FarmVille rolls out new neighbor visit feature

As mentioned by last week's FarmVille Podcast, a new Neighbor Visit feature is being rolled out in FarmVille. Please note, currently this feature has limited access, not all farmers will be able to see this function yet.

    Fertilize Crops

FarmVille Neighbor Actions Icon

FarmVille Dessert Contest promises sweet prizes for tasty treats

FarmVille Dessert Contests
FarmVille has announced a brand new contest today, and this one isn't for the best looking farm. In fact, it doesn't really involve playing FarmVille at all. To participate in this contest, Zynga are encouraging you to get to your kitchen and make FarmVille themed desserts. That's right, cookies, brownies, cakes, pie, you name it. If it has a FarmVille theme, you can enter it in this contest and hope to win the grand prize of 1000 Farm Cash, 1,000,000 coins, and a limited edition item of your choice.

There will be three different categories in the contest - cookies, cakes, and original desserts. Five winners in each category will be picked on December 1st and the 15 winners will be announced on December 3rd. You do need to hold a sign in the picture with your Zynga forum name so that they know that it was actually you, and no Photoshopping will be allowed whatsoever.

This is a neat contest, because players have already made some fantastic looking desserts in the past and there will be lots of great ones to look at.

View the officlal thread here for all the details and to see the submissions so far.

New FarmVille Animals: Mistletoe Donkey & Winter Goat

Looking to add a bit of a festive touch to your animal pens in FarmVille this holiday season? Then why not add one of the game's two newest themed animals to your herd?

The two new animals come in the form of a Mistletoe Donkey (what appears to be a regular donkey, outfitted with a red and white scarf and a sprig of mistletoe hanging from his head) and a Winter Goat (a regular brown goat with a green scarf and earmuffs). You might recognize this Winter Goat from the FarmVille Holiday Limited Edition Showcase 2 video (what a mouthful!) that was released on Monday.

Both of these animals cost Farm Cash, with the Mistletoe being the more expensive of the two, at 18 Farm Cash. The Winter Goat, then, costs 14 Farm Cash. The Donkey can be harvested from everyday, while the Winter Goat is a two-day harvest animal. The Donkey's higher price tag is further explained by the fact that you'll earn 100 coins from harvesting it, while the Goat only offers 54 coins at each harvest.

Sure, neither of these animals are going to help you quickly earn a mountain of in-game riches, but we all know that you're not spending 18 (or even 14) Farm Cash on an animal because of its possibility for profitability.

Both of these animals will be available in the game for the next 16 days, and remember, you can easily send these items to friends as an in-game gift by just clicking on the "Send" button and choosing a friend, instead of clicking on "Buy" to add these animals to your own farm.

Check out the rest of our Holiday 2010 coverage right here.

What do you think of these two new animals? Which other animal do you want Zynga to give a holiday spin to this year?

FarmVille Bunny Slope: Best item ever?

Released last night alongside other Holiday items, was the FarmVille Bunny Slope. Many immediately passed the Bunny Slope off as merely another boring Farm Cash item. However, not only is the Bunny Slope a clever joke (because a bunny is riding the Bunny Slope), it is also potentially the best FarmVille item ever (in my opinion of course).
farmville bunny slope
farmville bunny slope best itemOnce placed on your farm, a bunny rabbit with an orange sled continually climbs up the Bunny Slope and then slides back down. Could it get any cuter? Many FarmVille players don't think so. Some have even lined up their other cute animals at the bottom of the hill, waiting their turn to ride the FarmVille Bunny Slope (though of course, they can't actually ride it). I might even keep my farm holiday themed all year around, just so I can display my favorite FarmVille item: the Bunny Slope.

Unfortunately, the FarmVille Bunny Slope costs a massive 28 Farm Cash. But for one of the best FarmVille items ever, it might be worth it.

FarmVille: Holiday Cow appears - remember to open your Christmas presents!

Merry Christmas farmers! While you're busy opening presents in the real world with friends and family, remember that Zynga has given all players a free gift inside your Holiday Tree in FarmVille! As we predicted earlier this month, the prize is the Holiday Cow, and you'll find it by clicking on the Holiday Tree, clicking on "Look Inside" and then opening the present you've been given by Zynga.

