What to Grow for the Frog on Ginger Island in Stardew Valley

On Ginger Island, near the farm area, you’ll find a cave home to an NPC known as the Gourmand Frog. This frog requests that you grow specific crops on your farm. This guide will help you understand what crops to grow for the Gourmand Frog in Stardew Valley.

Finding the Gourmand Frog

To meet the Gourmand Frog, you need to first build the Farm Hut on Ginger Island. After doing so, a cave slightly northeast of the hut will become accessible. Enter this cave to find the Gourmand Frog, who will give you cryptic clues about the crops you need to grow for him.

Gourmand Frog’s Crop Requests

The Gourmand Frog makes three distinct crop requests, which you must fulfill in the specified order. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Melons – Referred to by the frog as ‘da pink thing.’ Obtain Melon seeds from Pierre’s, JojaMart, or use a seed maker.
2. Wheat – Called the ‘long yellow thing.’ Get Wheat seeds from Pierre’s, JojaMart, or a seed maker.
3. Garlic – Described as the ‘zesty ground-fruit that makes your breath smell.’ Acquire Garlic seeds from Pierre’s, JojaMart, or a seed maker.

Steps to Complete the Quest

• Plant at least one seed of each crop and ensure they reach full maturity.
• Do not harvest the crops. Instead, enter the cave and speak with the Gourmand Frog. The frog will assess the crops you’ve grown.

For each correctly grown crop, you will receive 5 Golden Walnuts. These Golden Walnuts are essential for unlocking various buildings and services on Ginger Island.
