Farming Planner
All 22 Valheim crops with what each seed becomes, how long it takes to grow, what you get back and which biome it will tolerate. Some crops return more seed than you planted and some do not, which decides whether a field sustains itself or slowly runs down.

Valheim has 22 plantable crops. Grow time is a range rather than a fixed number because the game rolls a value per plant, so this page shows the window instead of a single figure that would be wrong for most plants.

Valheim Farming FAQ
How long do crops take to grow in Valheim?
It varies by crop and is randomised per plant within a window. The table lists each crop’s minimum and maximum, straight from the game files.
What can you farm in Valheim?
22 crops can be planted, including seeds, vegetables and trees. Most need cultivated ground and a specific biome, both of which are listed per crop.
Do you need cultivated ground to farm in Valheim?
For most things, yes: 16 of the 22 plantable things require it, and the other 6 are tree saplings that go straight into wild ground. A plant standing on the wrong surface reports "not cultivated" and does not grow at all — an unhealthy plant is frozen, not slowed.
Which crops can only be grown in one biome in Valheim?
There are 4: Barley, Flax, Jotun Puffs, Magecap. Every other crop accepts several biomes, and the table lists each one. Biome is checked the same way cultivated ground is — plant outside the list and the plant sits there reporting the wrong biome, growing nothing, until you dig it up.
What takes the longest to grow in Valheim?
Oak Sapling, at 100 to 133 minutes. Both ends matter, because the game rolls a fresh number between them for every single plant — two seeds pressed into the ground at the same moment will not finish at the same moment, which is why nothing here is quoted as one duration.
