The selection area for maps at character creation.

There are eight different Farm Maps to choose from in Stardew Valley. Each map features a unique layout of the Farm, offering different benefits and favoring specific skills. Only one map can be chosen when starting a new game, and cannot be changed once selected.

The Standard Farm offers the most space to plant crops and raise animals. The other seven farms lack farming area, but offer special perks in comparison:

The Riverland Farm encourages Fishing.
The Forest Farm encourages Foraging.
The Hill-top Farm encourages Mining.
The Wilderness Farm encourages Combat (but only gives 1/3 Combat experience for it).
The Four Corners Farm offers perks from other maps and encourages Multiplayer.
The Beach Farm offers extra items and encourages Fishing and Foraging, but discourages Farming late game.
The Meadowlands Farm encourages Farming, specifically raising animals, and comes with two chickens by default.

The interior of the farmhouse is decorated to match the theme of the chosen map. This includes furniture, wallpaper and flooring. The exterior of the house is the same regardless of map choice.

There is an abandoned building on all maps which can later be turned into the Greenhouse. Once repaired, it can be moved by visiting the Carpenter's Shop or Wizard's Tower.

Map Types

Name Map Description Associated Skill

Standard Farm
  • The majority of this map is farming land, ideal for crops and animals.
  • The biggest contiguous (tillable) rectangular area is 63 x 31 (1953) tiles.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 3427, with 235 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
 Farming

Riverland Farm
  • Water significantly decreases the overall farming area.
  • Players start with a Fish Smoker.
  • Fishing is viable on this farm:[1]
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 1578, with 516 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
  • 6 bushes can be chopped down with an upgraded Axe (copper or better).
 Fishing

Forest Farm 		Foraging

Hill-top Farm
  • The southwest hill-top spawns Stones, Ore nodes, and Geode nodes depending on the player's Mining level.
  • Each day the farm attempts to spawn several nodes. The first node has a 100% chance to spawn, and each subsequent node has 75% the chance of the last. Once one node fails that chance to spawn, no more spawn attempts are made that day. In a cleared quarry, an average of 2.4 nodes will spawn per day. For each attempt, if there is something already on the selected tile, nothing spawns. Otherwise:[3]
    • See the Quarry Spawn Rates table below.
    • There is always a 15% chance to spawn an artifact spot.
    • There is a chance to spawn one of the three geode nodes (Geode, Frozen Geode, Magma Geode). The geode node spawned is affected by the player's Mining level:
      • If the player's Mining level is below 5, a Geode Node will always be spawned. If the player's Mining level is between 5 and 7 inclusive, there is an equal chance of spawning a Geode or Frozen Geode Node. If the player's Mining level is at least 8, there is an equal chance of spawning each.
    • There is always a chance to spawn a Copper node.
    • If the player has at least Mining level 4, there is a chance to spawn an Iron node.
    • If the player has at least Mining level 7, there is a chance to spawn a Gold node.
    • If the player has at least Mining level 10, there is a chance to spawn an Iridium node.
    • Otherwise, a Stone node is spawned.
  • The mining area may sometimes be blocked by a Large Stump, a Large Log, or a Boulder, making it impossible to enter until the player has upgraded their Axe or Pickaxe to steel to be able to break it.
  • Additional cliffs and a stream decrease the overall farming area.
  • 2 bushes can be chopped down with an upgraded Axe (copper or better).
  • When fishing:[1]
    • 50% of the time, players will catch forest river fish, i.e., fish that are found in the Cindersap Forest river.
    • 50% of the time, players will catch only trash.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 1648, with 930 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
 Mining

Wilderness Farm
  • Monsters spawn at night (scales with the player's Combat level).
  • When fishing:[1]
    • 35% of the time, players will catch lake fish, i.e., fish that are found in The Mountain lake.
    • 65% of the time, players will catch only trash.
  • Additional cliffs and ponds decrease the overall farming area.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 2131, with 444 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
 Combat

Four Corners Farm
  • The farming area is split by cliffs into four distinct areas, each reminiscent of some of the other Farm Maps.
  • Top left: Forest Farm. This quadrant has a small grassy area containing a Large Stump, and weeds here can transform into the unique ones that always drop mixed seeds, the same as on the Forest Farm.
  • Top right: Standard Farm. This quadrant has the most farming space.
  • Bottom left: This quadrant has a pond. Players have a 50% chance of catching forest river fish, i.e., fish that are found in the Cindersap Forest river.[1]
  • Bottom right: Hill-top Farm. This quadrant contains a small quarry that spawns Rocks and Ore and Geode nodes depending on the player's Mining level.[3]
  • Additional cliffs and ponds decrease the overall farming area.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 2952, with 562 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
 Multiplayer

Beach Farm
  • Good foraging and fishing, and a lot of open space. Sometimes, supply crates wash up on shore.
  • Both forest and beach foragables may spawn. Season-specific beach foragables can spawn year-round.
  • Sprinklers don't work in the sandy soil.
    • There is a contiguous patch of 202 non-sandy tiles (10x20 plus 2) where sprinklers can be placed. Utilizing this area completely requires clearing the trees and large logs (with a steel axe or better). There are 28 additional non-sandy tiles scattered around the map (mostly around ponds) which may also benefit from sprinklers.
    • Intended for "seasoned players", not as a first farm. A typical strategy of increasing crop fields and crafting large quantities of quality sprinklers won't work on this farm.
    • Large open areas can be used to build Barns, Coops, Fish Ponds, or Sheds. Grass can grow on sandy soil.
  • There are several bushes on this map, with multiple able to yield berries. 15 bushes can be chopped down with an upgraded Axe (copper or better).
  • When fishing:[1]
    • 15% of the time, players will catch Seaweed.
    • 5.1% of the time, players will catch one of Oyster, Coral, Mussel or Cockle. Chances for each item are equal.
    • 52.73% of the time, players will catch ocean fish, i.e., fish that are found in The Beach.
    • 27.17% of the time, players will catch trash.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 2700, with 1928 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
 Foraging
Fishing

Meadowlands Farm
  • Has a chewy blue grass that animals love.
  • Players start with a Coop and two chickens. The chickens are randomly named.
  • Instead of receiving 15 Parsnip Seeds from Mayor Lewis, the player instead receives 15 pieces of Hay from an unknown source.
  • When fishing from the river or a large pond:[1]
    • 40% of the time, players will catch forest pond fish, i.e., fish that are found in the Cindersap Forest pond.
    • 60% of the time, players will catch trash.
  • The number of tillable tiles on this map is 2066, with about 2141 non-tillable but buildable tiles.
