Hay Day – the best way to make money

Here’s a comprehensive guide to making money in Hay Day, covering strategies and tips to maximize your coins at every stage of the game. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, these methods can help boost your in-game income effectively.


1. Master the Basics

  • Plant Fast-Growing Crops:
    • Use wheat and corn for quick profits. Both grow fast, are always in demand, and can generate coins through constant selling.
    • Use the “Wheating” Strategy: Keep planting wheat, sell it, and collect bonus items like bolts or planks from harvesting.
  • Sell Excess Crops and Goods in the Roadside Shop:
    • Always price items at the maximum allowed price; most will still sell quickly.

2. Optimize Production Buildings

  • Focus on making high-value items in production buildings (e.g., bakery, dairy, sugar mill).
    • Bakery: Bread, pies, and cookies sell well.
    • Dairy: Butter, cheese, and cream are profitable and always in demand.
    • Sugar Mill: Brown sugar and syrup are key ingredients and sell for good prices.

Tip: Queue items overnight that take longer to produce to maximize efficiency.


3. Use the Roadside Shop Effectively

  • Price to Maximize Profit: Always sell at the highest price.
  • Advertise High-Demand Items: Use the “advertise” feature in your shop for quick sales (e.g., pies, cakes, and dairy products).
  • Sell Rare Goods: Products like jewelry, honey, and fishing items fetch premium prices.

  • Town Visitor Events: Upgrade town buildings to earn rewards from visitors.
  • Double Coin Events: Always stockpile popular items like bread, pies, and juices for these events.

5. Maximize Animal Products

  • Eggs: Chickens produce them consistently, and they’re always in demand.
  • Milk & Goat Milk: Use cows and goats to produce high-value items like butter, cream, and cheese.
  • Sheep Wool: Sell raw wool or use it to make sweaters for a higher profit.
  • Bee Products: Honeycomb and beeswax items like candles and lotions are very profitable.

6. Expand the Fishing Area

  • Unlock the fishing area and focus on producing fish-based goods:
    • Lobster Tails & Duck Feathers: Use traps to collect rare items.
    • Sushi Rolls & Grilled Fish: Profitable and needed for truck orders.

7. Specialize in High-Profit Items by Level

As you unlock more buildings, shift focus to advanced goods:

  • Early Game (Level 1-30): Bread, butter, cream, brown sugar.
  • Mid-Game (Level 31-60): Pies, jewelry, syrups, juices.
  • Late Game (Level 61+): Bouquets, sushi rolls, lobster tail soup, and hot chocolate.

8. Farm Pass and Derby Rewards

  • Complete tasks to earn coins, tools, and boosters from the Farm Pass.
  • Join a Neighborhood Derby: Finish tasks for valuable prizes, including coins and rare items.

9. Trade Excess Resources

  • Use trading platforms like Hay Day forums or social media groups to sell items you don’t need. Tools like bolts, planks, and duct tape are highly sought after.

  • Focus on Expansion Materials: Sell excess land or barn materials for premium coins.
  • Specialize in Rare Items: Items like diamond rings, exotic bouquets, and smoothies command the highest prices.

Tips for Long-Term Success
