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.

Post a CommentGreat 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?
Don't think I have enough time for this but it sounds interesting.
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".