Additionally, any gifts that you've been given by friends (by those friends that redeemed some of their collected gifts, and then shared extras on their wall) are now also available to be opened. Remember to check inside your tree to see if you received any free Winter Whimsy gift boxes, Ice Homes, and the like - you wouldn't want to miss out on receiving these free items, now would you?

Any item that you receive, including the Holiday Cow, will go straight into your inventory, so make sure you have less than the 500 item limit in your inventory to be able to open them.

Happy Holidays!

FarmVille Valentine Trees: Cinnamon Heart and Heart Candy Trees

As we told you yesterday, Zynga has been hard at work on another set of Valentine's Day themed trees in FarmVille, and in tonight's update, we see the release of two more trees to the market - the Cinnamon Heart Tree and the Heart Candy Tree.

As the names suggest, both of these trees are associated with two themed candies (the candy hearts that have messages on them, and the red cinnamon candies that are shaped like hearts), so they fit into the more whimsical variety of trees released in FarmVIlle recently. If you're ok with accepting a bit of fantasy on your farm, rather than straight realism, you can purchase either of these trees from the store for a limited time.

The Cinnamon Heart Tree costs 5 Farm Cash, while the Heart Candy Tree costs 15 Farm Cash. Fortunately, neither one of these is too grand a price (trees can easily cost 30 Farm Cash or more), but remember, if you want to save your Farm Cash entirely, make sure to look for Mystery Seedling posts that your FarmVille neighbors share on their news feed - you never know what those trees might grow into, but we can confirm that Heart Candy Trees are now circulating as Mystery Seedlings.

Both of these trees can be mastered, with the first star of mastery for both trees being earned at 75 harvests each.

For the hardcore tree collector, you have the next 18 days to decide whether or not these trees are worth the purchase. After that, they'll expire from the store, so shop fast.

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day coverage right here.

Which of these two trees is your favorite? Do you like the various fictional trees that Zynga has released in FarmVille, or would you rather the game stick to a realistic approach?

FarmVille Valentine Animals: Valentine Mini Pony and Heart Rabbit

FarmVille has really started feeling the love this week, as tonight's game update sees the release of two new pink animals in the limited edition Valentine's Day theme. The two animals are the Valentine Mini Pony and the Heart Rabbit.

Both of these animals, as you might have already guessed, are not only limited edition items, but are also premium (only available for Farm Cash). The Valentine Mini Pony (which is so cute, by the way, that I can hardly stand it) costs 26 Farm Cash, while the Heart Rabbit costs 12 Farm Cash. For those looking for a cute animal on a budget, it should be noted that the Heart Rabbit is the cheapest Valentine's Day-themed animal released thus far in the game.

The Valentine Mini Pony can be placed in your Horse Stable, and will produce a Mini Foal, as we told you in a Sneak Peek last week. If you choose to leave it out of your stable, though, you'll be able to harvest it once every three days to receive 84 coins each time. The Heart Rabbit, meanwhile, can be harvested every two days, and you'll earn 100 coins each time you collect your profits.

Both of these animals will be available to purchase in the marketplace for the next 18 days, giving Zynga plenty of time between now and their expiration date to add even more themed items to the store that fit in this lovey-dovey theme. We'll be sure to let you know if they decide to take advantage of that extra time.

FarmVille Valentine Buildings: Romantic Gazebo and Love Shack

In tonight's FarmVille update, we see the release of two new buildings in the limited edition Valentine's Day theme. Even though February hasn't even started, that hasn't stopped Zynga from causing the store to practically overflow with all manner of pink, purple, and red goodies, and when it comes to new Buildings, you now have two more to choose from.

Luckily, there's something here for both users that like to spend coins, and those that aren't afraid to spend some Farm Cash. For the latter group, you'll find that the Love Shack can be purchased for 20 Farm Cash, offering you 2,000 experience points as a bonus for your purchase. The building is purely decorative, but can be covered in snow and lights, if you unlocked the unlimited installations of those two decorative abilities back in the Winter Holiday season. However, if you're like me, you won't want to cover the item in snow, as it would then cover up the intricate tile-work and heart-shaped skylight that make up the roof.

