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 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. She has a variety of likes and loves, though some can be a bit more difficult to find. It’s also worth pointing out that the woman has quite a long list of dislikes, so make sure you don’t give her one of those by mistake instead. Oh, and she absolutely hates daffodils and dandelions, so whatever you do, don’t give her those flowers.

The note Stardew Valley's Jodi leaves you along with a recipe during one of her heart events

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?

Jodi’s heart events mostly involve you receiving some goodies in the mail, though you also have a couple of chances to strengthen your friendship with her. She even invites you over for dinner, clearly appreciating the friendship and companionship you’ve given her in her husband’s absence. Jodi is one of the best people in Pelican Town, so say hi to her now and then.

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?

Gifts, movies, and heart events are a good way to boost your friendship with Stardew Valley’s Jodi, but so are quests, and she has a few of them for you. Not only can you get friendship points and even hearts by doing these, but also some extra gold – you can never have too much cash.

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

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

Can you marry Stardew Valley’s Jodi?

You Can’t marry Jodi. No, that isn’t up for debate. Just look at her finger; the woman is already taken and waiting for her husband to come home from the military. That must be hard for her, so why don’t you be what she needs right now? A friend. You can even make her life easier by being another adult who looks out for Vincent, or, if you really want to become family, embark on a relationship with Stardew Valley’s Sam so she becomes your mother-in-law.
