Permanent crop

A permanent crop is a crop which has been added to the market for an indefinite length of time. It offers bushels upon harvesting, and it can be mastered. Permanent crops stand in contrast to limited edition crops, which do not offer bushels, are tied to events of limited duration, and generally cannot be mastered.

Some permanent crops, like corn and strawberries, have been a part of the market since FarmVille was first released. Others, like rye, have been added to the market later as permanent crops. And some, like posole corn and basil, were once limited edition crops, but were later returned to the market as permanent crops. When this later case happens, the details about the crop, such as price, have sometimes changed. Basil, for instance, is much more expensive as a permanent crop than it was as a limited edition one.

Most co-op jobs and crafting projects use only permanent crops, though there have been occasional limited edition co-op jobs, such as the Birthday Event job involving cupcakes. In the same way, there have been rare examples of limited edition crops that could be mastered — such as triticale and tomatillos — but these are exceptional cases.