Either way, if you're looking to instead save your Farm Cash, you can spend 200,000 coins on a new Romantic Gazebo. This Gazebo is a fairly small item, for those decorating only a small space, and it will reward you with 2,000 experience points for purchasing it. Also, while technically called a building, you can't decorate this one with snow and lights, so keep that in mind if it would affect your purchase decision.

Either way, you'll need to make up your mind about purchasing these items within the next 18 days, as they will expire and leave the store after that point. If you're like me though, you probably already have both sitting on your farm - they're that cute!

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day coverage right here.

Which of these two buildings do you prefer, or will you purchase them both?

FarmVille Valentine Decorations: Valentine Snowman, Valentine Teddy, Venus Gnome & More

Whether you love or hate Zynga, no one can say that the developer isn't offering ample opportunity for players to celebrate Valentine's Day in FarmVille. Not only has the store already started to shine with all shades of pink, purple, and red, but even more new items in the limited edition Valentine's Day theme have been released this evening - this time in the form of four new decorative items.

I have some good news and some bad news however. The good news is that users who only like to spend coins will have something to purchase, but the bad news is that it's only one item out of these four, as the other three are premium (read: Farm Cash only). The coin-only item is the Valentine Teddy, a large white teddy bear wearing a top hat and holding a rose. The Valentine Teddy costs 50,000 coins, and will reward you with 500 experience points for purchasing him.

Meanwhile, the Farm Cash items are those that we gave you a sneak peek of just a few days ago. They are the Romantic Coach (a horse-drawn carriage), the Valentine Snowman, and the Venus Gnome. At the time of our sneak peek, we didn't know how much these items would cost if they were ultimately released in the store (as they of course have been), but we now know that the Romantic Coach will set you back 18 Farm Cash, the Valentine Snowman costs 20 Farm Cash, and the Venus Gnome costs 12 Farm Cash.

All of these items offer an equivalent number of experience points based on the purchase price. That is, the Venus Gnome rewards 1200 experience points, as it costs 12 Farm Cash, and so on. Also, it should be noted that when you purchase the Valentine Snowman from the store, you are purchasing a complete, pink, male snowman. You won't need to built it from scratch like with the original white snowman - you'll simply receive this very festive, dancing snowman in one piece to add to your farm.

All of these limited edition decorations will be available in the game for the next 18 days. In that time, it's likely that Zynga will release even more themed items into the game, and you'll be the first to know if and when they do.

FarmVille Fairy Tale Theme Showcase 2 [Video]

While the first FarmVille Fairy Tale Showcase video did little to blow us away, Zynga's second video in the Fairy Tale showcase theme comes across a bit better, with many new items that we haven't seen before - not even in sneak peeks! As you can see in the video above, we have what looks to be a flying pig fountain, a magical mirror that floats above the ground, the Knight Gnome (which we have seen before), the Black Beauty Horse, a large tree (looks like it might be some kind of Willow tree), a lovely cottage with multi-colored trees, and more!

Maybe I'm just easily amused, but this looks like a great set of items, and I personally can't wait to add some of them to my farm. If you'd like to take a look at these items in action (items like the mirror and fountain do animate), be sure to check out the complete (but short) video above. We expect some of these items to release in the game as early as tomorrow, so keep checking back for that, as we'll make sure you're the first to know.

FarmVille English Countryside: Repair and expand the Horse Stable

As you make your way to your second farm in the FarmVille English Countryside, having made your way past Duke's Bon Voyage Party, one of the first things you'll notice on your new land is the rundown Horse Stable. While it's great that Zynga has given us the frame of the building for free, it is entirely useless in its current state, and you'll need to repair it if you want to actually store Horses in it.

This will take up just a few of your saved building parts, or Special Delivery Boxes that you might have been saving in preparation for the launch of the English Countryside, but don't worry, we'll find a place to put those extra parts in just a minute.

