Grow a Garden Trading & Cooking Update Brings Prismatic Recipes, New Pets & Gourmet Rewards

Roblox’s beloved farming simulator Grow a Garden has just leveled up with the latest Trading and Cooking Event Update, officially launched on August 2, 2025. This major patch introduces a full-fledged cooking system, a player-to-player trading mechanism, and a range of new rewards and pets, setting the stage for one of the most content-rich updates to date.

How does the Grow a Garden cooking event work?

At the heart of the update is the Chris P. Bacon Cooking Event. Players can now collect fruits and vegetables from their farms and toss them into a Cooking Pot to create dishes. Each successful recipe can be handed to Chris P., a charismatic pig NPC, to receive exclusive in-game rewards.

The type of reward depends heavily on the size and rarity of the dish, encouraging players to experiment with rare ingredients. What makes it more engaging is the cravings system—Chris P.’s preferred dish changes every hour, and matching his desire can result in higher-tier rewards.

Additionally, the update brings a Trading Ticket system. Players will need to purchase a ticket with in-game currency (Sheckles) to initiate trades, adding a new economic layer to the game.
