Gourmet Seed Pack in Grow a Garden is the highlight of the recent Cooking Update, introducing six exclusive plants with varying rarity and profit potential. This guide will walk you through how to get the Gourmet Seed Pack, what each plant offers, and tips for maximizing your farm’s income and collection with these new additions.
How to Get Gourmet Seed Pack in Grow a Garden
To obtain a Gourmet Seed Pack, you’ll need to interact with Chris P, the Pig Chef NPC stationed in front of the seed shop. The process begins by checking Chris P’s current food craving (displayed in a dialog bubble), then using the cauldron to cook the specific dish he requests with your available crops.
After preparing the dish, deliver it to Chris P. The reward you receive is random, and you may need to cook and serve several dishes before landing a Gourmet Seed Pack. Consistency and attention to Chris P’s cravings are key for increasing your chances.
