Stardew Valley Ancient Fruit

In order to get yourself an Ancient Fruit in Stardew Valley, all you need to do is pick up your trusty pickaxe and mine some rocks. After breaking several rocks, you will eventually find an Ancient Seed. After it’s been planted and allowed to grow for 28 days, the Ancient Seed will yield an Ancient Fruit.

These Ancient Fruits can earn the player quite a bit of money depending on their star rating, all of which can be seen listed below. Furthermore, if you have Tiller Profession unlocked, you can also get a 10% boost to sale price, again depending on the star rating.

The Ancient Fruit’s seed variant is also classified as an artifact. As such, it can be donated to the museum. The fruit also has two other usages beyond just being sold outright: The Ancient Fruit can be made into a jelly and also can be turned into wine. The jelly can be made with the preserves jar, while the wine can be crafted through use of the keg.

Further, players can also grow it in a Greenhouse to earn some quick Gold. For more details, check the list below for all of the prices for both items.
