Artichoke is now part of Grow a Garden’s Trading and Cooking Event, but there’s only one way to unlock it—and it’s not for sale.
Artichoke only comes from one source
Artichoke was added to Grow a Garden on August 2, 2025, through the Trading and Cooking Event update. It’s an Uncommon crop that can’t be bought with in-game currency or crafted. The only way to get an Artichoke seed is from Chris P., the pig chef, during the Cooking Event. But there’s no guarantee, you may get other rewards instead.
Boost your chances with Rare meals
If you’re trying to farm Artichoke, focus on feeding Chris P. Rare meals. These meals raise the chances of getting an Artichoke seed because it’s considered a Rare reward.
You can find full cooking instructions in the Chris P. Bacon Cooking Recipes guide. Keep in mind: Prismatic meals offer higher-tier rewards, but they don’t include Artichoke seeds.
Pets can’t help this time
Usually, pets can assist in farming. But when it comes to event-exclusive seeds like Artichoke, they don’t work. For example:
- Red Foxes can duplicate seeds but not event seeds like Artichoke.
- Dogs can dig up random seeds, but they also skip event rewards.
If you’re hoping for help from your pets, this time you’ll have to go solo.

Why Artichoke is worth farming
Artichoke might not be the rarest crop, but it’s limited to the event. That makes it valuable for players trying to complete certain recipes or trading goals. If you’re participating in the Cooking Event, farming this seed early could give you an edge.