Meet us behind the break for more on how to repair this Horse Stable.

Luckily, you won't have to do much to complete the repairs on your Horse Stable (I guess Zynga was telling the truth when they said they wanted the expansion to be new-user friendly). You'll need just 10 Nails to finish the repair process, as you'll see that Zynga has already added the other 40 ingredients to the Horse Stable for you.

Once the Horse Stable has been completed, you'll be able to share a free Gray Horse with your friends, and you'll receive one of your own, so that you Horse Stable never has to sit empty. Its staring capacity is just 20 Horses, but as with the Horse Stable back on your Home Farm, this can be expanded. In this is where your excess building materials will come into play. Note: Expanding is entirely voluntary, so save your building parts if you wish to build other structures, like the Garage, first.

The first expansion will require a full 50 parts to complete: 10 each of Bricks, Harnesses, Horseshoes, Nails, and Wooden Boards. This is the exact same setup as the Horse Stable expansions back on your Home Farm, as you will need to, more or less, collect enough building ingredients to build a Horse Stable from scratch just to expand. You'll be able to store 10 more Horses when this is done. It's presumable that a second expansion will be available after the first, containing the same requirements, and adding another 10 spots of inventory to your Horse Stable, just as with the original Horse Stable on your Home Farm.

Here's a rundown of ways to get more of these ingredients, if you don't have any saved in your inventory:

- Click on the "Ask for More" button under each ingredient and send individual requests for items to friends
- Purchase these ingredients for 1 Farm Cash each
- Use Special Delivery Boxes which will reward you with the parts you need
- Have friends send these to you from the free gifts page
- Look for wall posts giving away excess parts as your friends complete building projects on their own farms

If you'd like to quickly stock your Horse Stable with new Horses, remember that your gift box can be used on both your Home Farm and your English Farm. If you collect from the Nursery Barn on your Home Farm, as an example, and one of your foals grows into a Horse, you can take that Horse with you to England and place it in this Horse Stable. You can also purchase some Horses (even some English Horses) from the store. Your Horse Stable can be harvested once per day.

Have you completed the repairs to your Horse Stable on your second farm, or are you still waiting for the update to roll around to your account?

FarmVille English Countryside: Build and expand the Sheep Pen

One of the most hotly anticipated new features in the English Countryside expansion in FarmVille is the ability to breed sheep. You'll receive two free, plain white sheep (not specifically Ewes or Rams) for free when you start working on your second farm, but if you'd like to jump into Sheep Breeding itself, you'll first need to build the Sheep Pen in which to house them.

The Sheep Pen is available to purchase from the store for 5,000 coins. For that price, you'll receive just the frame, which must be built up with building materials: 10 each of Wooden Boards, Nails, and Bricks. Most of you will have saved up more than enough of these materials in preparation for your trip to England, but if not, you can meet us behind the break for a guide on how to earn more building ingredients, and how to continue your work on building the Sheep Pen.


Once you build the Sheep Pen, you'll have a new building that can hold 20 Sheep, Ewes, or Rams by default. This building can be expanded twice, adding 10 more storage slots with each expansion, to a total capacity of 40 sheep. Both of these expansion require more building ingredients for the last, but remember, expanding right now is an entirely voluntary process. Once you have room to store 20 sheep, you can freely use those extra building ingredients to build things like the Horse Stable or Garage.

If you choose to expand, your first expansion of the Sheep Pen requires 15 each of Wooden Boards, Nails, and Bricks, while the second (and final expansion as of this writing) requires 20 of each part.

Here's a rundown of where to get extra building ingredients, should you not have enough on hand (or have used them elsewhere):

- Purchase them for 1 Farm Cash each
- Click on the "Ask for Part" button and send individual requests to friends for ingredients
- Open Special Delivery Boxes which can contain the parts you need
- Look out for wall posts from your friends that share excess building parts as they complete their own buildings on their farm(s)
- Have friends send you these ingredients from the free gifts page

While you can use your Sheep Pen just a storage building, remember that you can also use it to breed sheep. We'll have a full guide on that feature for you in the near future, so keep checking back. Check our full guide to Sheep Breeding right here.

