Eric Barone drops the biggest Stardew Valley 1.6 update patch note yet: A new Meadowlands farm type with 'chewy blue grass that animals love' and some bonus chickens too

Stardew Valley key art - a player on a horse rides near a farmhouse while another harvests corn.

As PC Gamer's BaroneWatch enters its ninth day, Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has shared what is expected to be the final individual patch note for the Stardew Valley 1.6 update before it goes live. And folks, this is a big one: The update will include an all-new farm type called Meadowlands Farm.

Stardew Valley currently has seven farm types—standard, Riverland, Forest, Hilltop, Wilderness, Four Corners, and Beach—each with their own unique benefits, bonuses, and limitations. The addition of an eighth is a very big deal, because it gives players an opportunity (or excuse) to start all over again in a brand new setting. It's also the first new farm type to be added to the game since the Beach farm in 2020.
