Which Crops Are Needed?
The Polyculture trophy / achievement’s description makes it sound like every single crop in the game must be shipped fifteen times. However, that’s not true. Only28 specific cropsneed to be grown and sold fifteen times, with some only being obtainable after at least a year in the valley. Most crop seeds can be obtained in multiple ways. The tables below show the most reliable sources of each crop; additionally, there are a few tips players should keep in mind.

Can The Achievement Be Tracked?
It can be easy to forgetwhich cropshave or have not been sold, but players don’t need to worry. By visiting the ‘collections’ tab of their inventory, items that have been sold will appear in color. Players can then see the exact number of that crop that they have sold byhovering over them. Even if the item has been collected, it won’t appear unless it’s been sold via the shipping bin.
Players can also use this system to track their progress towards the Monoculture trophy / achievement, as well as seeing whichfish they have left to catch. When fifteen of each of the 28 needed crops has been sold, this trophy / achievement will unlock.
Stardew Valleyis available on Windows, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
