Tips for Facebook's Farm Town

Heather Shockney
Farm Town is one of Facebook's hottest applications right now. Everyone you know on Facebook is planting, plowing, and moving right up the levels. You may be stuck at level 12 wondering how in the world you will get to the next level. Well wonder no more, I am going to show some tips for Farm Town to help you become a level 34 in the quickest time possible.

Your biggest thing to moving up the levels in Farm Town is experience points. You get experience points by plowing, buying things like buildings, animals, flowers, paths, etc, and by planting your farm on Farm Town. You can also get experience points by tending to your neighbors farms. The more experience points you earn the higher up you will go in level.

To be able to buy anything in Farm Town you need coins. Coins can be earned through harvesting your crops, or by harvesting the crops of other Farm Town players. The fastest way to earn coins in Farm Town is to go to the Marketplace and be hired by another farmer. You can be hired to harvest or plow at another farmer's farm.

One Tip to remember when trying to be hired at the Marketplace on Farm Town do not beg. People begging for jobs easily annoy people. They will ignore you. To be hired the fastest stand off to the side of the room and wait. You can say hello to the room, but whatever you do, do not beg. Being hired by others on Farm Town lets you earn coins and experience points quickly.

To save your coins once you get them always hire someone to harvest and plow for you. Hiring others to harvest your Farm Town crops will get you the most profit. Having others plow for you is a win for both parties. You get your field plowed for half price and the person plowing gets valuable experience points.

Before you can hire others to plow your fields on Farm Town, you have to have 10 neighbors. If you have lots of friends on Facebook that already play Farm Town this will not be a problem. Simply send them requests to be your neighbor. If you are new to Facebook, or you do not have many friends, do not fret, you can still get people to be your Farm Town neighbor. To get neighbors go to the Farm Town forum. Once you register, you can leave a request for others to become your neighbors. They will add you as a friend on Facebook and then you send them a neighbor request.

Here are some random Farm Town Tips

*Plant grapes and raspberries to make a fast profit. They are ready in a few hours. You can do this a couple times a day. Remember to have someone else harvest for you to make the most coins.

*To hide trees press the wrench in the top right hand of your Farm Town window. Uncheck the show trees button. This will hide the tress from your view. Many people who hire at the Marketplace want the tress hidden. It also makes harvesting easier at times. You can hide flowers and buildings as well.

*Add people you hire to your buddy list. This will allow you to find them if they become disconnected while harvesting. This happens a lot. Also, pay attention to the Go Home button in the lower portion of the screen. It is very easy to mistakenly click on it when plowing or harvesting.

*If you want to send more than one gift to a friend a day, read this article. They have a way to send multiple gifts to a friend each day on Farm Town.

* A day in Farm Town is 20 hours.

* Crops go bad in the same amount of time it takes to grow. So if you plant something that grows in two days, it will then take two days to go bad.

* Trees do not go bad in Farm Town. You can leave them for decoration if you like.

    Great tips! I used to play this game all the time and now I just do not have enough time.

    Heather, Love your article and your farm is magnificent. Since I am one of your neighbors I see it and get very inspired. I am a relative beginner though and my farm is still plain vanilla. Thanks for the tips.

    Great article, Heather! Is this the same as Farmville?

  • Carol Bengle Gilbert8/25/2009

    Don't think I have enough time for this but it sounds interesting.

  • Heather Shockney8/25/2009

    Oh yes the dreaded draggers, they are a pain. I ignore them too.

    This really is an addictive game. How I wish real life could be a simple and rewarding bucolic experience like Farm Town; no wonder people get hooked. The only thing that bugs me are the "stalkers", people who follow you back to your farm when you go to the Marketplace and won't even say hello. I wouldn't mind strangers dropping in to look around and say hi, but these rude people won't talk, yet expect to be hired when they come in uninvited. I always click on "ignore".
