How to Make Artisan Goods in Stardew Valley

Learn how to make Artisan Goods in Stardew Valley!

Stardew Valley is a peaceful region abundant in crops, animal products, and forage items. These natural resources have a variety of uses, from giving them away to the townhouses to selling them for a quick buck. But perhaps the best way to utilize them is to turn them into Artisan Goods! We have listed all the available Artisan Goods in the game, including what you need to do to obtain them.

Artisan Goods are processed items such as wine, cheese, mayonnaise, etc. Selling these products is arguably the best way to make much money in this game. But, before you start making heaps of Artisan Items, you must first learn how to build Artisan Machines.

Artisan Machines

An artisan machine is where you can put raw items that get refined into artisan products. Players can build machines using several materials, and you can only craft most of them after reaching specific Farming skill levels.

Craftable machines are not the only thing you unlock as you level up. You can choose Professions that can give you special abilities or raise the value of your products. Choosing the Artisan Profession over the Agriculturist Profession is a good choice if you want to profit more from crops or animal products. This ability can raise the price of Artisan Goods by 40%. To help you decide on the best products to invest in, we have written below all the products you can refine with Artisan Machines.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Mayonnaise Machine

The Mayonnaise Machine is one of the first machines you can craft, and it only becomes available once you reach Farming Level 2. As its name implies, it can turn an egg into mayonnaise. It takes three in-game hours to process eggs into mayonnaise, no matter which type of egg you use. To build a Mayonnaise Machine, you will need 15 pieces of Wood, 15 Stone, 1 Earth Crystal, and 1 Copper Bar.

Mayonnaise

The quality of the mayonnaise depends on the size of the chicken egg. For instance, if you put a Regular-sized Egg into the Mayonnaise Machine, you will get a Normal-quality Mayo. However, placing high-quality chicken eggs in the machine does not mean you can turn them into high-quality mayonnaise.

Large-sized eggs produce Gold-quality Mayonnaise. Your chickens can provide large eggs if you constantly care for them. You can obtain Iridium-quality Mayonnaise with Golden Eggs. Golden eggs will not be available until you achieve 100% perfection in the game.

Lastly, if you place an Ostrich Egg in the Mayonnaise Machine, you will acquire ten mayonnaise. Unlike the chicken eggs, the quality of ostrich mayonnaise is determined by the grade of the ostrich egg.

Duck Mayonnaise

Ducks that are regularly fed lay eggs every two days. Duck Mayonnaise is obtained after processing a Duck Egg in the Mayonnaise Machine. This artisan product costs 375g, but picking the Artisan Profession will boost it to 525g. Duck Mayo is also used as a key to unlock one of the three hidden boxes that contain a Strange Statue.

Void Mayonnaise

Void Mayonnaise is a vile-smelling jar of black paste that most NPCs hate, except for Krobus and Sebastian. They can be acquired by processing Void Eggs in the Mayonnaise Machine. The highest profit you can get from Void Mayo is 385g. It can not be sold at a higher price, but it is an essential item you need to get to complete the Goblin Problem quest.

Dinosaur Mayonnaise

Dinosaur Mayonnaise is produced by placing a Dinosaur Egg in the machine. It is not easy to acquire these elusive eggs, but the good thing is there are plenty of ways to find them. Dino Mayo is the most profitable mayonnaise, selling for as high as 1,120g per jar.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Bee House

The Bee House is a different kind of Artisan Equipment. It makes Honey, but instead of placing a raw item inside, you must plant flowers near the equipment and wait four days for the bees inside to create Honey. Different flowers bloom for different seasons, and the flowers you plant around the Bee House will affect what kind of Honey it produces. Gather 40 Wood, 8 Coal, 1 Iron Bar, and 1 Maple Syrup to make a Bee House. The Bee House is the second Artisan Equipment you can craft since it gets unlocked after reaching Farming Level 3.

Spring

Tulip is one of the flowers that grow around spring, and the Honey you can get from them will earn you up to 224g. Blue Jazz may not be the prettiest flower that blossoms in Stardew Valley due to its simple sphere-like appearance. But it has a slightly better selling price than Tulip Honey, costing up to 280g per jar.

