🫐 Blackberry

Blackberry is a forageable fruit in Stardew Valley. It can be found growing on bushes throughout Fall during the Blackberry Season event (Fall 8–11). Blackberry Seeds cannot be purchased — instead, players collect them from the wild. Blackberries can also be harvested from Blackberry Bushes around the valley and occasionally dropped by Dust Sprites in the Mines.

While low in sell price compared to farmed fruits, Blackberries are abundant and a convenient early-game food source thanks to their good energy and health restoration.

🌱 Foraging & Season

Blackberries can be collected during Fall 8–11 from berry bushes scattered around Pelican Town, Cindersap Forest, and other areas. Each bush can be harvested once per day during the season, often yielding multiple Blackberries if the player has higher Foraging levels.

• Found on bushes during Fall 8–11
• Drop from Dust Sprites in Mines (rare)
• Can be grown on the farm if acquired via Special Orders (Late-game)
• Foraging skill increases yields from bushes

💰 Profitability

Processing Blackberries into Artisan Goods increases their value substantially (Wine: 60g, Jelly: 50g base).

🍳 Uses

Blackberries are used in multiple ways:

• Processing: Blackberry Wine (60g base) or Blackberry Jelly (50g)
• Cooking: Used in several recipes, including Blackberry Cobbler
• Bundles: Required in the Fall Foraging Bundle (Crafts Room)

💡 Tips & Strategies

• Harvest every bush daily during Blackberry Season to maximize yields.
• Pair with the Forager profession for extra drops.
• Keep some for the Fall Foraging Bundle and Blackberry Cobbler recipe.
• Excess can be processed into Jelly or Wine for small profits.
