A coop on day 1
Meadowlands is a farm map added in 1.6. It is aimed at animals. You start with a coop and two chickens, and the chickens have random names. Instead of Lewis's 15 parsnip seeds, the opening gift is 15 hay.
The map has 2,066 tillable tiles. Fishing in the river or a large pond is forest-pond fish 40% of the time and trash 60% of the time. Rainbow Trout in that water still follow ordinary season and weather rules. During the Trout Derby, the forest river south of Marnie's is the place that ignores those rules.
Blue grass grows on Meadowlands at the start. It does not spontaneously appear on the other farm maps. A Blue Grass Starter recipe is sold in Qi's Walnut Room.
Animals gain 16 friendship from blue grass, against 8 from ordinary grass. Coop animals eat 1 tuft instead of 2. Barn animals eat 2 tufts instead of 4.
A scythe cut of blue grass drops two hay when it drops hay, against one from ordinary grass. Since 1.6.9, blue grass spreads at the same rate as ordinary grass.
The rest of the year still applies
Seasons, rain, and the festival clock are the same on this map as on any other. Spring crops still die on Summer 1. The Egg Festival's strawberry seeds are still the early-spring crop the store does not stock in week one. Mastery, including Golden Animal Crackers that double produce on an animal other than a pig, is on the Mastery Cave page.
Grass outdoors goes dormant in winter on every farm, Meadowlands included. Cutting it then is less effective. The opening 15 hay feeds the two chickens until the grass is feeding them.
