🌾 Mill
The Mill is a farm building in Stardew Valley that allows the player to process certain crops into valuable products. Built by Robin at the Carpenter’s Shop, it automatically converts Wheat, Beets, and Unmilled Rice into their processed forms, which are deposited into the Mill’s box each morning. The Mill provides a convenient and consistent way to turn raw crops into useful cooking and artisan ingredients.
