Befriending Jodi provides Stardew Valley players with the Recipes for Fried Calamari and Ice Cream. She will also send farming supplies in the mail.

Jodi is a local housewife in Pelican Town of Stardew Valley who resides at 1 Willow Lane, the home next door to Haley and Emily, near the town's southwest entrance. She lives with her two sons, Sam and Vincent, until the first of Spring Year 2. During the Spring Season of the protagonist's second year, Jodi's husband Kent will return from being deployed in the army in Stardew Valley. Jodi is usually located in her kitchen, the Town Square, or Pierre's General Store. She will also visit Harvey's Clinic on the 11th and 18th of every Spring.

Once Stardew Valley fans have a general understanding of Jodi's basic routine, they will be able to find her and offer gifts. After her relationship points have risen above zero, she will occasionally send items to the protagonist via mail delivery. These items include Basic Fertilizer ×5, Quality Fertilizer ×5, and Basic Retaining Soil ×5. Apart from the unique Heart events that trigger, players will be rewarded with new Recipes as they increase their Heart ranking with Jodi.

After reaching three hearts with Jodi in Stardew Valley, she will send the Recipe for Fried Calamari to the protagonist in the mail. Once seven hearts have been accumulated, the player will be rewarded with the Recipe for Ice Cream. Keep in mind that since Jodi is a married NPC, it is impossible to romance her unless unofficial mods are present within the game.
