Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer has shared a clever way to use tons of Preserves Jars without taking up any space on the player’s farm or in their home. The placement uses an area that most players inStardew Valleyalmost never visit, making this a very interesting technique.
Using aPreserves Jaris a good way of making money passively, as once a crop is put in it, players don’t need to do anything else except to collect the finished product. The profit can rise even further if the player choosesStardew Valley’s Artisan profession, but making a bit profit without turning one’s home or farm into an eyesore can be a bit more difficult.

Enter gdanz1, who shared their clever Preserves Jars spot with fellow players on theStardew Valleysubreddit. Instead of building numerous sheds or home expansions and losing money doing so, they instead put a slew of Preserves Jars in a tunnel just beyond the game’s bus stop. This tunnel is almost never used in the game, and doesn’t have any NPCs wandering down it, so there’s no risk for the Preserves Jars getting destroyed. It looks like gdanz1 has managed to squeeze in 88 Preserves Jars, as well as some braziers for lighting, and a storage chest, presumably for holding more ingredients to convert intoartisan goods.
Stardew Valley Tip Taken to the Next Level
Pamsingle Preserves Jar by the Pelican Townbus stop where they can readily see it, and put an item into it at the same time as those in the tunnel. This allows the single Preserves Jar to serve as an alert as to when they’re all ready, so the player doesn’t have to remember or check it every single day.
Other fans suggested similar locations where they’ve done something like this, likeStardew Valley’s quarry. While it takes a little bit of effort to get into the quarry for the first time, once it’s accessed and cleared, the space can be used for whatever a player likes. Some fans have turned this area into tree farms, while others use it for things like Preserves Jars, or even storage chests for extraneous collections they don’t want to clutter their farm with.
