If you’ve been spending time in Grow a Garden, you probably know that Badlands is one of the trickiest zones when it comes to farming rare crops, especially the elusive peppers. After countless runs and route optimizations, I’ve compiled a farming guide that focuses on efficiency, spawn rates, and overall yield.
Understanding Badlands Pepper Spawns
Badlands peppers have a slightly lower spawn rate compared to standard crops, which makes choosing the right route crucial. From my experience, the best approach is to prioritize areas where clusters of pepper plants naturally appear. This means planning your route to hit high-density zones first and looping back through secondary spawn points to maximize efficiency.
Recommended Farming Routes
-
Northern Ridge Loop: Start at the northern ridge of Badlands and work your way down to the cliffs. This area consistently spawns a cluster of peppers around the rock formations. Make sure to clear any weeds or obstacles that might slow you down.
-
Central Plateau Sweep: After finishing the northern loop, drop down to the central plateau. Here, the peppers often appear near the dry riverbeds. Running a zigzag pattern through this plateau ensures you cover every potential spawn point without backtracking unnecessarily.
-
Southern Canyon Finale: Finish your run in the southern canyon, where smaller clusters appear sporadically. This final leg may not yield as many peppers, but it guarantees that you don’t miss any rare spawns that appeared while clearing the previous zones.
By following these three legs, you can consistently gather enough Badlands peppers to sustain your garden without excessive grinding. Timing your runs with in-game events that increase spawn rates can further boost efficiency.
Extra Tips
-
Bringing a pet that can speed up harvesting is a huge help. Many players choose to buy grow a garden pets to optimize their runs. If you’re on a budget, there are always options for cheap grow a garden pets for sale that still provide solid bonuses.

Occasionally, checking third-party marketplaces like U4GM can help you acquire rare items or pets that enhance your farming efficiency.
Farming Badlands peppers may seem daunting at first, but with a structured route and the right companions, it becomes a highly manageable task. Once you’ve mastered these runs, you’ll find that maintaining a steady supply of peppers is not only possible but surprisingly enjoyable.
