All Golden Walnuts

Golden Walnuts are a collectible form of currency you will find on Ginger Island in Stardew Valley. Ginger Island isn't accessible until reasonably late in the game after you've completed the Community Center. So, if you thought you wouldn't have enough to do in Stardew Valley after you completed all the bundles, don't worry! Ginger Island is choc-full of content that will keep you busy for a long time still.

Many of those hours will be spent searching for the 130 Golden Walnuts hidden around the island. If you're stuck on your last few, or you would prefer not to spend all your money on the Golden Joja Parrot for it to tell you where they are, check out our complete Ginger Island Golden Walnuts guide and find them all for free!

Ginger Island East Golden Walnuts

The east side of Ginger Island is the only place you will be able to access when you first arrive. You will only need to find one Golden Walnut to unlock the next area, but there are plenty to find in the eastern side of Ginger Island.

Golden Walnut 1

Shake the bush on the left side of the forest leading to Leo's House to find your first Golden Walnut.

If you cut the tree on the right side of Leo's House with an axe, your second Golden Walnut will pop out of the trunk.

Golden Walnut 4-8

Every day that it rains on Ginger Island, you will be able to find a colored flamingo hiding in one of the four sections of Ginger Island. Approach the birds, and they will fly off, leaving a gem behind. Take the gems to the alcove beside Leo's house and place them on the pillar corresponding to the area in which you found it.

Once you have collected all four gems, you will receive five Golden Walnuts.