Summer

Despite being a universally hated gift, the Poppy flower is the finest colorful crop to grow in Summer. Poppy Honey will earn you 532g should you pick the Artisan Profession. Summer Spangle Honey comes in second place; its highest-selling price is 392g. Sunflower seeds are steep, and Sunflower Honey will only amount to 364g. But the flower that sprouts from Sunflower seeds can survive both Summer and Fall.

Fall

Another flower that can thrive in the fall season is the Fairy Rose. Fairy Rose Honey is the most expensive honey in the game, fetching over 925g per jar.

Any Season except Winter

Wild Honey is what you obtain if you place a Bee House on the farm where no flowers surround it. Without flowers to work with, bees can only produce Wild Honey, which sells for 100g.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Preserves Jar

Preserves Jar can take in fruit, vegetable, and sturgeon roe and preserve them until they become artisan goods. You must only reach Farming level 4 to unlock the Preserves Jar. You must have 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal to craft it. Processing raw materials in this equipment takes 2 to 4 in-game days. Therefore, to maximize profit, try to build plenty of Preserves Jars and make bulk preserved goods.

Pickles

Pickles can be obtained from Vegetables. A substantial amount of vegetable crops grows in Stardew Valley, so here is a list of all the pickled vegetables you can make with a Preserves Jar. Note that in this guide, we have emphasized the products that have a higher value than the others:

Jelly

From fruit trees to fruit crops, any Fruit you can find can be turned into jelly. Here is a compilation of all the fruits that can be gathered and preserved in a jar:

Aged Roe

There is always a good chance fish in ponds will give you resources like prismatic shards and dragon teeth. But most of the time, you will receive fish eggs or Roe from fish. Unfortunately, Roe does not make much profit. But if you make an Aged Roe in a Preserve Jar, its price becomes substantially higher. We have named all the kinds of Aged Roe below, plus the money you can acquire from selling them:

Caviar 

Sturgeon Fish can supply you with Sturgeon Roe, provided that you raise them in a fish pond. Sturgeon roe is the only roe you can turn into Caviar. You can earn 700g for this delicacy if you become an Artisan. Caviar is also required for the Missing Bundle in the deserted JoJaMart.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Cheese Press

The Cheese Press can turn milk into cheese. The larger your milk jug, the better the cheese the Cheese Press produces, like the Mayonnaise Machine. Before you can build a Cheese Press, you will need 45 Wood, 45 Stone, 10 Hardwood, and 1 Copper Bar. This Artisan Equipment can only be crafted once you reach Farming Level 6.

Cheese

Cheese is a dairy product made with Cow’s Milk. A mature cow can give you milk daily if you don’t forget to feed it. Give a cow sufficient care, like petting it and supplying it with hay daily, and they will eventually give you Large Milk. Large Milk can give you Gold-quality Cheese and sell for 483g. Cheese is also an ingredient for Cheese Cauliflower, Pizza, and Pepper Poppers.

Goat Cheese

A Goat can provide you with Milk, which you can turn into Goat Cheese. It has a much better selling price than the basic cheese, but unlike cows, you can only milk goats every other day. Goat Cheese costs 400g but can go as high as 840g.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Loom

If you like dressing up your player occasionally, you can make an assortment of clothes using a Cloth. Looms can make Cloth out of Wool, and Wool can be gathered from a Sheep or a Rabbit. Get 60 Wood, 30 Fiber, and 1 Pine Tar to craft a Loom. The Loom becomes available after you reach Farming Level 7.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Oil Maker

The Oil Maker can squeeze out Oil from several raw materials. You need to get to Farming Level 8 to craft an Oil Maker. Before making an Oil Maker, you must gather 50 Slimes, 20 Hardwood, and 1 Gold Bar.

Oil

Oil does not have a competitive selling price, but you will need it to prepare meals since many recipes use it as an ingredient. Oil is processed from Corn, Sunflower Seeds, or Sunflowers. It can be sold for 100g.

Truffle Oil

A mushroom Pigs like to forage. Truffle Oil is made from Truffles. It is one of the most lucrative artisan products, given that Truffles are considered a prized culinary ingredient. You can obtain Truffles from pigs if you raise them in a Deluxe Barn and let them roam outside on sunny days. Truffle Oil can be sold for 1491g.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Keg

Kegs are used to make beverages from different organic resources. Some of the most profitable Artisan Goods come from Kegs, but it takes weeks to produce them. This Artisan equipment can only be available after reaching Farming Level 8. To start making artisan beverages, you need 30 pieces of wood, one copper bar, one iron bar, and one oak resin to craft a kettle.

