A spiritual sequel to PPJA's Fresh Meat mod, which uses Stardew Valley magic to grow fruits and vegetables and turn them into meat
GrowYourMeat
🌱 **Spiritual sequel inspired by PPJA’s fresh meat module**
Core concepts
As the spiritual sequel to the PPJA fresh meat module, this module reintroduces the plantable meat system. But unlike growing meat directly, you need to grow specific plants first and then transform them into various meats through the magical power of Stardew Valley, just like soybeans can be turned into tofu!
Planting system
- 🛒 **Seed Purchase**: All seeds can be purchased at Pierre's Shop, **all year round**!
- 🌿 **Currently available varieties**:
- 🐮 **Chorned Melon** → Beef
- 🐑 **Goat Beans** → Lamb
- 🐷 **Pig Fruit** → Pork
- 🐔 **Birdberry** → Chicken
Processing system
🏭 Slaughterhouse
- **Unlock conditions**: Farming level 3
- **Crafting Materials**: 1 battery pack + 5 iron ingots + 3 oil
🥩 Meat transformation
By adding different oils, you can get a higher quality meat product:
**Example of processing of horn melon**:
- Horny melon → Slaughterhouse → Raw minced beef
- Horny melon + ordinary oil → Slaughterhouse → Raw beef brisket
- Horny melon + horny melon oil → Slaughterhouse → Raw steak
- Cape melon + truffle oil → Slaughterhouse → Raw Wagyu steak (new in version 1.1!)
Oil production
Put the plant products into the oil press to get the corresponding oils, and then use these oils and the corresponding plants to process them in the slaughterhouse to get higher-grade meat!
Deep processing of meat
Once you obtain raw meat, you have several options:
Traditional processing method
- 🔥 **Kiln** → Cooking
- 🐟 **Fish Smoker** → Smoked
- ☀️ **Dehydrator** → Drying
New machines added in version 1.1
- 🥫 **Canning Machine** (Unlocked at Farming Level 4)
- 🍲 **Sous Vide Cooker** (Unlocked at Farming Level 6)
- 🌭 **Sausage Making Machine** (Unlocked at Farming Level 8)
Product Features
💎 **All meat products are considered crafts** and benefit from the Artisan career bonus!

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
