The Beanstalk expansion in Grow a Garden introduced more than just climbing into the clouds. Along the way, players now have the chance to build a bond with the Goliath (the Giant), unlocking a brand-new Friendship Shop filled with unique rewards. If you’re wondering how to access it, what it sells, and which items are worth your Sheckles, this guide covers everything.
How to Unlock the Friendship Shop
Before you can access the Friendship Shop, you’ll need to first grow the beanstalk and reach the Giant at the top. Once there, interact with him by pressing E and selecting the “What are you selling?” option to open Goliath’s Goods.
At first, only the regular Beanstalk Shop will be available. To unlock the Friendship tab, you must feed the Giant food items. The higher the food rarity, the more friendship points you’ll gain. Here’s the breakdown:
- Transcended – 9 Points
- Prismatic – 8 Points
- Divine – 7 Points
- Mythical – 6 Points
- Legendary – 5 Points
- Rare – 4 Points
- Uncommon – 3 Points
- Common – 2 Points
As your friendship meter fills, new shop levels unlock, giving access to better items.
Friendship Levels & Points Required
Each friendship level requires a certain number of points. Here’s the progression:
- Level 1 – 20 Points
- Level 2 – 30 Points
- Level 3 – 40 Points
- Level 4 – 50 Points
- Level 5 – 60 Points
- Level 6 – 70 Points
- Level 7 – 80 Points
All Items in the Friendship Shop
Once unlocked, the Friendship Shop gives you access to exclusive items. Here’s the full list:
- Skyroot Chest 1,500,000 Friend Level 1
- Griffin Statue 15,000,000 Friend Level 1
- Bouncy Mushroom 10,500,000 Friend Level 1

Remember, you can restock both the normal shop and the Friendship Shop by pressing the Restock button in the menu.
Best Items to Buy First
Not everything in the shop is equally useful. Since Sheckles can be hard to farm, here are the most valuable items to prioritize:
- Gnome Pet – Grants access to the Gnomed mutation, which increases the chance for random fruit to mutate every 9 minutes and 58 seconds. The effect stacks with multiple Gnome cosmetics.
- GiantBean Pet Shard – Gives pets the Giant Bean mutation, making them massive with 15% more hunger but boosting XP gain by +50 per second.
- Skyroot Chest – A great choice for collectors since it contains exclusive seeds and pets from the Beanstalk expansion.
The Friendship Shop is one of the best additions to Grow a Garden, rewarding players who invest time into cooking and feeding the Giant. Unlocking higher friendship levels takes patience, but the rewards—like the Gnome Pet and GiantBean mutation—make it worth the grind. Which Friendship Shop item are you planning to buy first?
