There are many resources that you can grow or produce on your farm. However, some vegetables, such as Fiddlehead Fern, can only be found in the wild in Stardew Valley. Even though this is a vegetable, it belongs to foraged items. Therefore, to obtain it, you have to explore the depths of Mines and Skull Cavern. But if you are lucky, you may be able to find this vegetable in the Forest.
Where To Find Fiddlehead Fern
As we said, Fiddlehead Fern is a foraged item in Stardew Valley. Actually, it is the only vegetable in the game that is classified as such an item. That is why, it can only be found in certain locations in the game:
- Secret Woods – This is the easiest way as you will unlock this area quite early in the game. Just look around during the Summer season, and you will find a Fiddlehead Fern.
- Traveling Cart – From time to time, this vegetable appears in the merchant’s assortment. But be prepared to pay between 270 and 1,000 Gold per piece.
- Ginger Island – Visit the eastern part of the island which is covered in dark jungle. Regardless of the season, Fiddlehead Fern can grow here.
- The Mines – As you clear levels 41 to 69 here, you’ll occasionally find the coveted Fiddlehead Fern. However, for this vegetable to start spawning, you have to activate the Shrine of Challenge.
- Skull Cavern – Reach the Prehistoric floors, and you will be able to forage Fiddlehead Fern in Stardew Valley.