Will you build the Sheep Pen in your English Countryside, or would you rather have a similar animal building on your Home Farm?

FarmVille English Countryside: Sheep Breeding Guide

Once you build your FarmVille Sheep Pen in your second farm in the English Countryside, you'll likely want to go to work breeding sheep within it (as that has been one of the most heavily publicized features of the entire expansion). To do this, you'll first need to build a Sheep Pen, which is available to purchase from the market for 5,000 coins. Check out our guide to not only building the Sheep Pen from scratch, but also expanding it to its full capacity of 40 Sheep.

Once that's done, you'll be shown a detailed overview of what to expect from the Sheep Breeding process, which you can see at the top of this post. First and foremost, you'll of course need to first have Sheep inside the Sheep Pen so that you can breed them. From there, the process becomes a bit complicated, with some light genetics coming into play, as you'll be able to greatly influence what your Lambs will look like once they are born.

Meet us behind the break for a more detailed look at this new feature.


As of this very early release, it looks as though the easiest way to add Ewes and Rams to your Sheep Pen is to purchase them for the store (they will also be rewarded by completing quests on your English farm). Right now, there are two Ewes (Navy and Pastel Pink) to choose from, and a single Ram (Purple Dots). As you can see, the Ram is the item with the interesting pattern, while the two Ewes are simply a single color (no matter how outlandish that might be). This is important to note as this is the main way you'll be able to tell what your Lams will look like.

No matter what color the Ram's body might be, any Lamb that you create will grow to have their mother's (the Ewe or Sheep you used) color. The sheep, once grown, will have the father's wool pattern. That being the case, let's say you took a Navy Ewe and the Purple Dots Ram from the store and bred them. You'd then end up with a Lamb that would mostly likely grow into a Navy Sheep with Purple Dots. We say most likely as there is apparently a small chance for slight variations in the resulting lambs, which can't be guaranteed or predicted.

To actually breed two sheep, you'll need to place them in your Sheep Pen, and then click on one that you'd like to breed. These can either be Ewes or simply "Sheep," which appear to all be technically female. You'll be able to click on the "Breed" button to see which Rams that Ewe or Sheep is compatible with. Click on the its mate and click "Breed" again to start the process.

From there, you'll have a new window, which shows you that the time to breed a new lamb is 24 hours. Each attempt at breeding only comes with a 50% success rate, but you can increase the chance for success by adding Love Potions to the equation. You'll be able to ask your friends to send you potions by clicking on the "Ask for Potions" button in the lower left corner of the Sheep Pen's menu. This is achieved via a general wall post, rather than individual requests. You can also purchase Love Potions in packs of 5 for 5 Farm Cash.

Each Love Potion used creates a higher chance of successful breeding, and lowers the time required to wait for the sheep to breed. Here's a rundown:

- 1 Love Potion: 60% success rate; breeding completed in 12 hours
- 2 Love Potions: 70% success rate; breeding completed in 6 hours
- 3 Love Potions: 80% success rate; breeding completed in 3 hours
- 4 Love Potions: 90% success rate; breeding completed in 1 hour
- 5 Love Potions: 100% success rate; breeding completes instantly

Your two chosen animals will then go into one of the three breeding stalls in your Sheep Pen, where they will "do their business" until the timer is up. You'll need to apply all or none of your Love Potions before setting the two animals to breed, as you can't interrupt them in the middle.

If your breeding attempt is successful, you'll be told that you've received either a boy or a girl Lamb. You'll be able to name each Lamb you successfully receive, and will need to feed the Lamb 10 Baby Bottles to grow it into an adult. Placing the Lamb on your land will allow you to click on the Lamb and choose "Ask for Bottles" from the drop down menu, allowing you to collect the Bottles you need from friends.

Here are other methods of collecting Bottles:

- Purchase Bottles for 1 Farm Cash each
- Ask friends to send you Bottles from the game's free gifts page

Once fully fed, your Lamb will grow into either a full Ram or Sheep, showing off its new color and wool pattern. It should be noted that you can either keep the Lamb or Give it Away if you'd rather not grow it at all, or know a friend that would like a particular color of Lamb but can't breed it themselves.

