In Stardew Valley, one of the many crops you can grow is Green Beans. But if you've gone looking for Green Bean seeds, you might be confused as to why you're coming up empty handed. Green Beans are grown from something called a Bean Starter, which functions like a seed but grows beans throughout the whole season. In this article we'll go over exactly how to grow Green Beans, how to complete the Green Bean Crop Order, and detail what else you can use Green Beans for in Stardew Valley.
Getting Green Beans in Stardew Valley
Green Beans are obtained by planting Bean Starters during Spring. Bean Starters can be purchased from the General Store, JojaMart, the Traveling Cart, and the Night Market. Bean Starters produce Green Beans throughout the whole season, so you can harvest between 6 to 8 beans per starter over the entirety of Spring.
