Almost everyone on Facebook has been raving about the mini interactive game called Farm Town, I myself am one of those people. In the game you are able to buy and plant crops, then have your "neighbors" harvest them. You are also able to buy trees, flowers, buildings, and animals. It really is a fun little game.
You start out with a standard piece of land and a little bit of money. Everytime you log onto your farm, you win a daily lottery, it could be worth 20 coins or as many as 500 coins. That helps you out a little bit more. Another way to get your farm started is to have your Facebook friends play the same game and be your "neighbors". They are able to send you trees, flowers, and animals. The tree can be harvested and you can make money, but the flowers and animals are not worth anything.
When you get enough money you are able to buy plowed land and crops to plant. For instance you can buy Grapes for like 20 coins and it take aprox. 4 hours to harvest, you then come back and harvest them to get more money. There are like 15 different crops to harvest, but you have to unlock them when you level up. Also instead of harvesting or plowing your crops yourself you can go to the market and hire a live person who wants to make money to do it. It doesn't cost you anything to hire someone to harvest, but it does cost you 15 coins to have someone plow for you.You can also go to the market to work if you want to make money. Just click on the market tab and when you get there ask people to hire you. It is easier for you to get a job when you are at a lower level than it is when you are at level 25. I believe the highest level is 30, that's when you unlock everything.
You can eventually pay to upgrade your farm to make it bigger. Some of the structures you can buy are cottages, farm houses, mansions, barns, windmills, dog houses and other things. You can buy or your neighbors can send you cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows, llamas, geese, chickens, and other animals. Your friends can send you 2 gifts a day, one in the morning and one at night. It helps out a lot when your neighbors send you gifts.
Obviously the time frame for the crops to harvest is unrealistic, but there are so many realistic features about this game. It is highly adictive and a lot of fun. There is so much more to the game that I have left out, you have to go check it out yourself!
