The '''Snow Yam''' is a [[foraging]] item found only in [[Winter]]. Unlike other forage items found on the ground, to obtain a Snow Yam, you must dig with the [[Hoes|Hoe]].  It's not necessary to dig at an [[Artifact Spot]], although Snow Yams may be found at Artifact Spots.  Snow Yams may be found by digging any tillable soil in Stardew Valley outside of [[The Farm]] (including [[The Desert]]).  They may also be grown from [[Winter Seeds|Winter Wild Seeds]].

The '''Snow Yam''' is a [[foraging]] item found only in [[Winter]]. Wild snow yams do not grow above ground, but instead they are buried in the snow/dirt and must be dug up with a [[Hoe]] (no other tools, even [[Bombs]], will work).
   −
Snow Yams give no foraging experience when harvested around town.

The highest chance of finding a Snow Yam (11-16%, map-dependent) is when digging up an [[Artifact Spot]].<ref name="artifact_chance" />  There is also a 4% chance of finding a Snow Yam when digging standard tillable soil in any exterior location.<ref name="soil_chance" />  Exceptions are in the [[Desert]], where Snow Yams can be found in standard tillable soil but not artifact spots, and the [[Farm]], where the reverse is true: Snow Yams can be found at artifact spots, but not standard tillable soil.  Digging up a Snow Yam provides no experience.

Snow Yams can also be grown from [[Winter Seeds]], in which case they are a standard wild-seed crop: they grow above ground, can be harvested without using a tool, and give 7 Foraging XP.
