Hey there! If you’re trying to take your farming to the next level in Coral Island, making artisanal goods is the way to go. Coral Island is an awesome farming simulation game where you get to rebuild a tropical island paradise. You can grow crops, raise animals, mine for resources, and restore the island’s environment while making friends with its quirky villagers. There’s so much to do, but one of the best ways to make money and have fun is by creating artisanal goods like wine, cheese, jam, and honey. These items sell for way more than raw materials and are super useful for gifts, quests, and festivals.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know to become a pro at making artisanal goods!
What Are Artisanal Goods and Why Should You Care?
Artisanal goods are high value items made by processing raw materials like crops, fruits, and animal products. Here’s why they’re awesome:
- Higher Profits: A bottle of wine or block of cheese sells for way more than grapes or milk.
- Better Gifts: Many characters on the island love receiving artisanal goods.
- Quests and Community Center: You’ll need these items for special quests and bundles that help restore the island.
Some examples of artisanal goods and what you need to make them:
- Cheese: Made from milk.
- Wine: Made from grapes or other fruits.
- Honey: Produced by bees near flowers.
- Pickles or Jam: Made from vegetables or fruits.
- Oil: Made from seeds or nuts.
How to Unlock the Machines
To make artisanal goods, you need processing machines. Most machines are unlocked through farming or crafting progression, so keep leveling up your farming skills! Here are some must-have machines and how to get them:
- Cheese Press:
- Unlocks early after keeping cows and goats.
- Requires wood, stone, and bronze bars to craft.
- Use it to turn milk into cheese.
- Keg:
- Unlocks as you level up farming and crafting skills.
- Requires wood, bronze bars, and silver bars to craft.
- Use it to make wine, juice, or beer from crops and fruits.
- Mason Jar:
- Unlocked early in the game after farming a bit.
- Requires wood and stone to craft.
- Turns fruits into jam and veggies into pickles.
- Bee House:

- Needs wood, stone, and bronze ore to craft.
- Produces honey, which can be flavored by planting flowers nearby.
- Oil Press:

- Needs hardwood and bronze ore.
- Converts seeds or nuts into cooking oil.
Gather the Right Materials
To keep your machines working, you need a steady supply of raw materials. Here’s what to focus on:
- Crops: Plant lots of fruits and vegetables for making wine, jam, and pickles. Grapes, strawberries, and tomatoes are great choices.
- Animals: Keep cows, goats, and chickens happy to get milk and eggs.
- Flowers: Plant flowers near bee houses to make flavored honey (like tulip honey or sunflower honey).
- Nuts and Seeds: Harvest these for oil production.
Make sure to plant your crops in the right season and use fertilizer to boost quality. Better-quality crops make better goods!
Build a Production Zone
Once you’ve crafted or bought your machines, organize them on your farm. Here’s how to make an efficient setup:
- Place all your Cheese Presses, Kegs, Mason Jars and Oil Presses in one area.
- Build paths around them so you can move easily.
- Use chests nearby to store raw materials like milk, fruits, and veggies.
- Upgrade your machines if possible to make them work faster.
Having a neat production area saves you time and keeps everything organized.
Selling and Using Your Goods
Once your artisanal goods are ready, you can sell them for big profits or use them in other ways:
- Sell for Money: Use the shipping bin to sell them overnight. Artisanal goods can earn you hundreds or even thousands of coins, depending on their quality.
- Give as Gifts: Many villagers love artisanal goods. Wine, jam, and honey make great gifts for building relationships.
- Complete Quests: Some characters and storylines will ask for artisanal goods, so keep extras handy.
- Keep for Energy: Certain items like juice or wine can refill your stamina, which is super helpful when farming or mining.

- Focus on High-Value Crops: Crops like grapes, strawberries, and pumpkins are perfect for artisanal goods.
- Use Fertilizer: Higher quality crops lead to higher-quality goods, which sell for more.
- Unlock Farming Skills: As you level up farming, choose perks that increase the sale price of artisanal goods.
- Seasonal Planning: Grow crops that match the season to ensure a steady supply of raw materials.
Bonus Tips
