The most profitable crop in Fields of Mistria changes with the seasons, but multi-harvest crops win every time: Peas in Spring, Tea in Summer, Onion in Fall, and Snow Peas in Winter. Planting 100 of the top crop earns about 78,000 Tesserae in a single season, more than double the 33,000 Tesserae from the best single-harvest alternative. Fall is the richest season overall, offering four multi-harvest crops instead of the usual two. The rankings below combine seed costs, sell prices, and grow times so you can plan each 28-day season around maximum profit.

How These Profit Rankings Were Calculated

All figures come from the community "Numbers of Mistria" crop yield guide, which models a field of exactly 100 crops planted from the first day of a 28-day season. For single-harvest crops, seasonal profit is the sell price minus the seed cost, repeated for every full grow cycle that fits before day 28. Multi-harvest crops are measured from their first harvest, then every 3-day regrowth for the remainder of the season. The Harvest Time perk is excluded because it only lets slow-growing plants finish a day early, and foraged seeds, flowers, and trees are not part of the dataset. All prices and grow times follow the data on the fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg wiki.

Spring: Peas Are the Most Profitable Crop

Spring offers four single-harvest crops and two multi-harvest crops, and the regrowth options dominate once you can afford their expensive seeds. Peas edge out Strawberries thanks to a higher sell price of 135t per crop. Ranked by total seasonal profit per 100 crops:

  • Peas — 300t seed, 135t sell price, first harvest in 5 days then every 3 days — 78,000t
  • Strawberry — 300t seed, 125t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 70,000t
  • Cabbage — 70t seed, 180t sell price, 9 days — 33,000t
  • Carrot — 40t seed, 80t sell price, 6 days — 16,000t
  • Potato — 40t seed, 75t sell price, 6 days — 14,000t
  • Turnip — 25t seed, 40t sell price, 4 days — 10,500t

Be aware of the upfront cost: 100 Peas seeds cost 30,000t, and after only the first harvest you are still 16,500t in the red. The profit arrives across the repeated regrowth harvests, so plant them as early as possible. If your budget cannot cover that, Cabbage is the strongest cheap seed in Spring.

Summer: Tea Leads the Field

Summer mirrors Spring almost exactly, with four single-harvest crops and two multi-harvest crops at identical price points. Tea is the most profitable crop of the season, selling for 135t and regrowing every 3 days after the initial 5-day grow. The full ranking per 100 crops:

  • Tea — 300t seed, 135t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 78,000t
  • Corn — 300t seed, 125t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 70,000t
  • Watermelon — 70t seed, 180t sell price, 9 days — 33,000t
  • Sugar Cane — 40t seed, 80t sell price, 6 days — 16,000t
  • Chili Pepper — 40t seed, 75t sell price, 6 days — 14,000t
  • Cucumber — 25t seed, 40t sell price, 4 days — 10,500t

Tea seeds carry the same 30,000t upfront cost for a full 100-crop field, and the first harvest alone leaves a 16,500t deficit. Watermelon is the best budget alternative, clearing 33,000t with cheap 70t seeds. Because the numbers match Spring so closely, whatever strategy worked last season transfers directly into Summer.

Fall: The Best Season for Farm Profit

The yield guide calls Fall the best season to make money, with three single-harvest crops and four multi-harvest crops. Onion tops the table at 78,000t, while Wheat and Rice Stalk are unusual: they take 9 days to their first harvest instead of the usual 5, but sell for a higher 150t and still regrow every 3 days.

  • Onion — 300t seed, 135t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 78,000t
  • Rice Stalk — 300t seed, 150t sell price, 9 days then every 3 days — 75,000t
  • Wheat — 300t seed, 150t sell price, 9 days then every 3 days — 75,000t
  • Cranberry — 300t seed, 125t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 70,000t
  • Pumpkin — 70t seed, 180t sell price, 9 days — 33,000t
  • Broccoli — 40t seed, 75t sell price, 6 days — 14,000t
  • Sweet Potato — 25t seed, 40t sell price, 4 days — 10,500t

Onion and Rice seeds do not appear for every player in Fall of Year 1. According to players on Reddit, you need to have completed town events up to upgrading the general store before they are stocked 待确认. Some players also report receiving Rice seeds earlier as a mail gift or quest board reward, even without the upgraded store.

Winter: Snow Peas Are the Only Regrowth Crop

Winter has the smallest selection, with three single-harvest crops and just one multi-harvest crop. Snow Peas carry the entire season, earning 70,000t per 100 crops against 33,000t for the next best option.

  • Snow Peas — 300t seed, 125t sell price, 5 days then every 3 days — 70,000t
  • Daikon Radish — 70t seed, 180t sell price, 9 days — 33,000t
  • Cauliflower — 40t seed, 75t sell price, 6 days — 14,000t
  • Beet — 25t seed, 40t sell price, 4 days — 10,500t

If you cannot fund 100 Snow Peas seeds, Daikon Radish repeats the reliable 70t seed and 180t sell price pattern of Cabbage, Watermelon, and Pumpkin. Fast 4-day crops like Beet are useful fillers for gaps at the very end of the season. Since Spring follows Winter, any profit saved here sets up your Peas field for the new year.

Best Crops When You Only Have a Small Budget

Seasonal totals assume you can buy 100 seeds on day one, which is not realistic in Year 1. A Reddit analysis reframes the question as how far a flat 300t investment goes when you keep reinvesting the profits into new seeds each cycle. On that basis Cabbage leads Spring with about 1,414t profit per season, followed closely by Daffodils at 1,400t 待确认. Regrowth crops cannot be scaled up mid-season the same way, which is why compounding cheap single-harvest seeds wins on a tight budget.

Tips to Protect Your Profit

  • Crops die immediately when the season changes, so count backward from day 28 before planting slow 9-day crops.
  • Seasons are 28 days long, not 30, and assuming otherwise can leave a Potato field wilting on day 1 of Summer.
  • Buy regrowth seeds on day 1 whenever possible, since every delayed planting removes one 3-day harvest from the season.
  • Harvests can drop extra seeds, so banking them this year gives you free 300t seeds next year 待确认.
