Fruit bats leave various fruit in the Cave on your farm. This is a great option for making [[Artisan Goods]] as it gives you a slow but steady supply of [[Fruits|fruit]] even out of season. It also helps complete the {{Bundle|Artisan|16|y}} in the first year or two, before you have enough money to buy all the necessary [[Fruit Trees]]. [[Fruit Trees|Fruit Tree]] fruit make excellent gifts for villagers because they are universal likes, readily accessible early in the game, and do not require a [[Cooking|kitchen]]. Gifting may be the best late-game use for fruit, other than making [[Artisan Goods]], [[Shipping]] them, finishing the [[Bundles]], or eating them for extra energy (even though they don't replenish very much health). | Fruit bats leave various fruit in the Cave on your farm.
