Pantry

The Pantry is arguably the most valuable room in the Community Center because its reward is the Greenhouse — a building on your farm where you can grow any crop from any season year-round, regardless of the weather outside. Ancient Fruit, Starfruit, and other high-value crops can be planted once in the Greenhouse and harvested repeatedly forever, making it an enormous source of income. This room contains six bundles spanning crops, animal products, and artisan goods. The three seasonal crop bundles are straightforward: plant Parsnips, Green Beans, Cauliflower, and Potatoes in Spring; Tomatoes, Hot Peppers, Blueberries, and Melons in Summer; and Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkins, and Yams in Fall. The critical thing is to plant at least one of each crop every season so you do not miss any. The Quality Crops Bundle is a common stumbling block. You need five Gold-star Parsnips, Melons, Pumpkins, and Corn. To grow Gold-star crops reliably, use fertilizer (either Basic or Quality Fertilizer) and level up your Farming skill. Corn is particularly convenient because it grows in both Summer and Fall, giving you two seasons to get five gold-quality harvests. The Animal Bundle requires Large Milk, Large Eggs (both white and brown), Large Goat Milk, Wool, and Duck Eggs. You will need a Barn upgraded to a Big Barn (for Goats) and a Coop upgraded to a Big Coop (for Ducks). Large animal products come from animals with high friendship, so pet and feed your animals daily. Getting a Duck Egg can take some time since ducks do not lay eggs every day. The Artisan Bundle is the most demanding, requiring Truffle Oil, Cloth, Goat Cheese, Cheese, Honey, Jelly, and six different fruit tree fruits (Apple, Apricot, Orange, Peach, Pomegranate, Cherry). Fruit trees take 28 days to mature, so plant them as early as you can afford to. Truffles come from Pigs, which require a Deluxe Barn. Plan ahead for these expensive upgrades and start saving early.
