Forest Farm layout in Stardew Valley

Forest Farm in Stardew Valley has the least amount of space available, with just 1413 tillable tiles for crops but offers you an impressive amount of area to build. However, the farming area isn’t spread far apart and has four small ponds, towards the center and right side, to fill up your water can.

The non-tillable areas are covered with grass, and you can walk as well as build on such spots. Additionally, there are two patches of four hardwood stumps that you can farm every day on the Western and Southwestern sides of the farm.

Foraging items in Forest Farm

The Forest Farm will encourage your love for foraging and harvesting things in the wilderness. It also offers bushes that always drop mixed seeds when you cut them, being exclusive to this type of farm in Stardew Valley.

Apart from the hardwood stumps that regenerate every morning, you can also find forageables spawning across different areas on your farm, which is again an exclusive feature.

Here are all the things that you can find (25% chance of spawning) across the four seasons:

• Spring: Dandelion, Leek, Morel, Wild Horseradish
• Summer: Spice Berry, Common Mushroom, Grape, Sweet Pea
• Fall: Chanterelle, Common Mushroom, Purple Mushroom, Red Mushroom
• Winter: No spawns

Fishing

With four ponds in the Forest Farm, you can try your luck in catching fish for a profit. You will have a 35% chance of catching a fish and a 65% chance of reeling in trash. It’s also worth noting that there’s a 5% chance of you catching the elusive Woodskip, that can help you in various recipes and completing the Community Center bundle.

Considering you will mostly end up catching trash, it’s worth setting up Crab Pots on the shores of the ponds to save yourself the trouble. However, remember to put bait inside the Crab Pots once you empty them the next day.
