that grows from Yam Seeds in Fall. It takes 10 days to mature and has a base sell price of 160g. Yams are valuable both as a food source and for their role in completing the Community Center’s Fall Crops Bundle and Winter Foraging Bundle.

In addition to farming, Yams can also be found as forage items in Winter and occasionally drop as loot from enemies in the Mines.

🌱 Growing

Yam Seeds can be purchased from Pierre’s General Store for 60g each. They require 10 days to fully mature and do not regrow after harvest. Yams can also be grown year-round in the Greenhouse or Garden Pots.
