🌳 Forest Farm

The Forest Farm is a lush and wooded farm map in Stardew Valley. It blends standard farming space with renewable hardwood stumps, unique forageables, and multiple fishing ponds. While it has less open farmland compared to the Standard Farm, it offers excellent opportunities for foraging, resource collection, and a balanced playstyle.

📐 Layout

• Wooded layout with clearings for farming and animal buildings.
• Contains 8 large stumps that respawn daily for renewable hardwood.
• Several small ponds suitable for fishing and Crab Pots.
• Tillable land: about 1,413 tiles (significantly less than Standard Farm).

🌟 Features

• Renewable hardwood from stumps — a major advantage for building upgrades.
• Unique forageables appear, such as seasonal wild items that spawn daily.
• Fishing ponds provide access to basic freshwater species.
• Visually distinctive forest aesthetic.

✅ Advantages

• Daily renewable hardwood supply.
• Additional seasonal forageables without leaving the farm.
• Multiple water bodies for fishing and Crab Pots.
• Great balance between farming, foraging, and fishing.

⚠ Drawbacks

• Less tillable land than Standard Farm.
• Irregular layout makes sprinkler placement more difficult.
• Not ideal for players who want maximum crop efficiency.

💡 Strategy

• Harvest the stumps daily — hardwood is crucial for late-game buildings like the Stable and House upgrades.
• Use ponds for Crab Pots to supplement income and resources.
• Focus on high-value crops instead of large fields to make the most of limited farmland.
• Leverage the extra forageables for gifting, bundles, and cooking.
