Stardew Valley might trick some people that it is a life simulator, but, at heart, it is still a farming sim. There are many ways you can make money in this game, but nothing gets even close to crops when it comes to profit.
As you progress through the game and repair more of your grandfather’s farm, you might think that you should fix that broken down Greenhouse in the northwestern part of the plot of land.

What is the Greenhouse in Stardew Valley
Players can first see the Greenhouse on their first day in Stardew Valley, as its ruin is standing right to the left of the Farmhouse.
This building, once you manage to fix it, will allow you to grow crops inside.
The huge difference between planting crops outside or inside the Greenhouse is that the season doesn’t matter inside this building.
It can be the middle of Winter when nothing grows, and you can have a lot of crops growing strong inside the Greenhouse, producing you a lot of money.
Usually, most players plant the most profitable crop that is available at the moment inside the Greenhouse and there is no room for diversity. The Greenhouse is mostly used as a money-printing machine.
Since there are crops that you actually only have to plant once, and then they will give you harvests forever, the Greenhouse becomes the only resource you need to grow your plants.
You can also place Fruit Trees inside the Greenhouse on the edges where you can’t plant crops, allowing you to also get fruits every day with no real disadvantages.

You don’t need to search for all the possible ingredients to complete some bizarre Bundle, you just need to have a lot of gold.
To become a member of JojaMart, you just need to give the manager 5k g. Once you do this, you will gain access to the Joja Community Development Form.
This piece of paper acts as a menu where you can buy all the upgrades you would get for completing full room Bundles in the Community Center.
To get the Greenhouse in Stardew Valley working with JojaMart, you just need to select the Greenhouse upgrade in the Joja Community Development Form and pay 35k g for it.
