Stardew Valley: 10 Villagers That Support Your Farm The Most

As a farmer in Stardew Valley, you can make a lot of money. Especially once you’re able to start selling artisan goods like wine and cheese. Some players devote their entire save files to making as much money as they can as quickly as humanly possible.

Which Stardew Valley Character Are You Based On Your Favorite Anime?

When anime and cozy games collide, who do you connect with most?

But the game doesn’t explain how you’re able to make so much money in a small economic space like Pelican Town. Sure, maybe people from other places are buying up your goods. But who in the village is supporting your farm the most? This list will explore that question and see who your biggest supporter is.

This list is ranked based on how much an NPC would purchase from you, or how much they would help your farmer and their business.

10 Linus

Now it doesn’t seem like Linus buys much, preferring to live off the land. But he does support your farmer in another key way.

When you’re out beyond 2 am and pass out, it’s often Linus who finds you and brings you back home. Some speculate that he takes money from you, but others think that with all the magical things going on around the valley, he saves you without taking anything for himself.

9 Harvey

On the note of saving you, Harvey takes care of you similarly to Linus. He is a doctor after all, so it should go without saying.

If you're looking to survive and thrive in the mines of Stardew Valley, these items are well worth the inventory space.

When you drop to one HP in The Mines or anywhere else, you wake up in Harvey’s office, still close to death, but “patched up” and out of harm's way. So he supports your business by keeping you alive to run it.

8 Clint

The fandom has some less-than-kind feelings toward Clint. But at the end of the day, without his services, things would be a lot tougher around the farm.

Clint’s upgrades to your tools make every aspect of running your farm easier. From watering your crops faster and with fewer refills, to being able to chop down those big logs and stumps on your land, the Blacksmith deserves some credit.

7 Willy

Willy is a homie from the first time you meet him. As soon as he reopens his shop on the second day of Spring in your first year, he just gives you a fishing rod for the good of the sport, or art of fishing, whatever you want to call it.

Stardew Valley: All Legendary Fish, Ranked

Want to prove you're the very best farmer, like no farmer ever was? Then catch these fish!

This gives you a step up in the early days as fish can be sold for relatively high prices when you aren’t making any money from your crops yet. And who knows? Maybe he buys a lot of the fish you sell.

6 Demetrius

Demetrius doesn’t rush in to help you right away like Willy does, but he is still very interested in your farm and learning from it.

Once you make a total of 25,000 gold, he will approach you and ask you to fill the cave on your farm with either fruit bats or mushrooms. While he conducts his research, you get to pick up whatever fruit or mushrooms appear in the cave and sell them or turn them into artisan goods.

5 The Wizard

You quickly become associated with The Wizard when he invites you over to expand your mind so that you can understand the Junimos. Not only does that unlock a huge part of the game, the Community Center, but he also does more to help out.

Is Pierre Abigail's father? Here's everything we know about Abigail and her parents' secrets.

Once you’ve completed the Community Center and a couple of other quests for him, The Wizard can instantly create several buildings on your land, including the Golden Clock and the Junimo Huts.

This list doesn’t include Morris or the Joja Route. He changes a lot around the Valley but very little for your farm.

4 Marnie

It’s been a real sausage fest until now, but it’s only because some of the women of the village impact your farm in much more direct ways, like selling you coop and barn animals. There would be very few artisan goods if it wasn’t for Marnie.

The Stardew fandom can hate on Marnie all they want for her not being open as often as they’d like, but if it weren’t for her, there’d be a lot less eggs, milk, and truffles that allow your farm to thrive.

3 Gus

Gus doesn’t support your farm directly by selling your livestock or bringing you back to health. However, in the background of the game, he has to be buying the bulk of your food.

Your neighbors overpay for some pretty easy dishes.

Vegetables, fruits, anything he can use for cooking, and of course, he teaches you some helpful recipes too. It’s a healthy give-and-take relationship that aids you both.

2 Robin

Robin is responsible for building just about everything on your farm. Oh, do you need a new coop? She’s got you. Need to renovate your house? Give her a few days and it will be done flawlessly.

So, when it comes to supporting your farm, you’d hit the ceiling of your potential very quickly if it weren’t for Robin helping with the expansion of your original farmland and home.

1 Pierre

Pierre is sometimes regarded as a villain in Stardew Valley. He buys up your stock and marks it up to outrageous prices for the rest of the people in town.

But…that does mean he buys your stock; he buys every single food item you bring him, forage included. Sure, he tries to sell it as if it were his own or fill his grange display with items he surely got from you, but as long as he keeps paying you, then does it matter?
