Sugarcane is essential for gameplay in Animal Crossing, as you need sugar to complete cooking recipes. You can obtain sugarcane by buying it from Leif’s Stall on Harv’s Island or by finding it on other islands. His shop refreshes every week, so if you don’t find sugarcane one week, check back the next. If you’re lucky, you may also find sugarcane growing on one of the islands Kapp’n takes you to. This sugarcane will be ready to harvest, so you can simply take it home to make sugar by processing it at a sugar mill.
Buying Sugarcane from Leif’s Stall
You can get sugarcane from Leif’s Stall on Harv’s Island, and his shop refreshes every week, so if you can’t find sugarcane in his shop, check again after a week or so once the shop resets, and depending on your luck, you may discover sugarcane.
Sugarcane on Other Islands
If you’re lucky enough, you may find some sugarcane growing on one of the islands Kapp’n takes you to. This sugarcane will be ready to be harvested, so you can simply take it home to make sugar.
