How to unlock the Cowpoke achievement in Stardew Valley - Definitive Guide

Once you have earned a total of 50000 gold you will get this achievement.
You do NOT have to have 50000 gold on you to spend.

A fast way to earn gold is to grow crops, selling the produce (i suggest keeping a few of all different crops) and buying new seeds and starting over again.

Remember that most crops only grow in a certain season (spring, summer, fall) and each season lasts 28 days so plan accordingly. When buying seeds at the store it will say how many days it takes for them to be ready for harvest.

Another tip is using a fertilizer (unlocks at lvl 1 in farming) that gives the chance for better quality produce that will sell for more gold. It will show up in your crafting menu when available (uses 2 sap) but you might be able to buy some in the store too.

Also, dont forget to put up a scarecrow to...yeah, the name says it all. It will protect your crops 8 blocks in each direction (circle).

Wine is a very good income as well once you can make it.

Hope that helps a bit and good luck!

This is bugged for me as well. I've won the "Millionaire" achievement but not this. I wish a patch or something would fix it

@A Krayt Dragon , @Troll98 and everyone else in their position.. when you know you are about to get an achievement (you've checked the wiki and are 100% sure you understand how it is supposed to unlock) you should start a new day then sell enough items to get this achievement to pop and if it doesn't.. reset the day and try again.. had to do that a few times in this game (you have to make a second playthrough for JoJo Co. Member of the Year achievement so it's not the end of the world but it is really annoying..)

Like the "Greenhorn" achievement, you should earn this one in no time. Just remember to stay profitable:

Spring: Potatoes, Cauliflower, Kale
Summer: Blueberries
Fall: Cranberries

Additionally, you may be tempted to sell everything you don't use for a quick buck. There's no right or wrong to this, but if you do, try and keep 5-10 of everything for good measure.

NOTE
This achievement is related to:
Greenhorn: Earn 15,000g
Homesteader: Earn 250,000g
Millionaire: Earn 1,000,000g
