I was curious to know how much money I was making yearly, so I decided to do this challenge on a whim, and this is what I ended up with after the full year was done.

Info: This is my 3rd farm ever, and my first farm on a mobile device. Challenge began Spring 1, year 3 and ended Spring 1, year 4. Started the challenge with ~$400k, but I didn't know I was doing the challenge until I started it, so no other 'prep' was done. I could not sell anything to anyone at any time, nor could I trash can anything. All money for the year had to be made by completing missions (or through the farm statue, but I didn't get that until late summer). All sellables must be stored until Winter 28, year 3, where they will then be shipped in the bin. Between year 1 and year 2, my farm earnings were $3.63M.

Synopsis: For someone who didn't plan a single step of this beforehand, I found it really enjoyable, challenging myself like that. I went from $400k to $150k before summer and had to slow down on my spending. By late fall, I had to spend all of my mission money to keep my animals fed. Ginger Isle and the Skull Caverns were missing me immensely.

Clearly, this isn't how much I WOULD HAVE made in a year if I didn't challenge myself, but I would recommend trying something like this if you don't mod and need to spice things up.

The next challenge is already a week underway… Never leave Ginger Island for an entire year, and the only stuff I can bring is what I can carry that first voyage.

  1. this is insaneeee!!! if u dont mind me asking, how did u go down from 400 to 150 so quick? what missteps did u make?

    im feeling a little inspired right now haha might attempt it in one of my saves for sure

  2. I always save up all my farm produce and sell it at the end of each month. I just finished winter of year 2 and I made 7.2M in one month. But that includes some mods to help like automate and larger greenhouse. Without that stuff I probably would have only made like 5M

  3. Great job. I did the same thing on my first farm for year 4 and I think I made around the same amount

  4. I do something similar, but I just out a chest next to the shipping box and when it’s full I sell everything.
