Did you know that you can get farm upgrades in Stardew Valley? Every renovation costs you a fortune, but they’re also worth it as they open new ways for you to make money. Here’s everything you need to know about these upgrades!
Farm upgrades are significant in Stardew Valley, especially if you plan to expand your business. Additionally, don’t forget to save a hefty amount of gold since we’re not kidding when we say their prices are no joke. They’ll cost you a vast in-game fortune!
Nonetheless, these new farm buildings eventually give you more income as you learn about their function and importance in-game. Here we made a walkthrough for all Stardew Valley farm upgrades!
How to Get Stardew Valley Farm Upgrades?
Getting farm upgrades call for Robin’s services. She’s Pelican Town’s carpenter, and you’ll find her shop in the mountains; head north of town to get there. Before redoing your space, you must visit her and learn about the materials and gold you need.
After successfully meeting these requirements, you can now acquire the house upgrade or farm building. It takes three days to construct them while enhancing these premises consume two days (except for house upgrades).
Farmhouse Upgrades
During your beginner era in Stardew Valley, you only have a cramped farmhouse containing a single bed, table, TV, and fireplace. It’s a decent space for an individual, but if you plan to get married and extend your business, this small farmhouse won’t do.
Each enhancement expands your farmhouse’s interiors. It also adds a few alterations to its facade. After getting enough supplies, here are the features you should look forward to upon purchasing an upgrade:
#1
On your first upgrade, you’ll need Wood (450) and 10,000g. And upon getting it, you’ll find a kitchen with a counter which enables you to cook your own meals without a cookout kit. It also comes with a fridge that you can use as storage for your cooked dishes.
The upgrade also adds a bedroom on the right side of your farmhouse. While your single bed becomes a double bed. This simple enhancement helps you tick off some steps for marriage eligibility.
#2
If you wish to have a child after 14 days of getting along with your spouse, you may obtain the second upgrade. It adds a nursery to your home and a second room on the upper portion of your farmhouse.
Additionally, the nursery contains two single beds and a crib. This house upgrade will cost 50,000g and Hardwood (150). It may sound too expensive, but this unlocks the renovation section in Robin’s shop, and guess what? All renovations are free!
#3
The third upgrade costs 100,000g. You won’t need other materials for it aside from gold. This touch-up adds a Cellar to your farm, allowing you to age certain products in Casks, such as alcoholic drinks. Moreover, aging them sells for higher prices. Here are some items you can age in this artisan equipment:
- Cheese.
- Goat Cheese.
- Beer.
- Mead.
- Pale Ale.
- Wine.
Renovations
You may also get free renovations from Robin’s shop. It includes adding new rooms like a corner and southern room. Removing the crib and the single room’s partition is also an option to revamp your space.

Non-Upgradable Farm Buildings
There are some farm structures that you can’t upgrade, but getting them still enhances your gameplay in Stardew Valley. Here are some Farm Upgrades that you can get to improve your experience and earn more gold!
Stable
A horse is handy in traveling quickly in-game. Interestingly, you don’t get it from Marnie. You’ll find it from Robin together with its Stable– it’s a complete package. You only need Hardwood (100), Iron Bar (5), and 10,000g to construct it in Stardew Valley. It also comes in the size of 4×3.
Fish Pond
This building is useful in hoarding goods from fishes in Stardew Valley. You can add any fish to it, but note that they should be the same. Completing Fish Pond quests increases their population. Hence, you don’t have to ask the carpenter to upgrade them for higher populations.
Moreover, it only takes two days to build it. Here are the specifications for constructing it:
| Structure | Footprint | Materials | Cost | Initial Capacity |
| Fish Pond | 5×5 | • 200 Stone • 5 Seaweed • 5 Green Algae | 5000g | 3 |

Winter is every player’s weakness in Stardew Valley. Due to the limited supply of almost everything, getting hay for your farm animals becomes difficult. Luckily, Robin offers a Silo to store hay on your farm for your animal feed.

| Silo | 3×3 | • 10 Clay • 100 Stone • 5 Copper Bar | 100g | 240 pieces of hay. |

It may sound odd, but you can breed Slimes in-game. They’re great sources of monster loots, saving you the time to visit dangerous areas like the Mines. Nonetheless, owning them doesn’t mean they won’t harm you; make sure to carry a weapon with you when going to the hutch.
These are the materials and features you must look forward to when getting this building:

| Slime Hutch | 11×6 | • 500 Stone • 10 Refined Quartz • 1 Iridium Bar | 10,000g | 20 | Any type of Slime |

FAQs
Can you increase the size of your farm in Stardew Valley?
Unfortunately, you can’t increase your farmland in the vanilla version of Stardew Valley. However, if you’re in dire need of getting more space, you may use mods like Ace’s Expanded Farms and Ultimate Farm. These modifications offer a wider space for players who prefers greater hectares of land.
Why can’t I build Stardew Valley Deluxe barn?
The incapability of getting the Deluxe Barn means you haven’t got the first and second versions of the building. You must first purchase them to obtain the benefits of the final barn upgrade.
Can you undo renovations in Stardew Valley?
You can immediately get rid of the renovations you made in-game. For instance, you may re-add the crib you demolished and the partition you removed in your bedroom. Clearing additional rooms are also possible.
Moreover, you can remove some farm buildings by picking the “demolish” option below the premises’ requirements. But this doesn’t apply to farmhouse upgrades because once you’ve upgraded them, you can’t revert to your old home.
Can player 2 upgrade their house in Stardew Valley?
Unfortunately, the second player (visitor) in multiplayer can’t upgrade the cabin or the host’s farmhouse. They may only enjoy the game with their friend, but upgrading their space in the host’s world is impossible.
