Between day 8 and 11 of Fall every year, Blackberry season comes to Stardew Valley, meaning you can forage a frankly huge number of Blackberries from the bushes in Pelican Town and the surrounding area. Linus is a fan of Blackberries, so it stands to reas🐷on that he would make use of this free source of food. Sadly, he’ওs lost his basket and he needs your help to find it. 

In order to find Linus’ basket💮, you’ll need to head to one very specific location. If you’re currently going through your first playthrough, you’ll likely not know that you can actually access this are🐼a of the map.

Once you’ve received a letter from Linus on the first day of Blackberry Season, so that’s Fall 8, you’ll need to head out in search of his basket. It doesn’t matter what friendship level you’re at with Linus, this letter will arrive regardless🌳. 

Linus’ basket can be found by heading to the Bus Stop, onto the road and then headin♏g left as though you’re walking off-screen. When the small new area loads, you’ll find the basket on the top grassy area of the road, right next to the entrance to the tunnel. 

Once you’ve pick🎉ed it up, you’ll need to find Linus.
