Stardew Valley: How To Find Snow Yams

Snow Yams are a seasonal forageable vegetable in Stardew Valley, meaning you'll only be able to find them during the winter season. Snow Yams don't just grow above the ground and make themselves obvious, though, so it's easy to have some trouble locating them. If you're in need of this winter foragable item though, though, you're in luck; there are several ways that you can reliably find them on your search.

In this guide, we'll walk you through where you can get Snow Yams in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley Snow Yam Locations

As we mentioned, Snow Yams don't pop up above the ground like vegetables and some other forageable items, so you won't just be able to spot them and pick them. You'll instead need to find Artifact Spots and try some other methods to get your hands on Snow Yams.

Dig Up Artifact Spots

The first method to getting Snow Yams is to dig up Artifact Spots. You'll need to use the Hoe to till the ground when you find an Artifact Spot. Artifact Spots have a high chance of dropping Snow Yams, so this is a fairly reliable way of finding them. This is similar to other materials like Clay.

Till Dirt Anywhere (Other Than Your Farm)

You can also try tilling dirt - as long as it isn't on your own farm - for a chance to find a Snow Yam. You have a 4% chance of finding a Snow Yam when tilling any tillable dirt outside of your farm.         

Grow Snow Yams From Seeds

The only way to get Snow Yams on your own farm without foraging them by tilling dirt or digging up Artifact Spots is to grow them from seed. To do this, you'll need to get some Winter Seeds. Winter Seeds can grow any of the four winter forageable items, so you won't necessarily get Snow Yams on your first try, but it's still more reliable than tilling the dirt.

That's it for where to get Snow Yams in Stardew Valley; they can only be found in Winter, and only at certain locations, so be sure you know it's the right time of year before you head out on your search!