Juice

Juice is made from Vegetable crops—except wheat, hops, and tea leaves. It is a nutritious drink that can restore some of your health and energy. Listed down is the price of all the vegetables to be processed into juice:

Wine

Wine is a beverage that recovers your health and energy when consumed, but drinking it causes you to slow down. A Keg produces wine from Fruit, which lasts a whole week. Below is a detailed table of how much these beverages cost:

Beer

Beer is another alcoholic drink that can also slow down your movement. Making beer requires you to place wheat inside a kettle. Should you choose to be a professional artisan, it sells for 560g per mug. Beer is a well-liked gift in Pelican Town, and the only residents who are not fond of Beer are Penny, Sebastian, Leo, Vincent, and Jas.

Mead

Mead is made from Honey. A gold-quality and professionally-produced Mead can sell for 420g. Like all alcoholic beverages in this game, consuming Mead can cause your movement to decrease.

Pale Ale

Hops can be placed in a Keg to produce a Pale Ale. It is one of the first quests you will get, and it will be requested by none other than Pam. It takes 1 to 2 days to make Pale Ale. Selling it will earn you as much as 630g.

Coffee

Coffee is a consumable speed booster that can be made by placing coffee beans in a kettle. Each coffee can be sold for 150g, but if you make Triple Shot Espresso using three coffee and sell it, you will earn 450g.

Green Tea

Green Tea is an energizing beverage that can temporarily increase your Max Energy to 30. You will need Tea Leaves to make Green Tea. These vegetable crops come from Tea Saplings and are grown in a Garden Pot. To get Tea Saplings, you must become friends with Caroline and wait until she gives you a Tea Sapling, or you can purchase one from the Traveling Merchant.

Stardew Valley Artisan Goods – Cask

Casks are perhaps the last Artisan Equipment you can unlock, as you may only obtain them after fully upgrading your house. Artisan Products like cheese, beer, or wine get stored and preserved in Casks for days. And the longer they age in casks, the better quality products you can acquire. Casks are very cost-effective, too, considering that you can make one using only 20 Wood and 1 Hardwood.

Below are all the Artisan Goods that you can age in Casks:

Miscellaneous Stardew Valley Artisan Goods Machines – Tapper

The Tapper and Heavy Tapper are Refining Machines that can collect Saps when placed on Trees. Tappers can produce Tree Saps and Tree Syrups, which are considered Artisan Goods in the game. Despite that, you can not sell these products at a higher price even if you become an Artisan. Instead, their value only increases if you pick the Forester and Tapper Profession.

Tappers can become available after you get to Foraging Level 3. You can craft a Tapper using 40 Wood and 2 Copper Bars. Meanwhile, the recipe for Heavy Tapper can be purchased from Mr. Qi’s Walnut Room for 20 Qi Gems. Heavy Tappers can produce Tree Syrups faster. The materials required to craft them are 30 Hardwood and 1 Radioactive Bar.

Maple Syrup

Maple Syrup is produced by tapping a Maple Tree. This sweet syrup can help you regain a tiny portion of your health, but it would benefit you more if you turned it into a Maple Bar. Maple Syrup can be sold for 250g if you become a professional Tapper. Most of the NPCs prefer Maple Syrup, apart from Maru.

Oak Resin

Oak Resin comes from Oak Tree. Unlike the Maple Syrup, Oak Resins are inedible since their purpose lies in their use as a crafting material. You could not build a Keg or a Deluxe speed gro without Oak Resin. Regarding gifting, Maru is the only Pelican Town villager who likes Oak Resin. You can sell Oak Resin for 187g.

Pine Tar

Pine Tar is a tree sap that is collected from pine trees. It is used to make Looms, Rain Totems, and Speed-Gro. You can earn 100g to 125g from selling them. Most NPCs do not appreciate receiving Pine Tree goop as a gift. Unsurprisingly, Maru is the only villager who’s fond of Pine Tars.
