Stardew Valley Jodi guide

Our Stardew Valley Jodi guide can help you strike up a friendship with the army wife and explain what gifts and movies she likes and hates.

Stardew Valley Jodi in front of a farm with crops, a house, and trees

Stardew Valley’s Jodi is a resident of Pelican Town, living alone with her two sons while her husband is away in the army. She deserves a friend, being the lovely person she is, and since you’re new in town, it makes sense for you and her to strike up a friendship. To help you out, we can tell you all about heart events, the gifts she likes, and what movies she’s happy to watch with you.

Besides Jodi, 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.

Can you marry Stardew Valley’s Jodi?

Do you see that ring on her finger? Yeah, that means you can’t marry Jodi, and if that doesn’t give it away, give Kent’s letter to her another read. Of course, just because you can’t marry her doesn’t mean you can’t be friends with her; lord knows she could do with some pals while her husband is away serving in the military. If you play your cards right, however, you can make her your mother-in-law by marrying her son Sam.
