looks like there's something new to do with raccoons? Anyone have an idea how to start it?

Did u find the big trees on the map tile from marnie/under your farm? It's directly on the left. The fence is now opened there and you have an hand symbol on the tree.. i guess it has to be there.
Maybe it's on some special time to start it. Just like the wellness area that opened the way at a specific time too.

---SPOILER ALERT---
1. At first you need to wait for nighttime event (i think it happens at random)
2. Then near the entrance to secret woods you will see gigantic stump, you need some hardwood to make from it small house.
3. On the next day near small cutie house racoon will appear. asking for smoked chub and some mussels.
4. Then this cutie little racoon asks for wife. And he finds her after a few weeks, or when winter comes.
5. This new couple asks for food: coconut jelly and dried cactus fruit
6. Next time of year(Summer) he asks for a gift to the lady: 99 Slimes and 5 frozen geodes.
7. Pickled summer squash and tomato juice
8. Pumpkin juice and Pickled Broccoli

what the racoon and his wife ask for is different each time, if you look at the wiki it will tell you the options but its very random each time
