Stardew Valley’s George is one of the elderly citizens who live in Pelican Town, and it’s fair to say that he’s not had an easy time of it, but that’s all the more reason to be a good neighbor and friend. To help you connect with the old timer, let’s take a look at his favorite gifts, explore what movies and concessions he likes, and dive into his heart events.
Luckily, George isn’t alone. He has Stardew Valley characters, such as his wife, Stardew Valley’s Evelyn, and grandson, Stardew Valley’s Alex, around to keep him company. When he was a young lad, his own grandfather was a farmer, so he knows a thing or two about your profession. Still, since George is unable to help you learn a thing or two due to his age, we can teach you instead.

Here’s everything you need to know about Stardew Valley’s George:
What are the best Stardew Valley George gifts?
There’s not a lot of things that George specifically likes or dislikes, so while he’s not quite so open to as many individual gifts as Stardew Valley’s Maru, it’s still difficult to give him a present that he truly despises; just don’t put holly or dandelions anywhere near him.
| Reaction | Gift |
|---|---|
| Love | Universal loves, leek, fried mushroom |
| Like | Universal likes (except flowers), daffodil |
| Neutral | Universal neutrals, all fruit (except salmonberry and fruit tree fruit), all eggs (except void egg), all milk, magma cap, ginger, chanterelle, winter root, hazelnut, purple mushroom, common mushroom, snow yam, morel |
| Dislike | Universal dislikes (except clay), salmonberry, wild horseradish |
| Hate | Universal hates, holly, clay, dandelion, quartz |
What are Stardew Valley George’s heart events?
If you want to learn how to cook some eel dishes, increasing your friendship with George is worth it. Plus, you get a bittersweet scene in which you help him, and in his appreciation, he explains why he’s in a wheelchair.
| Event | How to trigger |
|---|---|
| Anytime | George might send you 35 pieces of stone in the post, the higher your friendship is with George, the more likely you are to receive this gift |
| Three hearts | George sends you the recipe for fried eel in the mail |
| Six hearts | You need to enter George’s house when he’s home; this triggers a cutscene in which you take an item off the shelf for George after he struggles to get it down. He thanks you and explains why he’s in a wheelchair |
| Seven hearts | George mails you the recipe for spicy eel |
What are Stardew Valley George’s quests?
As with many other Pelican Town residents, George has a couple of quests for you to complete. These can be a great way to not only get some additional gold, but to improve your friendship with George, too.
| Quest | How to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Knee therapy | On the 25th of summer, George asks you for a hot pepper; all you need to do is give him one | You get one friendship heart and 200 gold |
| Help Wanted board | George sometimes puts requests for items on the board outside Pierre’s shop; you just need to give George the item he wants | You get three times as much gold as the item is worth |
| The Pirate’s Wife | Just like Stardew Valley’s Sandy, George is one of the citizens you need to give a gift to during The Pirate’s Wife quest; his is an advanced TV remote | You receive the fairy dust recipe and five golden walnuts. However, you need to complete all steps in the main quest to receive the rewards |
What are George’s favorite movies and concessions?
While George isn’t quite as easygoing as the likes of Stardew Valley’s Leo and Stardew Valley’s Pierre, he still likes the vast majority of movies and anything that qualifies as an unhealthy snack – don’t get this man apples, give him some nachos instead.
| Movies | Concessions | |
|---|---|---|
| Love | The Zuzu City Express | Stardrop sorbet, black licorice |
| Like | The Brave Little Sapling, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch, Wumbus, Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World | Salmon burger, sour slimes, fries, popcorn, truffle popcorn, nachos, salted peanuts, personal pizza |
| Dislike | Journey Of The Prairie King: The Motion Picture, It Howls In The Rain, Mysterium | Everything else |
Can you marry George?
No, you cannot marry George. This elderly fellow has been with his wife, Evelyn, for a long time, and I’ll thank you for keeping your shenanigans away from their marriage. However, you can become family with George, as his grandson, Alex, is one of the eligible bachelors in town. Should Alex not be the one for you, maybe Stardew Valley’s Sebastian and Stardew Valley’s Shane are more your type.
With that, you know all of the important things about Stardew Valley’s George.
