Who says organization can’t be pretty? The fundamental use for a Shed is extra floor space to store all your stuff, but there’s no need to be a philistine!

This Shed’s decorations show off a great way to add a bit of pizzazz to your farm. Sure, you started out by just hiding away all your storageChestsinside one. But now? Now your stockpile is worth showing off.

The Big Money-Maker
This shed for fermenting fruits inKegsis ready to open up Pelican Town’s first winery. Age the fruit in someCasks,and you’ve got a top seller!
Wineproduction is a well-known favorite for grinding up gold to purchase theWizard’sexpensive buildings (like the Gold Clock). Thematically, building it into a cute lil' Shed winery is a great way to connect this moneymaker toStardew Valley’s small-farm aesthetic.

A Touch of The Tropics
Much of your farmland is covered in greenery, sure, but surely that’s more for the sake of utility than beauty. You have to have crops to bring in the gold!
This shed provides another way of cultivating nature for a beautiful hideaway inside one of your Sheds. This is lovely because it really capturesStardew Valley’sfocus on living in return to nature by creating a secret garden purely from a love of plants. No crops allowed!

Slimes Galore!

Sure, pranking someone by hiding an item in a storage Shed happens alittle too often(well, in my experience). Let’s be more creative, and use aSlime Incubatorto fill their Shed with ‘em instead.
Another great option is to just forego the Slime Hutch entirely—build a slime Shed! Given thesubstantiallycheaper cost, this is a great Shed idea for farmers building on a budget.

Almost everyone has aFish Tankshowing off their favorite catches. But how manyStardew Valleyfarmers have dedicated a wholebuildingto this piscine pastime?
Using a Shed to house your collection of fish is a great way to keep them both accessible and on display. The only challenge is: organization by type of fish, or organization by catch location?

Cozy Fireside Reading
LettuceFarm
What about someplace to relax, and get away from it all? Sure, Pelican Town’s pretty far away from “it all,” but a farmer’s life can get pretty busy.
Building yourself a quiet library is a great decorative exercise to turn your Shed into a comfy retreat. This is especially true once children start showing up on the farm—after all, NPCs aren’t programmed to enter a Shed. Perfect for privacy!

Remember that anything grown in a Garden Pot can’t be watered with aSprinkler.Fortunately,Tea Saplingsdon’t require daily watering, but if you want to diversify into coffee at your café you’ll need to remember your Watering Can.
Once the crop is ready, you no longer have to water it. However, you’ll need to start watering again after each harvest.

Using aWorkbench,you’re able to pull items from up to seven adjacent chests. Combine this with additional storage, machinery for processing, andHoppersto speed up production, and you’ve built yourself a miniature factory.
Who wants to waste half a day rummaging through chests when crafting new kit? The Workbench is my favorite machine for just that reason—and putting it into a Shed like this is great for keeping the Workbench stocked with supplies!
