In this guide, you will learn how to make Hay while playing Stardew Valley.
Hay is one of the best food sources for animals in the game. Players need to keep stock of it so their cattle will not starve. Some shops sell Hay, but there is a cheaper solution to mass produce it.
How to Collect Hay in Stardew Valley
There are mainly two ways of obtaining Hay in Stardew Valley.
- Buy Hay from the Marnie or Desert Trader.
- Collect Hay using a Scythe and store them in the Silo.
The second method is lengthier but is far more beneficial in the long run. As your farm grows, more animals get added to it, increasing the demand for more and more Hay.
The three items you need for producing Hay in Stardew Valley are Scythe, Silo, and grass.
Scythe is one of the starter tools. You can use it for cutting grass, removing weeds, and damaging monsters. As for the grass, it is also very common and can be found throughout the Stardew Valley. The best part about this item is that it regrows after some time, so you’ll never be short of it.
A Silo stores your collection of Hay, but you’ll need to construct it.
- You need to visit the local carpenter Robin in Carpenter’s Shop to build Silo. The Shop is open between 9 am to 5 pm except for Tuesdays.
- Select “Construct Farm Buildings“.
- Now, use the arrows to scroll through the structure and select Silo. The Silo costs 100g, 100 Stone, 10 Clay, and 5 Copper Bars in Stardew Valley and can store up to 240 Hay.
- Place the order and select the location where you want to place the Silo.
- It will take some time to build, so wait for a few days.
- Once it is done, use your Scythe to cut the grass and Hay will automatically store in your Silo.
