It sounds as though you are having a blast. I envy you, you catch on so much faster than I do. I am still trying to figure out how to send someone a drink. Vique.

Oh sweetie, you lost me. My game speed is Bubble Shooter, LOL, or the elusive Train Game.

I think you have a wonderful life! Enjoy.

Cherryfizz you have me creased up with laughter! Keep enjoying your 'farm'!
From one facebook farmer to another...lol!

Karen UK

I wana play....but I recently canceled my facebook....

patti

Sounds like too much work for me!
Have fun!

Anne, I got dizzy just reading about your farming chores! Keep at it though, you might run across a farmer with a password HK.

Vique, I am at least as smart as the average bear, but I can not understand Facebook!. I send messages to my "friends" and get no response. I even send them emails telling I sent a FB message, and still no response. Think they are trying to tell me something? But they invited me~~

Patt1, I'm thinking I might be doing the same thing before long.

Sue

That sounds like such fun! I don't want to join though because I may not want to leave.

Sounds like you are having fun. I joined FB but I never went back! LOL Guess I'm gonna look at it again.

Sounds like fun but maybe time consuming.
I enjoy playing Bejeweld Blitz on FB.
Have fun :-)
Deb

Can I be your friend on Facebook? I took a look for Farm Town as I would like to give it a go, but I can't seem to find it.....quizzes and such, but not the game/application itself.

Jane

You sound like you're having a great time. I don't have time to play, but I find the concept of Farm Town greatly amuses me. I believe there's another applications where you make cities- I can't remember what it's called. I think it's great for people who do have the luxury to spend time on these things. That's the great thing about facebook. You can spend as much or as little time as you want on it, and you can use different applications if you want, and ignore them if you want. There's something for everyone.

Jane, go up to the search box in the upper right corner and type in Farm Town, it will come up. I'm also a farmer, I LOVE the game and am addicted already. I'd love to be ya'lls neighbors, search for me and send me a friend request or make me a buddy, however we can do it! Ginger Pippin and my avatar is my son standing in front of a sunset over the ocean.

I'm on Farmtown but don't get too much done at a time. My grandkids love it and keep sending me oodles of gifts. My DD in on also and they have lovely farms with all the nice stuff. Mine is still kind of mediocre but I like it.

Thanks everyone, I've found it. Can't play it now, have family arriving tomorrow for a wedding. I'll get to it in a few days. I'm cjd63 on there too, in the game at least.

lol You have me laughing. My daughter and most of my relatives are doing farming via Facebook. Would you believe I got a message from my sister saying "Would you please water my crops at the farm while I'm away, I don't want to lose them. Off my little avatar went to her farm and it was ENORMOUS!!! I even bought her a tree for her coming home gift. lol.

I've been invited by two people to join farm town, but I haven't gone there yet. Sounds interesting.:o)

I play Farm Town, on facebook, also.
It got to be too time consuming, so now, I have a tree farm. No plowing, and planting. I just need to harvest fruit once in awhile.

I love it. I don't have the luxury of spending a lot of time on it during the day but when I can't sleep at night it gives me something to do. I am starting to plant crops that take longer to grow so I don't have to be there as much.

Patti I think you would love Farm Town. I thought you would like Facebook because there are some good games on the MindJolt application and I know you like playing games.

My niece joined today and called me up to ask me to come on the computer to her farm so I could show her what to do. On the forum there is a lot of information for someone who is just beginning.

I am new to computers so all this stuff amazes me. With webtv I couldn't do anything like this.

It's entertainment that I don't have to spend money on to enjoy.

My grass got cut, visited with family and now I just came on line. Farm Town will be there when I wake up in the middle of the night. Kind of neat because then I get to meet people from other parts of the world even if it is just to say thank you.

I just think it is a hoot especially when someone talks to you and your words come out in a bubble on top of your head like comics. Always makes me laugh. I laugh the most when I go to the market to hire workers.

Spending time on the computer playing games or visiting forums is just like everything else. Real life always comes first.

Anne

I am another confirmed Farm Town addict. All my "neighbors" and I joke about how addicting this game can be. It is a very fun game and you can choose how much time you spend on it based on what types of crops you plant.

I was so excited when they started selling flowers this past weekend. LOL!!! I just reached level 30 so now I can buy the gazebo for my farm town yard!

Gotta go. Time to check on my crops! =)

If you get busy and don't show up for a few days...do all your crops and animals die????

patti

Animals don't die but your crops may shrivel up. If you know you have plans you just don't plant crops. Some crops are 3 day crops - then it would be another couple of days before they shrivel up. I don't do big scale plantings like some people do. I plant in small plots and vary the types of crops - 1, 2 and 3 days. I was busy on the weekend so I planted 3 days crops. Nothing has to be done with the animals. They can wander or be fenced in. The perimeter of your land acts like a fence.

Anne

I searched for Farm Town and came up with at least 3 pages
of apps named Farm Town. Which one do I want to join.

Sounds like a really fun game. Can you raise cows instead of vegetables?

Pooh Bear

It sounds like a great stress reliever. I'm glad you're having so much fun with it.

Pooh Bear, if you just do a search in the upper right search window I think all you find are groups dedicated to discussing Farm Town.
You should be able to search for the application/game itself from the FB application page -- in the lower left corner of your FB screen, click on Applications, Browse More Applications, then Games in the list on the left.

