Harvest Moon: Light of Hope A 20th Anniversary Celebration Guide › Open for Business

Sam’s General Store

The crafty traveling salesman, Sam, operates out of his home in Beacon Town, but often takes his wares with him on the road. Depending on the day of the week, he can be found in town, standing outside Gus’s Smithy at the mountain, or near the western edge of your farm.

Sam doesn’t offer the best prices—and his stock is pretty limited—but he buys anything you care to sell him, from gems to crops to fish and fur. You’ll no doubt make numerous trips between Gus and Sam as you process ore into gems and gems into money. It’s also worth noting that Sam will buy all of the fish you catch, including the inedible varieties that Bastian doesn’t purchase.

Mutated Crops for Sam

Always sell your mutated crops to Sam to gradually unlock the seeds. Sam typically needs to buy ten, twenty, or fifty pieces of a mutated crop variety in order to add the seeds to his inventory. Continue selling him the mutated crops until you see the corresponding seeds in his goods list. Check out the Farmer’s Handbook chapter for details on the cost and unlocking requirements for mutated seeds.

Aside from selling Sam your gems, the main reason to shop at Sam’s General Store is to purchase seeds. As the seasons advance and you interact with him more and more (and complete his requests), additional seeds for the basic crop varieties get added to his store. Come winter you should be able to purchase each of the items listed here. Seeds are sold individually.
