Not every crop inStardew Valleyis equally valuable, but every crop has a purpose. You can convert vegetables into pickles and juice, fruit into jam and wine, flowers grown around bee housescan improve the quality of their honey, and all of them can appear in various food recipes.
The majority of crop seeds are easy to find: just head over to Pierre’s shop or JojaMart and check out the current season’s seed stocks. However, a few seeds are tucked away in unusual places, and you’ll need to exploreStardew Valleyto find them all.

You can use them to earn money, craft various items, complete quests, and even improve relationships with the inhabitants of the valley.

Wild Seeds
Wild seeds are a special category of craftable seeds. You can plant and water them on your farm like normal seeds, butthey produce random forage itemsinstead of normal crops. In fact, you get forage experience for harvesting wild seeds. There are four types of wild seed, one for each season, and Winter Seeds are one of the few winter crops inStardew Valley.

1 Snow Yam
1 Winter Root
In all cases, the forage items used to craft the wild seed type are the same forage items you get once they mature. This means you won’t get Spring Onions or Morels from Spring Seeds, and you won’t get Holly from Winter Seeds.
