How to Get Turnips in Animal crossing: New Horizons
Experienced players in New Horizons are usually the most excited when Sunday is approaching every week. It is the day an NPC named Daisy-Mae graces your island to sell turnips through her grandmother’s Stalk Market.
Turnips aren’t for growing, though, as they are the game’s replication of a real-life stock market. You buy the vegetables from Daisy-Mae at one price and then hope to sell them off to the Nook nephews for profit each day before another Sunday.
Mind you, Turnips barely last a week and will rot if you’re unable to sell them all off before a new Sunday approaches. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to get some and make the most of them.
Where to Get Turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Daisy-Mae visits your island every Sunday from 4:00 to 12:00, so watch out for this timeframe to get turnips from her. The following steps will guide you:
Locate Daisy-Mae and Speak to Her
There’s no exact location to look for the vendor, Daisy. But she’ll typically wander around your island with turnips tied to her head. Once you locate her and initiate a conversation, she’ll ask if you want to buy turnips while letting you in on their purchase price.
Select the Quantity You Want to Buy
Choose “I’ll buy some“ and enter the number of turnips you want to buy, which are available in stacks. Daisy will also allow you to buy the max, depending on how many turnips you can afford or carry.
Confirm the Purchase
Select “Yeah, I’ll buy them” to complete the purchase. Don’t worry; you can always come back to find Daisy here if you can’t carry as many turnips as you need at once.
Quick Tips: The prices for turnips range between 90-110, so you might want to acquire more if you discern that the prices are lower with higher profit potential. Also, since New Horizons sync in real-time, you’ll have to wait till an actual Sunday to get new turnips from Daisy-Mae. However, you can use the workaround of setting your Nintendo Switch’s system clock forward to fasten things up.
How to Store Turnips
Turnips differ from other items in the game and, as a result, cannot be stored in your home inventory due to space. The best way to store them is to drop them on the floor in your house and sell them off gradually. Remember, they’ll rot in a week, so you might want to factor in the possibility of losing money on them. Only store as many as you’ll be able to sell.

How to Sell Turnips
Your best shot at selling your turnips and making a profit is to go to the Nook’s Cranny. Unfortunately, they take a little break on Sundays and will not buy any turnips on that day.
Depending on some randomized factors, turnips’ prices at the Nook’s Cranny will differ each day from Monday to Saturday. They can be as low as 10 Bells and rarely as high as 900 Bells.
You can check daily to see what price gives you enough profit and then sell your turnips off.
Final Notes
There you have it! Now you can buy and sell turnips at will on your island, maximizing your profits when the purchase-to-sale margins are reasonable. You can also sell turnips at your friends’ islands if their Nook’s Cranny offers better prices. Ask your friend for a Dodo code to visit.
