Though harvesting your own hay or just buying it from Marnie are the most convenient ways of getting hay, there are also a couple of lesser-known ways. If you use a weapon, it will only cut the grass with no reward.Īnd don’t forget that if you don’t feel like cutting the grass, you can let your animals graze on sunny days! Other Ways to Get Hay You can only use your scythe to harvest hay. Once you’re ready to harvest the hay, use your scythe to cut the grass. You can cut the grass starter as soon as you plant it to get hay, but it’s better to leave it for a few days so the grass spreads and you have more of it. You can’t plant Grass Starter on tilled ground. Next, head back to your farm and plant the Grass Starter on your land. Scroll down the list and find “Grass Starter.” Select it to purchase it. Talk to him over the counter to start shopping. Another major benefit is that you can let your animals graze in the grass on sunny days-saving you from ever having to harvest it in the first place.įirst, head over to Pierre’s shop, located in the northern part of the town square, between 9:00 AM and 5 PM on any day but Wednesday. This lets you save a ton of money by not having to purchase hay from Marnie. You can buy grass or wheat from Pierre’s shop, plant it on your farm, and then later harvest it with your scythe to get hay. You don’t always have to rely on Marnie, though. Though this is certainly an easy way to stock up on hay, it can quickly add up-especially during the early stages of the game when money is hard to come by. The price (50g apiece) is to the right of the item name. Head over to Marnie’s shop, talk to her from over the counter, and then click “Supplies Shop.” She’s closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and holidays. Her shop is open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday through Sunday. Marnie’s Ranch is located in Cindersap forest just south of your farm.

If you’re in desperate need of hay, you can buy some from Marnie for 50g apiece. Once your silos are full, cutting grass won’t produce hay! Buy Hay From Marnie One silo can store 240 pieces of hay, so construct as many silos as you think you’ll need. It takes two days for Robin to build the silo. Robin will then tell you that she’ll start working on it the next morning. If the silo can be placed on the selected plots of land, the squares will be green. Next, choose where you want to build the silo on your farm. If you have all of the necessary items, select “Build.”

Scroll through the list of options until you find the silo. Once you make it to Robin’s shop, talk to her over the counter and select “Construct Farm Buildings.” Her shop is open every day except Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the exception of Friday when she closes at 4:00 PM. To build a silo, go visit Robin at her shop, located on the mountain road north of the town square. If you build your barns and buy livestock before you stock up on hay, you may quickly find that you have more animals than you do feed. This way you can stock up on hay before you have much of a need for it. It’s also recommended that you build the silo before building any barns for your animals. If you don’t have a silo, you won’t receive any hay when you cut the grass. With a silo on your farm, you can use your scythe to cut grass and turn it into hay.

To do this, you have to build a silo first. If you plan to have a lot of livestock on your farm, you’re going to want to have your own means of harvesting hay. However, that’s not a very scalable solution in the long run. In fact, you can start purchasing hay as soon as you have enough money for it. You don’t really need to build a silo first if you plan to buy your hay from Marnie.
