Facebook Farm Town - My Addiction

Jaipi Sixbear
I'm absolutely addicted to Facebook Farm Town. Facebook Farm Town is virtual gardening. This application is wonderful. Grow your own little garden and raise farm animals. Sell crops at market. Facebook Farm Town application is great fun for gardeners.

May 10 is official planting day for Denver gardeners. Meanwhile, I can occupy myself in Facebook Farm Town. How nice to have a virtual outlet for those gardening urges. I'm planting crops in Facebook Farm Town while awaiting the official start of gardening season.

Each Facebook Farm Town farmer starts with some coins. Coins are used to plow, and buy seeds for growing crops. In Facebook Farm Town, plant seeds and watch them grow. When crops are ready to harvest, sell them at market to earn more coins. Facebook Farm Town farmers can earn coins in other ways. Spend them on items to enhance the farm.

Coins are earned by working at Facebook Farm Town farmers farms. Just visit them. A little box pops up describing what needs work. Earn gardening trophies for farm work. Earn coins by accumulating trophies too. Click "earn coins" to accept offers from Facebook Farm Town sponsors.

Anything purchased for a real farm can be purchased for a Facebook Farm Town farm. Fences, silos, scarecrows, animals, hay bales and wagons are just a few things. Facebook Farm Town farmers can purchase trees to grow fruit. These are just a few activities at Facebook Farm Town.

Chat with neighbors, at Facebook Farm Town. Invite new people to join the Facebook Farm Town community. Farm Town neighbors can send each other gifts of animals and trees. A friend has sent trees to your Farm Town property. You can send a gift in return and also send to other Facebook Farm Town friends.

Growing and harvesting plants is the best Facebook Farm Town feature.The little seeds appear to be growing into plants resembling the real thing. Picking up the virtual scythe and harvesting the little plants is satisfying. Facebook Farm Town is not just a collection of objects. It's interactive and free.

I would like everyone on AC, readers, writers and staff to join me on Facebook Farm Town. You will all love it. Facebook Farm Town is a great way to collect your thoughts during writers block or between articles. My name is Jaipi Sixbear and I'm addicted to Facebook Farm Town. Won't you be my virtual Facebook Farm Town neighbor?

    Great article. I'd love to be your neighbor (is Farm Town the same as Farmville?).

    I want to comment with some comments I read. In a reality farming is very nice, just enjoy it and it will be. Once i grew up planting rice and harvesting coconut tree in Olo-olo, Lobo, Batangas, Philippines. Its hard to make money because true patience is require before the harvest come.

    If farming is any resempblance of what real farming is about... farmers need the highest ever given recognition! I have no clue how they can endure the hard work or even greater yet, how can they survive! I am so addicted to FarmTown, I wounder if I will try real farming soon.

    Christopher, I have actually learned a lot about the value of hard work playing farm town. I also have learned not to shirk my duties or my crops go to waste. I'm almost 50 and thought I knew all this but it kind of brings it home. Beverly, I don't know, farm town is working fine for me today.

    I can't get on Farm Town today, it is only loading to 45% what's going on with it?

    My aunt is addicted to Farm Town too (she accepts all neighbor requests too - so look for Gnu)! I don't play any Facebook Games myself but, from watching her play, I think that Farm Town, unlike most games there, is far from a waste of time. It has a lot of lessons to teach society about sharing, helping, fair trade, and a real economy, so I think it is a very positive development! Keep on playing :o)
