Winter is the fourth season in Stardew Valley . It's followed by Spring and preceded by Fall . Winter is one of the most difficult seasons, because all the grass and weeds on the farm die out. This makes fiber and hay more difficult to obtain (fiber can still be found in The Mines , but hay must be purchased from Marnie's Ranch ). However, some of the most valuable items in the game appear only in Winter.
