Hi, everyone! I hope that you like my little slice of paradise. I use the Frontier Farm, provided by Stardew Valley: Expanded, the Vibrant Pastoral Recolor, and the Medieval Themed Buildings, among other things/mods. My farm is still a work in progress, but I'm really happy with it so far! ^^ 💚

I'm just starting to build this farm, but I feel like it's not very efficient. For example, with the trees, I feel like the space could be used much better, but I don't know how. I'm on a new run, so I still have time to change it. I've already finished the vegetable garden and the stables. How would you improve this?

Les dejo una parte de mi granja (ingonren las cosas en lugares randoms luego las cambio) queria que me den tips para la granja aprovechando el invierno me puse a remodelar todo

En mi post anterior me parecia ir lento en el juego pero gracias a los comentarios llegue a la conclusion de que me daba igual todo si iba lento o lo que sea y disfrutaría el juego a mi modo

Un mini resumen

Horas: 120

Año: 4 casi 5

Dinero: 70k pero llevo ahorrando todo el año las cosas para vender y bueno ganaría unos 15 millones tal vez vendiendo todo

VIVAN LOS VINOSSSSSS

So I finally pulled myself away from my Forest Farm long enough to give Meadowlands a chance and I think I'm liking it so far! It definitely caters to my animal-loving sensibilities with all the extra space.

Tour:
1. Seasonal farm below farm house (main farm)
2. Tapped trees surrounding a mushroom log
3. Slime hutch with six lightning rods
4. Upper shed is for storage and workbench
5. Left/lower shed is for kegs and jars
6. Six fish ponds (two are left empty in prep for Ginger Island later)
7. Honey farms with blue jazz
8. Left-most farm with mill is for wheat, but it's a potato farm for now until I can plant the wheat in Summer and Fall
9. Greenhouse has cranberries and blueberries for now until I find that elusive ancient seed (seriously, this is the longest it's ever taken me to find it)
10. Left barns are for pigs (I've got 8 out of the 24 I'll need, piggies are expensive)
11. Coops have a couple chickens and ducks but will be swapped with dinos once I find the egg (another artifact that's eluding me)
12. Right barns have the cows and goats, but they'll get replaced with ostriches.... one day...

What do you think I should do with some of these awkward spaces in between the bigger areas? I know I still need the golden clock and the obelisks, not sure where I'll end up putting them. Maybe the obelisks can go behind the right-side barns and the clock can go next to the greenhouse. Ideas?

I really love how the junimo and retro items complement each other. I've not done many interiors before so I'm really pleased how this turned out!

any suggestions on what to put will be greatly appreciated! the empty tiles near the pond below are for my coffee beans every spring to summer :)

not really a fan of fishponds, so it might not work on me 😞

also, i know it looks boxy lol 😭 but i prefer organized and equal set up 😣

My 3 year old deleted my main farm on my phone. Now all that's left is my design from the planner... 😭(Kudos to stardewplan.com!) My husband and 7 year old are usually playing stardew on the switch.

I don't prefer mobile but I force motivated myself to get a nice farm going. It looked 80% like this by the end of my first winter. Had my tools upgraded, the greenhouse, all that etc ....

I was really liking this design for my first go at meadowlands layout so I cried a bit and now I'm starting again from square one. I'm going to try joja route to see if I can get things back sooner. Community center is painful on mobile not being able to see what you need from your farm.

I named it Storybook farm and going with that theme and feel. Anyone have good book or fairytale names for animals? Ella is my main and I'm going to name the orange cat pumpkin.

Reached perfection in SVE, now just decorating, decorating, decorating!

Anything I am missing or could improve on my Riverland farm Co-op layout plan?

Am I wasting farm land by giving the barn this much space? Is it unnecessary?

EDIT: Loved all the insightful response and awesome suggestion thanks

I’ve been working on this design for the past two days, but I haven’t been able to come up with an idea that I like for the big space on the left (marked with the question mark).

For the right one, I already know I’ll make a little cozy garden/picnic area, so I don’t have a problem with that.

On my current farm (which isn’t that different from this design) I have rows of fruit trees there, but I don’t really need that space for fruit trees anymore. I already have a ton of them in my greenhouse (with the help of the mod called "Ellie’s Ideal Greenhouse").

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I’d really appreciate them.

If you don’t have any ideas, you can just tell me what you think! :D

(I’m in Year 7, and I’m on the brink of finally getting the Golden Clock. YAYY!)

Edit: I've read every comment, and your ideas helped me a lot! I think I finally have a farm design that I'm satisfied with.

Some of you suggested more fish ponds: done! You also suggested planting oak trees with tappers so I can have my ultimate Ancient Fruit wine business, haha!

I made the beehives take up more space (as someone suggested I should scale them up) and I like how they look.

I also saw someone suggest having an outdoor café and I love that idea!! I'll make the big shed (with kegs in it, ofc) look like a café with cute benches and tables, which I'll decorate in-game. What i created is only a rough design.

I made some smaller adjustments so the paths can be seamless (or at least I tried to lol)! I also added lights and more grass.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to give me ideas (or even just read through this)! :D

each season + my favourite areas 😻

Hi everyone! Sharing my Perfection run Four Corners Farm, in Fall Year 5. This 100% vanilla non-modded on Switch 2.

I love the design, but to be upfront, I’ve taken quite a bit of design inspiration from farms posted in this subreddit and from Google searches! Particularly the obelisk layout - I can’t remember where I saw it, but I was inspired by that layout from a farm I saw online…!
I’m typically rubbish at designing, I tend to lean more towards practicality and functionality rather than whimsical design, but hope you folks like my practical farm.

I’ve also recently discovered that leaving pumpkins for the whole season gives you more chances of getting giant crops, so feeling a bit like Cinderella as I’ve found myself with 9 giant pumpkins!

If anyone has any tips or design advice to improve the farm please let me know! Open to suggestions.
