So if you’re interested in joining in on the fun, and living out that secret ambition to be a farmer, here’s a guide for Farm Town to help you get started. With this guide, you’ll learn how to play Farm Town, how to play on Facebook, and some tips to be a successful farmer.

Learning how to play to play Farm Town is very easy. It’s a simple point-and-click interface. While this guide for Farm Town will not go into detail into how to play Farm Town in regards to the actual controls, but this Facebook farm town guide will show you the ins and outs of playing the game.

The object of the game in Farm Town is to run a profitable farm by selling crops to the marketplace. As you start the game, you create your character, and they plant, (forgive my pun,) you on your own farm. You start out with a few potato fields and land that needs to be plowed in order to grow crops on it. The reason they start you off with potatoes is because they harvest quickly, (they’re usually ready within a day or so,) and they turn a pretty good profit. You also receive 500 coins to bankroll your farm’s day-to-day operations.

One of the most important keys to success in this game is harvesting your crops before they get a chance to rot. Just like on a real farm, if you don’t harvest your crops they will ripen and rot right in your fields, the same applies to Farm Town. This will result in a loss in your investment of plowing and planting your fields. Remember, the goal of the game is to make money on your farm. They even have option to have the game email you whenever your crops are ready to be harvested. Obviously, the type of crop affects how fast it’s ready to harvest and how fast it begins to rot. For instance, grapes are a terrible crop choice for the casual player, because they’re ready to harvest in anywhere from 4-7 hours. So if you login only once per day, your grapes will rot before you ever get the chance to harvest them.

Getting around in Farm Town is very easy, a simple point and click will take you where you want to go. Aside from visiting other player’s farms, you can go to the market, the bank, and to the inn. The bank is for the serious players, as it’s where you can actually pay real money for more coins, via paypal. (If only you could do this the other way around.) This is purely an optional feature as success in the game does not hinge solely on this. At the Inn you can chat and interact with other players. Learning how to play on Facebook is actually very important to your success as a player. With successful social interaction, you can hire people as farm hands, so you don’t have to devote your time to watching your crops. The market is where you money is spent and made. You can hire farm hands to help you around the farm, as well as lend your own services for hire, and sell your crops. I recommend using the harvest and storage option, as you will always get a steady price for your crops.

You can level up by selling and growing crops, visiting other people’s farms, and doing work as a farm hand on other players farms. I recommend visit the maximum number of farms that you can daily to get your hands on the free experience points. By reaching higher levels in the game, you can grow different varieties of crops, expand your farm, and make more money. This guide for Farm Town will help you to level up by following the tips and tricks laid out here, you now know how to play on Facebook.