Right now, you'll have to keep track of your own color combinations, noting which ones you've used and what the resulting Lambs looked like, but a "Family Tree" feature is coming soon that will allow you track the Genealogy of your Sheep on your land. There are apparently prizes for those that become "Master Sheep Breeders," so keep that in mind if you're questioning whether or not this feature is worthwhile to you.

FarmVille English Countryside: Dairy Farm and Chicken Coop

FarmVille English Countryside: Dairy Farm and Chicken Coop

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Mar 23rd 2011 2:22PM
After you've likely spent all of your reserves of FarmVille building ingredients working on the Sheep Pen, Horse Stable, and Garage in the English Countryside, you'll be happy to know that two other animal buildings require no building materials whatsoever, giving you a break from the "building," as it were.

These two buildings are the Dairy Farm and the Chicken Coop, which are available to purchase in their completed forms from the English Countryside Marketplace. The Chicken Coop is the cheaper of the two buildings, costing 5,000 coins to purchase. It is limited to one Chicken Coop per user, meaning that in total, across both farms, you'll only be able to own two Chicken Coops - one on your Home Farm, and one in England.

Meet us behind the break for a further look at the Chicken Coop, and all of the details you need to know about the Dairy Farm.

The Chicken Coop comes with a Level 1, regular white Chicken when you purchase it, and has a total capacity of 20 Chickens by default. This can be expanded by clicking on the Chicken Coop, clicking on "Expand Storage," and then waiting for that familiar Storage Menu to appear on your screen.

From there, click on "Expand," and you'll post a news item to your wall, asking your friends to help you with your Barn Raising - you'll need 10 friends to help in a three day time period to expand the Chicken Coop from 20 to 40 Chickens in capacity. A second expansion is possible, taking the Chicken Coop to 60 Chickens in total.

The same expansion technique works for the Dairy Barn, but of course you'll have to purchase it first. This can be done in the game's store for 10,000 coins. As with Dairy Farms on your Home Farm, you aren't limited to just one Dairy Barn here, and can purchase more, if you feel the need to house more than the default of 20 Cows on your farm.


Unfortunately, the Dairy Farm does not come with an inhabitant for the purchase price, but there are some Cows available in the game's store right now - even some in the current English Countryside theme. Each time you expand the Dairy Barn, you'll be able to add 10 spaces for Cows in a single Dairy Farm, until you reach the maximum of 40.

Remember to keep a lookout for Mystery Eggs on your news feed to potentially receive free Chickens, and keep your Nursery Barn stocked with Calves to increase your chances of receiving Cows when they grow. Even if you receive Chickens and Cows on your Home Farm, they will go into your Gift Box and can easily be transferred to your English Countryside, and these new animals buildings.

Check out the rest of our English Countryside coverage right here.

Have you purchased both of these buildings for your English farm, or are you saving all of your animals for your Home Farm?

FarmVille English Countryside Make it Your Own Quest: Everything you need to know

Once you land in the English Countryside in FarmVille, you'll be asked to help repair this once bustling farm, which has fallen into a horrible state of disrepair. Crops have withered, the Horse Stable is barely standing, and the place has definitely seen better days. Your first official quest on your new farm is called "Make it Your Own," and will see you completing just two tasks.

Get 6 Postcards
Plow 10 Plots

It doesn't matter how you plow these plots - you could plow over the withered crops that you've been given from the start, plow over the fallow land that dots your farm, or plow ten entirely new plots of land. All will work to complete this quest. As for the Postcards, you'll need to post a general request to your wall asking your friends to send you some. You can skip this step for 7 Farm Cash, if you didn't spend all of your Farm Cash traveling to the English Countryside in the first place.

Your rewards for finishing this first quest are 100 XP, 1,500 coins, and a Dorking Chicken. The Chicken can be placed inside your Chicken Coop, should you have purchased one for your land already.

Check out the rest of our English Countryside coverage right here.
