Farming is one of the most effective methods to build up a large fortune of Star Coins in Disney Dreamlight Valley, with pumpkins sitting at the very top of the crop hierarchy. Players seeking to maximize their income often search for where to buy pumpkin seeds to kickstart their agricultural empire. Knowing the exact steps to locate and purchase these valuable seeds can save you considerable time and effort during your playthrough.
Unlocking the Forgotten Lands Biome
To acquire pumpkin seeds, players must first gain access to the Forgotten Lands, which is the spookiest region in the valley. Reaching this area requires significant investment, as you must first unlock the Sunlit Plateau for 7,000 Dreamlight before paying an additional 15,000 Dreamlight to clear the path to the Forgotten Lands. Completing daily Dreamlight duties is the most reliable strategy for gathering the required currency quickly.
Once you step into the Forgotten Lands, your next priority is finding Goofy's vendor stall. The stall will be broken initially and requires an investment of 5,000 Star Coins to Scrooge McDuck to repair it. After construction is complete, Goofy will immediately begin offering pumpkin seeds for purchase.
Purchasing and Harvesting Pumpkin Seeds
Goofy sells pumpkin seeds at his Forgotten Lands stall for 275 Star Coins per packet. Players can buy seeds in bulk, allowing them to plant large crops that yield massive returns upon harvest. Although they take four hours to mature and require multiple waterings, fully grown pumpkins sell for approximately 650 Star Coins each, yielding substantial net profits.
To get the most out of your investment, always bring along a villager assigned to the Gardening role when harvesting your crops. High-level companion characters will spawn extra pumpkins on the ground, drastically increasing your total harvest count for free. You can also cook your harvested pumpkins into dish recipes like Pumpkin Puffs to increase your earnings even further before selling.
Alternative Ways to Find Pumpkin Seeds
While Goofy's stall is the primary merchant location, players might occasionally acquire pumpkin seeds through other gameplay activities. Clearing Night Thorns or special seasonal obstacles in high-level biomes can sometimes drop random seed packets directly into your inventory. Wall-E's garden also has a small chance to yield fully grown pumpkins or seeds once fully upgraded.
However, relying on random drops is far too slow for serious money-making endeavors. Securing direct access to the Forgotten Lands stall remains the standard approach for consistent farming runs. Once your farm is fully operational, buying pumpkin seeds in bulk will ensure your valley bank account stays permanently full.
