Getting Started with Farmville by Zynga

After making your avatar, the next logical step is to add neighbors to your farm. Many of your family and friends on Facebook probably already play it, so go ahead and send them invites to be your neighbor. You are able to visit your friend’s farm to help out with tasks and earn money for your farm. You are also able to send your friends a Farmville gift once every six hours.

Next, you will want to start plowing your field and creating as many plowable plots as you can. Then, plant some seeds to earn some Farmville coins to later spend on items for your farm. When you plow and plant on your farm, you will also gain experience points to help you level up. Make sure to come back to your farm in the specified time on your seeds to harvest it before it withers. Harvesting it before it withers is where you earn the coins.

Then once you have some neighbors, coins, and some more levels, you should go ahead and expand your farm to be able to have a larger farm so you can add in more farming spots, places for animals, trees, and buildings.

Once you are level 25, you are able to start a spa, bakery, or winery. This is another area where you can gain lots of fuel from making products, and also selling those products to friends (who also use it for fuel). This is a big aid in helping your farm, and should be used as soon as possible.

Depending on how you like to play Farmville by Zynga, you can choose to have more animals, crops, trees, or a mixture of all three. Have fun earning ribbons, completing mastery levels, and gaining more levels and earning more coins !
