What is a way to make money quick, but without cheating, on harvest moon cute?

Digging up jewelry at the digsite and selling it to Van is pretty good money.

Foraging all of the wild plants.

Growing lots of crops.

Ok, you get up in the morning and run around town like a loony! Once you have picked everything up ship it and then go to the mine and dig stuff up. The next day do it the other way round ( That just makes it more interesting!) Try and get a routine going too, it helps you get in the swing of things.
Mine is :
Wake up, check weather, save. Milk cows pick stuff up then go to the mines and when i have run out of stamina go home and ship!!

Good luck!! =]

Dig in the mines, pickup everything thing and sell it, have a lot of sheep and turn there wool into yarn and sell it, have the harvest spirits fish for you.

my favorite way to get fast money is to grow crops. i buy about literally eight seed sacs, and then grow them all at the same time. but you’re going to need a golden watering can though, so you can hold the Y button until her face turns read, and then release the button to water all nine squares so you don’t waste much of your stamina, and also waste your time watering the darn plants.

The best way to get money is to get into the second mine.

Get down to floor 100. Every floor that either ends in a 3, 6, 9, or 0 from that point forward you have a chance to find either Alexandrite or Pink Diamonds. Both of these rare gems are worth 10,000 each shipped straight out!

OR to make even more money, sell them to Vann. He will be upstairs in the Inn on everyday ending in a 3 or an 8. He will buy items at above normal shipping prices! Whenever you try to sell something to him, he will offer a random price for it. If you cancel the deal, you can try to sell the object again for a different price. Items sold to Vann do NOT count as shipped for your shipping list!

Another way requires a little luck, and Vann. You can win medals in the Harvest Sprite Casino, you can then use those medals to buy accessories. Normally you can’t sell those accessories, but Vann will buy them from you for a large amount of money (especially the red cape!). Once you have sold the accessory, it reappears in the sprite casino. Just repeat as many times as you can stand. (PS Use Double or Nothing to get medals the fastest.)

Vann also buys small fish for 5 times the going rate!
