Stardew Valley’s Jodi deserves kindness, compassion, and a friend. It’s not easy being a solo parent to two boys while your husband is away in the army, but this badass mom shows you how it’s done. So, as you’re new in town and need of some friends, why not get to know Jodi? Form a close enough friendship, and you even get a pal who’s happy to have dinner with you, so let’s take a look at what gifts Jodi likes, which movies you should take her to, and more.
Besides Jodi and her young son Stardew Valley’s Vincent, there are plenty of other Stardew Valley characters for you to meet in Pelican Town after you pick out your Stardew Valley farm layout. If you want to find love, Stardew Valley’s Shane and Stardew Valley’s Abigail are just two examples of eligible single people who also call the village home.
Here’s everything you need to know about Stardew Valley’s Jodi:
What are the best Stardew Valley Jodi gifts?
Stardew Valley’s Jodi is easy to please. There are many things this woman loves, including chocolate cake, diamonds, rhubarb pie, and pancakes – she likes sweet things and gems, apparently. However, she’s not so keen on flowers. Specifically, she hates daffodils and dandelions; she also can’t stand spice berry.
You can give Jodi two gifts a week and an extra one on her birthday, so make sure you make the most out of those opportunities if you want to strengthen your friendship.
| Reaction | Gift |
| Love | Universal loves, crispy bass, rhubarb pie, fried eel, diamond, chocolate cake, pancakes, vegetable medley, eggplant parmesan |
| Like | Universal likes, all eggs (except void egg), all milk, all fruit (except spice berry) |
| Neutral | Universal neutrals |
| Dislike | Universal dislikes, common mushroom, ginger, chanterelle, garlic, leek, holly, hazelnut, purple mushroom, snow yam, magma cap, morel, winter root, quartz, wild horseradish |
| Hate | Universal hates, dandelion, spice berry, daffodil |
When is Stardew Valley Jodi’s birthday?
Jodi’s birthday is on Fall 11, so if you want to be a good friend and give her something nice on her special day (I recommend one of her favorite gifts, chocolate cake), make a note of this date.
What are Stardew Valley Jodi’s heart events?
If there’s one way to describe Jodi, it’s that she’s a giver, as most of her heart events involved her giving you a gift in the post or even a nice dinner at her house. There’s nothing you can do to destroy your friendship; your bond only ever gets stronger. You just need to give her a nice present now and then and some company.
| Event | How to trigger |
| Any more than zero hearts | Jodi might send you any of the following items: -basic fertilizer -basic retaining soil -quality fertilizer |
| Two hearts | If you go to Jodi’s house and enter her room you can find a letter from her husband, Stardew Valley’s Kent, on the bedside table |
| Three hearts | Jodi sends you the fried calamari recipe |
| Four hearts | Leave your house between 6am and 9:30am on a Monday and Jodi will invite you to dinner. All you need to do is bring a largemouth bass for her casserole at 7pm any night after she invites, excluding when a festival is on |
| Seven hearts | Jodi sends you the recipe for ice cream |
What are Jodi’s quests?
If you want another way to better your friendship beyond outings to the movies and gifts, Jodi has a quest you can complete that gives you a friendship heart. You also get some gold, so it’s worth it in every way.
| Quest | How to complete | Reward |
| Jodi’s request | Give her a cauliflower after she sends you a letter requesting one on the 19th of Spring | One friendship heart and 350 gold |
| Fish casserole | Go to her farm for dinner after she invites you to | There is no reward for this |
| Help wanted board | Jodi may sometimes request an item on the help wanted board: give her the item | You get three times the value of the item you give Jodi |
What are Jodi’s favorite movies and concessions?
If you want a nice, easy-going person to go to the movies with, Stardew Valley’s Jodi is your girl, as there isn’t a single film that she doesn’t like, and she’s open to a lot of different snacks, too. She’s certainly easier to please here than the likes of Stardew Valley’s Pierre, though he’s quite a difficult man in general, to be honest.
| Movie | Concession | |
| Love | The Zuzu City Express | Chocolate popcorn, stardrop sorbet |
| Like | It Howls In The Rain, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch, Wumbus, The Brave Little Sapling, Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World, Mysterium, Journey Of The Prairie King: The Motion Picture | Salted peanuts, popcorn, star cookie, salmon burger, jasmine tea, cappuccino mousse cake, ice cream sandwich, nachos, personal pizza, fries |
| Dislike | N/A | Everything else |
Can you marry Stardew Valley’s Jodi?
The ring on Jodi’s finger should tell you all you need to know: you can’t marry her. The woman is already spoken for and, like any good wife, she’s faithful to her husband. However, she’s very open to making a new friend. She could certainly do with the company while Kent is away at war, so be a nice person and just be there for her. Besides, if you do want to become family, her oldest son, Stardew Valley’s Sam, is one of Pelican Town’s eligible bachelors.
