Stardew Valley Meadowlands Farm Map, Explained

Among many other updates in Stardew Valley's 1.6 patch is a new farm type called Meadowlands Farm, which will give players a new layout and new starting items. This new farm type puts many twists on the other Stardew Valley farm types, offering new and seasoned players a completely new experience.

Here's everything you need to know about the new Meadowlands Farm, including what you'll get when starting out and how to make the most of this setup.

What Is The Meadowlands Farm Map In Stardew Valley?

Stardew Valley's new Meadowlands Farm was added in the 1.6 update and includes a variety of unique traits. This type of farm has blue grass, which is doubly efficient compared to normal grass in leveling up your animals' friendship bars. This blue grass is there to help players out with raising animals; while many farm types in Stardew are optimal for growing crops, this one is better for raising chickens, cows, and other livestock.

Meadowlands Farm Starting Items

When choosing a Meadowlands Farm, you'll start out with:

• 2 chickens
• A coop
• 15 Hay

You won't get the 15 Parsnip Seeds you get when starting out with other farm types; the seeds are replaced with Hay instead, since this farm layout encourages you to focus on raising your livestock.

Should You Choose The Meadowlands Farm Map?

The Meadowlands Farm is a great new addition to Stardew Valley, but it's not for everyone. If you prefer to focus on farming crops and harvesting new types of vegetables, you might try going for a more conventional layout for your farm. There isn't much room on the Meadowlands farm to plant your own crops.

For those who love raising Stardew's animals, though, the Meadowlands Farm is the best farm type yet with its focus on livestock. It's also a great choice for those who have already completed the game and are looking to try out a fresh new type of farm that will require players to make some interesting decisions.
