๐Ÿ’ง Well

The Well is a simple farm building in Stardew Valley that provides an unlimited water source for your watering can. It is especially useful in the early game before sprinklers or other automated irrigation systems are available. While not essential later on, it can still serve as a convenient decorative feature or backup water source.

๐Ÿ›  Construction

  • Build Cost: 1,000g
  • Materials: None
  • Build Time: 2 days
  • Builder: Robin (Carpenter’s Shop)

๐Ÿ“ฆ Function

  • Provides an infinite water source for refilling the watering can.

  • Speeds up early farming by reducing trips to rivers, ponds, or lakes.
  • Adds decorative variety to the farm layout.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy

Pro Tip: Place Wells near your main crop fields in the early game — it saves a lot of time before sprinklers are available.
  • Skip building multiple wells if you plan to automate irrigation with sprinklers.
  • Useful on maps with fewer natural water sources (e.g., Hill-top Farm, Wilderness Farm).
  • Consider leaving at least one Well on your farm for aesthetics and emergencies.
