Marnie runs her own shop at Marnie's Ranch from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day, except Monday and Tuesday, although the building is still open on these days. She sells animals and animal supplies.
Schedule
After the Beach Resort on Ginger Island is unlocked, Marnie may randomly spend Monday and/or Tuesday there. After leaving the Island at 6pm, Marnie will immediately go home to bed. Marnie never visits the Resort on Festival days.
Shown below is Marnie's schedule, prioritized from the top down. For example, if it is raining, that schedule overrides all schedules below it.
Mayor Lewis and Marnie have a very close relationship. Although Marnie claims to be single during the Flower Dance, Lewis and Marnie's 6-heart event confirms that they are dating. Lewis visits Marnie's Ranch to attend to her "business needs" on occasion, and the two can often be found drinking together at the Stardrop Saloon in the evening. In one of the story quests, Lewis asks you to find his lucky purple shorts, which can be found in Marnie's bedroom.
You can give Marnie up to two gifts per week (plus one on
her
birthday), which will raise or lower
her
friendship with you. Gifts on
her
birthday ( 18 Fall) will have 8× effect and show a unique dialogue.
For loved or liked gifts, Marnie responds
“
“A birthday gift? That's very kind of you! I love it.”
“
“You remembered my birthday! Thank you. This is great.”
For neutral gifts, Marnie responds
“
“Oh, a birthday gift! Thank you.”
For disliked or hated gifts, Marnie responds

Heart Events
Anytime
At any friendship level greater than zero friendship points, you may receive a gift in the mail from Marnie. The chance of receiving a gift in the mail increases as your friendship with Marnie increases.
Marnie greets the player as they come out of the farmhouse. She will tell the player that she is trying to train her goats to say "hello" but they will not cooperate unless she has their favorite food, Cave Carrots. Marnie asks the player to bring one to her ranch between 9 AM and 5 PM. If the player enters Marnie's Ranch during that time (opening hours may contradict this) with a Cave Carrot in their inventory, a cutscene will occur with the player giving Marnie the carrot. This cutscene will trigger regardless of whether or not Marnie is home.
Three Hearts II
After reaching 3 hearts, Marnie sends you a recipe in the mail.
You will appear behind Lewis' house. Lewis and Marnie are talking by the river about making their romance public. Lewis says it would undermine his authority, while Marnie says he's too concerned for his job. In the end, Marnie says she'll keep their relationship a secret. Afterwards, you'll pop up and scare both Lewis and Marnie. Lewis asks you if you heard anything, and you are presented with a choice.
Yes... but I'll keep it a secret.(+50 friendship with Lewis.)
Yes... and I'm going to tell everyone.(-100 friendship with Lewis.)
If you choose to keep the secret, Lewis will thank you. If you say you'll tell everyone in town, Lewis will cry. Afterwards, Marnie will ask why you were behind the house, and your character will run away, leaving the two alone and confused.
Seven Hearts
After reaching 7 hearts, Marnie sends you a recipe in the mail.
when I'm not taking care of animals I like to experiment in the kitchen. Since we've become friends I want to share some recipes with you.
I hope you like this!
-Marnie
