Haley in Stardew Valley.

Haley in Stardew Valley.

Think you can convince Haley to live the farm life with you? Here's how to romance Haley in Stardew Valley. With a cushy upbringing, Haley doesn't have much of a personality beyond her popularity and good looks. At least, not one she's able to really convey to others without coming across as self-involved and mean. She's seeking purpose, though perhaps even she doesn't realize it.

Down below, we'll go over everything you need to know to get through to Haley and tie the knot. We'll cover her likes and dislikes, where to find her at any (she's probably at home), and how her various romance events play out. They're a quick way to make her yours.

For a few other bits, check out five games like Stardew Valley for when you've exhausted this one. You'll also want to repair the community center and solve the Winter Mystery quest. And for the whole lot, our Stardew Valley walkthrough hub is worth checking out. Our Stardew Valley characters guide works in a similar fashion.

Haley Romance Guide

Unlike so many other characters in Stardew Valley, Haley isn't quite so easy to impress early on. She doesn't care much for most items in the game, making gifting difficult.

On the opposite side of things, she spends a lot of time at home. She's regularly available. That means you won't have to try too hard to meet up with her on busy days.

Schedule

For the most part, Haley's schedule is light. She doesn't appear to work shifts anywhere, which gives her plenty of time to relax at home or cook in the kitchen. She spends most afternoons by the fountain near the community center before heading home to cook dinner in the late afternoon.

The only change is on Mondays when she spends an hour or two around noon taking pictures by the river near Marnie's Ranch. If it's raining, she'll spend the day at her home.

Married life after you've romanced Haley

Once she moves into the farm house after you get married, Haley sets up a small garden in the space behind the building. She'll sometimes stand there with her camera.

Like other marriage candidates, she'll offer you various dishes depending on the weather or time of day. On lazy mornings, she'll cook Bread, Pancakes, Friend Egg, Omelet, or Hashbrowns. If it's raining at the time, she'll make sweets like Cookie, Blueberry Tart, Pancakes, Maple Bar, and Poppyseed Muffin.

On rainy nights, she'll make Chowder, Eggplant Parmesan, Parsnip Soup, or Bean Hotpot.
