In addition to taming and taking care of dinosaurs in Paleo Pines, you can grow your farmland and sell crops. At the beginning of the game, you will only have access to three seed types, but as time goes by and seasons change, you can start planting new crops.

Here, we are going to over the best crops that you can plant in Paleo Pines. It's important to note that you can plant seeds any time of year, regardless of the season. Crops have preferred seasons though, so you will get the best results from planting within this recommended period.

Spring onions are one of the first crops that you will plant, but they are still worthy of being considered the best. Upon harvest after five days, you can obtain up to six spring onions, bringing you to a base price of 66 Shells.
While most crops on this list sell for around double their seed price, spring onions are already quite cheap, making them great to buy in bulk. As an added bonus, you can often find spring onion seeds that have blown onto your ranch. This is essentially free money, as you don't have to pay for this to occur.

Carrots are the other crop that you will plant first while playing Paleo Pines. While this makes them a starter crop too, you shouldn't cast them aside just yet. Carrots have an incredibly short growth time of just three days. Even though this little orange root sells for just four Shells, planting a field of carrots can yield dozens, as each harvest has a maximum of six obtainable carrots.
Overall, carrots are a great crop to have if you need to make some quick money. In the early-game, you can make your initial fortune with carrots, and later on, you can use carrots to earn Shells in just a few days with minimal effort.

Next up, we have watermelon. This crops on the opposite end of the price spectrum from carrots, and happens to be the highest-selling crop in the game so far. For the low price of 400 Shells, you can buy a watermelon seed and plant it. After 12 days, the watermelon will be fully grown, allowing you to harvest it.

Of course, this is not a feasible way to farm if you are still in the first season of the game. If you have the extra Shells and want to make 400 more though, watermelon are a great investment.

Cauliflower is another high-selling crop. Interestingly, cauliflower makes a bit more money than watermelons in terms of seed price to sell price. Watermelon double in value, while cauliflower will nearly triple in value.
Thankfully, these crops grow the best in two different seasons, which means that you can successfully work both into your yearly crop rotation. You can even plant cauliflower right after harvesting your watermelons, as watermelon leaves behind soil that cauliflower prefers.

Okay, hear us out on this. In the table above, you can see that strawberries sell for a tiny amount considering how much their seeds cost. There is an explanation for this though. In addition to yielding up to five strawberries upon harvest, you can re-harvest from the same crop six times.
For example, says you buy just two strawberry seeds, with your total coming to 200 Shells. After ten days, let's say that each crop gives the maximum five fruits. In total, you have ten strawberries that will sell for a base price of 70 Shells. If you maintain this rate for all six harvests, you will earn a grand total of 420 Shells, which is more than double the initial seed price.
2 Corn

Corn is similar to strawberries, as it will have multiple harvests. In total, corn can be harvested three times, with a maximum of three corn ears each time. If we were to use the same logic when deciding the price of strawberries, corn is quite profitable.

Two corn seeds are a whopping 1,000 Shells, but after 16 days, you will have sold enough corn to make 2,160 Shells. This is a lot, and it only increases if you have higher-quality corn. Overall, corn is a farming sim staple, and this remains true for Paleo Pines.
1 Goji Berries

Lastly, we have Goji berries. Rather than growing from seeds planted in tilled ground, Goji berries for from a bush that you plant directly into a hole. After nine days, the bush will be ready to harvest. A Goji berry bush is a bit of an investment, but the payoff is worth it.
Rather than replanting berry bushes, you can simply leave them to grow. They don't need to be watered, but will only grow during their preferred season. Still, with up to ten berries being harvested at a time, you make a total of 50 Shells per harvest. Over time, the Goji berry bush will pay for itself!
