🍄 Truffle

Truffles are a valuable artisan product that can be found underground and are produced by pigs during rainy periods. They have a base value of 1,000g and can increase significantly in value if turned into Truffle Oil using an Oil Maker. Truffles are among the most profitable items you can obtain from livestock in Stardew Valley.

Truffles cannot be sold until they are dug up from the ground, making them a unique and sought-after resource for players looking to maximize their farm’s profitability.

🌱 Production & Sources

Truffles are exclusively produced by pigs. Pigs must have access to an outside area to find truffles, and they will begin to forage for them once they reach maturity.

Production Cycle: Pigs can find truffles during any season except winter, but they are more likely to find them in rainy weather.
  • Produced by pigs with access to outside areas
  • Found during all seasons except winter
  • Higher chance on rainy days
  • Cannot be purchased – must be foraged by pigs
