Stardew Valley Secret Note 14 Meaning

The Secret Notes are a part of the “A Winter Mystery” quest that the player receives in the Winter of Year One.

The quest is activated by finding Krobus, the shadow figure, and retrieving the magnifying glass from him.

Once the quest is active, the player has the opportunity to find 25 different notes left by various residents of the valley, though not all of them are signed.

You can find them by doing a variety of different tasks from resource collection to artifact spot mining.
