Are you looking to make money through farming? Let’s go through the best crop to make money in Palia.
Overall, farming is a complicated process that requires farming various types of crops at the same time so that they give adjacency bonuses to each other. Nevertheless, if you only want to focus on one crop, the best one is the Tomato.
In this guide, I will showcase the best crop to make money in Palia, as well as the best crop overall to keep your Seeds Makers and Worm Farms constantly producing.

Best Farming Crop in Palia to Make Money

The best crop in Palia for making money is the Tomato. It can be bought in the early game, produces crops fast, and will keep producing after harvest.
Specifically, the Tomato takes 4 days to grow, yields 2-3 tomatoes per harvest, and can be harvested up to four times. As for its price, it sells for 23 gold at normal quality and 34 gold at star quality while it costs 80 gold per seed.
Thus, even if you only get two tomatoes per harvest and they are all of normal quality, you’ll still make 184 gold by selling them, which is 104 gold profit.
Of course, with higher quality yields, fertilizer, or other crop bonuses, you can expect even more money per harvest.
If you want to optimize your farming setup and produce the best crops, check out our Palia farming guide on the best crop layout.
Best Tomato Farming Layout
The best tomato farming layout in Palia includes combining Tomatoes with Potatoes and Cotton as follows:
Tomato | Potato | Tomato |
Cotton | Tomato | Cotton |
Tomato | Potato | Tomato |
Repeat this layout for every farming plot you have by switching the Potato and Cotton slots in any adjacent farming plots to maximize bonuses.
With this layout, all tomatoes will get Water Retention from the Potatoes and increased quality from Cotton. Combine this with some fertilizer and you’ll produce a lot of high-quality Tomatoes that will make you rich.
Specifically, I highly recommend the Harvest Boost fertilizer to maximize your profits.
Additionally, all Potatoes will have Water Retention and some of them will be quality boosted.
For different boosts, you can consider swapping out Cotton for Onions/Carrots to prevent weed growth. This will make the whole process require even less effort but will reduce your profits slightly.
Wrapping up
To sum up, the best crop to make money in Palia is the Tomato which can turn a profit even if planted in the worst conditions.
If you take the time and effort to get as many bonuses as possible from adjacent crops, you can easily become rich just by farming Tomatoes.
