Stardew Valley - How to upgrade your Farm and Farmhouse

The Farm and the Farmhouse are the places that you will spend the most time in Stardew Valley. Therefore it is important to make the place you live in as comfortable as possible. To make that come true you need a lot of materials and a lot of gold. So it is not possible to do all of the upgrades in year one as it takes a long time to gather enough gold and materials but fear not as there are a few ways in which you can progress forward much faster than by actually grinding out gold the whole year by farming.
