How to Find the Treasures:
When you first arrive in the Untrodden Groves, take the lower path heading south. You'll see a bridge; cross it, and then immediately look to your left. You should spot a cow there – give it a good search for some Fresh Milk. Keep following this path; it's quite long and linear, and you'll eventually reach the eastern edge of the area. Along the western wall, keep an eye out for a chest. Open it up to find Mini Medal #109. That's all the loot on this lower path, so head back to where you started.
Now, from your starting point, head south again, but this time take the raised path. Just keep going south until you find another chest. This one holds the Super Spicy Cheese. After grabbing that, you're pretty much done with the Groves. Just head east towards Tryan Gully. You'll pass another cow on the way, so you can get more Fresh Milk if you need it. Then, just continue on into the village!
