How to get Blue Grass Starters in Stardew Valley

The Meadowlands Farm was added to Stardew Valley as part of 𝓀the 1.6 update that has just finally arrived on consoles and mobile. It’s incredibly useful, increasing the speed at which animals gain hearts, but the supply is limited. 

When you first start a new game using the Meadowlands Farm, you’ll have a lot of Blue Grass around for your animals to munch on. However, it rapidly disappears as the animals get to eat, and you’ll eventually end up with no🐎t much left, or worse, none at all𒆙. 

There are some techniques to preserve Blue Grass, such as placing a fence post on top of a patch to prevent your animals from getting to it, but growth can be frustratingly slow. This is worsened in the winter, as Blue Grass ✃doesn’t grow or spread during the season.

How to make Blue Grass Starters in Stardew Valley

When y🃏ou’ve worked your way through all of the tasks listed above and purchased the Blue Grass Starter recipe, you’ll need th൩e following ingredients to make it. Each craft will produce 1 Blue Grass Starter.

25 Fiber

Fiber is a resource that can be found in a variety of ways. ✤Each weed has a 50% chance to drop Fiber when harvested, which is the only free way to get Fiber.

There are also a couple of ways to get Fiber in exchange for other items. At the Desert Festival, ♑if Vincent has a stall, he wilꩵl exchange 1 Calico Egg for 10 Fiber. The Desert Trader will also exchange 5 Stone for 1 Fiber on Tuesdays.

If you’re willing to put some work in, you can learn the recipe for Fiber Seeds by completing Linus’ “Community Cleanup” Special Order. It requires the following resources, and makes 4 Fiber Seeds per craft:

• 1 Mixed Seeds
• 5 Sap
• 1 Clay

10 Moss

Moss can be harvested in Spring, Summer, and Fall from any tree that has green growth on the trunk. You can harvest it with any tool, weapon, or 🧜bomb. Each tree drops either one or two Moss.

On Green Rain Days, which occur during Summer, the amount of Moss will significantly increase and can be hoarded away for fu♌ture use.

1 Mystic Syrup

Mystic Syrup is likely to give you the biggest challenge of the three ingredients needed to make Blue Grass Starters, as it is only obtainable after you’ve obtained your Foraging Mastery and unlocked the Mystic Tree Seed recipe, which needs the fol🍎lowing resources to make:

• 5 Acorn
• 5 Maple Seed
• 5 Pine Cone
• 5 Mahogany Seed

After planting, a Mystic Tree can take anywhere between five and 26 days to reach maturity, depending on luck and whether you’ve used fertilizers. Then, when a Tapper is placed on a fully grown Mystic Tree, it will produce Mystic Syrup once every seven days.
