Among the rarest and most prestigious crops in Grow a Garden, the Cacao stands out as both valuable and difficult to obtain. Introduced during the Lunar Glow Event, this multi-harvest Divine crop quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its rarity and rewarding yields. While many Divine crops provide prestige, Cacao is especially noteworthy for its unique place in farming strategies and its high demand in trading markets.

 

If you've been aiming to add this crop to your collection of Grow a Garden Items, you'll need to be patient, prepared, and sometimes a little bit lucky. In this guide, we'll break down all the known ways to obtain Cacao seeds, explain why the crop is so important, and share strategies for maximizing your chances.

 

Previous Method: Summer Harvest Event

 

When it was first introduced, Cacao seeds were available through the Summer Harvest Event, where players could earn them by accumulating enough points. This gave early adopters a chance to get their hands on the crop before it became part of the permanent pool of Divine crops.

 

For newer players, however, that event is no longer accessible. If you missed it, don't worry, there are still multiple methods available to obtain Cacao seeds.

 

Current Methods of Obtaining Cacao Seeds

 

1. Seed Shop

 

The most straightforward, but also the most expensive, way to get Cacao seeds is through the Seed Shop.

 

Seeds have only a 0.666% chance (about 1 in 150) of appearing in the shop's rotation.

 

If you see it, the cost is 2,500,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 679 Robux.

 

This makes Cacao one of the priciest Divine crops in the game. If you're relying on Sheckles instead of Robux, you'll need to plan ahead, as saving up 2.5 million Grow a Garden Sheckles is no small feat. Many players focus on efficient farming cycles, high-yield crops, and event rewards to build up their reserves before going all-in on this purchase.

 

2. Lucky Harvest

 

One of the most exciting mechanics in Grow a Garden is the Lucky Harvest, which occasionally rewards players with rare seeds while harvesting ordinary crops.

 

While the odds of obtaining Cacao this way are slim, it's completely free if you're already farming. Planting and harvesting in large numbers maximizes your chances. If you prefer grinding over spending, Lucky Harvest should always be part of your strategy.

 

3. Red Fox Encounters

 

The mischievous Red Fox isn't just there to frustrate you by stealing crops, it can also leave behind rare rewards. Occasionally, these rewards include Cacao seeds.

 

While the Red Fox isn't a reliable farming method, its unpredictability adds an extra layer of excitement. Keeping your garden active and paying attention to fox encounters can sometimes net you rare treasures like Cacao.

 

4. Snail Harvests

 

Snails may seem like small and simple companions, but they can also yield Cacao seeds when harvested. Many experienced players farm snails deliberately, as they are surprisingly effective for generating rare crop seeds over time.

 

If you're committed to building a collection of Divine crops, maintaining snails alongside your regular crops is a smart investment.

 

5. Dog Companions

 

Lastly, dogs, including the Dog, Golden Lab, and Shiba Inu, have a very rare chance of digging up Cacao seeds. While this shouldn't be your primary farming method, it's a nice bonus for anyone who has invested in pets.

 

If you already own pet-related Grow a Garden Items, keeping your dogs active may eventually reward you with one of the rarest seeds in the game.

 

Strategies for Success

 

Since Cacao is so rare and valuable, you'll need a plan to secure it. Here are a few strategies:

 

Check the Seed Shop Regularly: The 0.666% chance means patience is key. Make it a daily habit to check the shop for rotations.

 

Save Your Currency: Don't waste Grow a Garden Sheckles on less valuable crops if Cacao is your end goal. Budgeting is critical when the price tag is in the millions.

 

Diversify Your Efforts: Combine Lucky Harvests, snail farming, pet digging, and Red Fox encounters to improve your odds.

 

Trade with Other Players: Since many players have surplus Divine seeds, you may be able to trade for Cacao using other rare Grow a Garden Items you've collected.

 

Final Thoughts

 

The Cacao crop is one of the most prestigious and profitable Divine crops in Grow a Garden. Its multi-harvest property makes it an invaluable long-term asset, and owning even one plant can elevate your farm's efficiency and prestige.

 

Yes, the seed is difficult to obtain. Between its sky-high cost of 2,500,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles, its slim chance in the Seed Shop, and the rare alternative methods of farming, patience is essential. But for dedicated players, the grind is worth it.

 

As with all rare Grow a Garden Items, securing Cacao adds both status and functionality to your garden. Whether you're farming it for prestige, profit, or personal satisfaction, this crop symbolizes the pinnacle of Divine farming.
