Locations of Golden Walnuts in Stardew Valley

Eastern Ginger Island

The first Golden Walnut that players can find on Ginger Island is on the eastern side of the island near Leo's hut. Once players have located the walnut in a tree near Leo's hut, they must then offer it to the first parrot on the top right side of the screen outside Leo's hut.

Upon doing so, the parrot will offer hints to locate 123 of the 130 locations where Golden Walnuts can be found. Here's where Stardew Valley players can find Golden Walnuts on the eastern side of Ginger Island.
