The Can of Beans adds a whimsical twist to Grow a Garden, offering players a quick (if costly) way to leap past challenges and reach new heights. Whether you see it as a must-have tool or just a collectible, it’s another creative addition that makes the Beanstalk event worth exploring.

What Is the Can of Beans?

The Can of Beans is a special gear item tied to the new Beanstalk event in Grow a Garden. Unlike regular shop items, it’s locked behind progression and requires both skill and patience to acquire. Once unlocked, it gives your character a massive jump boost—perfect for climbing to hard-to-reach spots or harvesting crops at dizzying heights.

How to Acquire the Can of Beans

Getting this high-flying item isn’t as simple as opening a shop menu. Here’s the full breakdown:

  1. Grow the Beanstalk – Start at the map’s center and hand over the required plants to Jack. This makes the beanstalk sprout, opening a new path into the sky.
  2. Climb to the Top – The beanstalk is actually an obby (obstacle course). You’ll need to carefully platform your way up, or use the portal once it’s unlocked for quicker access.
  3. Befriend Goliath – At the top, you’ll meet Goliath, a giant NPC. To earn his trust, offer him cooked meals from the recipe system. You must reach Friendship Level 4 to unlock access to his special shop.
  4. Buy the Can of Beans – Once unlocked, you can purchase it from Goliath’s Friendship Shop for 500,000 Sheckles.

How to Use the Can of Beans

Using the Can of Beans is straightforward but comes with a big catch—it’s consumable.

  • Equip It – Select the item from your inventory so your character holds it.
  • Activate the Jump – Move near your target location and press the jump key (spacebar on PC).
  • Single Use – Each can only works once. After activating, it disappears from your inventory, so make every jump count.

Is the Can of Beans Worth It?

Spending 500,000 Sheckles on a one-time-use item is a serious investment. For players who struggle with the Beanstalk’s tricky platforming or have gardens full of tall crops, it’s a useful shortcut. But for many, there may be a smarter option.

The Bouncy Mushroom cosmetic, also available from Goliath’s Friendship Shop, provides a similar jump boost but can be placed permanently in your garden. Since it’s reusable and not consumable, it’s often seen as a better long-term solution.

That said, the Can of Beans is still a fun, unique item—great for collectors, speedrunners, or anyone who wants to add an extra bit of flair to their farming adventures.
