Stardew Valleyshows players that there’s a lot more to farming than just growing crops and feeding animals. To truly live off the land and support the farm, players can take their crops and refine them into the goods that we use every day — and may sometimes overlook.

One tool that allows players to do this is themill.Though it may be somewhat low on many players' list of priorities when building their farm, it can come in quite handy, especially for players who loveStardew Valley’scooking mechanics. Here’s how to build the mill, and what it can do for the farm.

Once purchased, the mill will becomplete within two days. Players can then use it to process certain crops into refined goods.
Using The Mill
Once finished, players can use the mill to make a few different products from different types of crops, as listed below:

The player can put any number of any type of produce in the mill, and may choose to put different types of items into it at once if they choose. The following day,the goods may be retrieved from the box at the right of the mill.
Though none of these are particularly valuable, they are allincredibly useful forcooking,as making one’s own flour, sugar, and rice allows the player to cheaply prepare plenty of cooked dishes. Players can either use these dishes to restore and buff themselves for fishing, mining, or other adventures, or can gift them to villagers to win their friendship. Flour and sugar come in particularly handy for preparing dishes during theQi’s Cuisine challenge, as they are used in several high-value recipes.