LOL, this really does sound fun. Some bulldog forum friends were talking about it a couple months ago when there were some problems on the Farmtown site and it was so fun hearing about all their crops and such.

I tried to join last night to check it out but they didn't like my name. LMAO... guess they're prejudiced against Coconuts. Kidding somewhat, I think it's actually my last name they had the problem with. It has a capital letter in the middle of it and that seems incorrect to most people. I had to email them and tell them it was my real name. Haven't heard back yet. Smiles. I've always wanted to be a farmer. I even loved it in High School when all the base kids called all of us farmers who weren't base kids. Even those of us in the tiny towns. LOL.. It made me mad because I really wanted to live on a farm. Still do for that matter. I'm gonna be 61 in August. Do ya think it's too late? Maybe Farmtown will help, if they let me on FB.

Anne....I can't find where to look for you...help me, help me....

Yes, Anne, it all started with a Sheep. For me it started with a pear tree. Diane & Eva are my Farmtown friends also. Are you in the KT Group? I'll look for you.

Oh, look at the time! I must go harvest my grapes...

sooey
Farmer Sue

Patti, did you try to find me on Facebook? I sent you an email last night with my email address and name so you could search Facebook for me and send me a friend request. Do you belong to the Kitchen Table group on Facebook-you will find me there too. Just send me a Facebook friend request and I will add you as a neighbour on Farm Town. I don't know how to link with a computer or I would send you my FB link in an email.

I couldn't find you on Facebook - too many people with your name. LOL Send me an email with the email address you signed up with on Facebook and I will see if I can find you that way.

Sooey, yes I am on the Kitchen Table Group. I love looking at everyone's farms to see how they do it. I am not so creative as some people are. LOL

Anne

Patti, if you do a search for me on Facebook the picture I use is a black and white picture of my Mom holding me when I was a baby just in case there are others with my name. My network is Detroit.

Anne

I found it. Looks like fun if I can ever figure it out.

Pooh Bear

Several years ago our DGSs had the SIMS computer game, Sim City and Sim Park. I got started on Sim Park and I was up all night because weeds were taking over the lake and the trees caught on fire and the animals were dieing out.

It was either impossible to leave it or (very likely) i couldn't figure out how to pause it.

This Farm Town sounds very much like that game and I don't know if I dare even try it. I need my sleep!

Besides i just registered at Facebook two nights ago and I have no idea what to do with it or how to do anything.

I have always hung out at the Kitchen Table, and this site is so easy to figure out that I really didn't learn much about navigating a site. Over there I felt SO computer illeterate!

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying farming. LOL Are you all dressed in overalls? (snicker)

I am addicted to that game.
I heard about it from someone that said she was hoooked on to this game. I didn't belong to facebook so didn't know about it.

Then I got talked into joining and next thing I know that person invited me and there I became a farmer.

I found out after I had been harvesting my own crops that you get more money if you hire from the market.

Of if you are like so many that they have their spouses that have a farm too and so they hire each other and then friends too. You will find that they go up really fast doing that.

I worked sweat and blood, didn't buy coins why? spend your money in buying coins, earn them.

Also its important to have lots of neigbhours too so you can go up in levels that way too.
And you not only receive gifts from neigbhours but also you send them out too. That is important too.

Yes, its nice to have ones that can send you things that you can't get or buy as there are only a few trees you can buy and to get the others you need neigbhours to send them too.

Also the new things that have come out makes it even more interesting and fun to get to those levels to buy them.

I am on level 28. I worked very hard, I even had to sell animal to earn money. Also when you click my neighbours, they will at times have you go and tend and visit them and so you earn money that way. I did it that way.

I wasn't getting jobs, then I got tiny bit, got one job that I reliazed why spouses and friends were so far ahead and had tons of things on their farms because they were making huge money from them.

As I have the full size farm, you have tons of crops that come in and so people get to know when you go to the market to hire.

I like to not touch my trees as they don't rot and the fruit on them are so colourful and makes it pretty on the farm.

But last night once more this gal wouldn't leave them alone and I kept saying do not touch my trees and she couldn't care less and kept on. I finally clicked ignore and vanished her. And then again in my storage shed where the harvests go into I sold those and then found number one and again another tree harvested. I went huh? Then I got upset and tired and bad day yesterday and logged off of facebook. Came back on and guess what? Another number one in storage shed, more fruit trees again harvested.

I didn't like it and to be so rude and disrespectful to do that to my trees.

They had huge crops to harvest and so they didn't have to touch my trees. They earned plenty with the crops alone.

I had my trees done when I had small farms as I needed the money desperately to plow and seed as that costs money to do.

I found out about the wrench icon on top of page on right side and click on it and got lots of things on it.

You can hide your trees and buildings as then you can do crops underneath them that way, more land to use.

Also checking out farms, I wondered how they had their crops together without the spaces that I did. Same wrench icon I found out stopped the spaces and so got more put in that way. You can freeze your animals.

Its fun as the farm sizes grow for you in figuring out your farm the way you like it. Its your personally.

Its fun checking out other farms to get ideas and see what they are at and have on it. I love how some really get creative with their crops and spell things,etc. and patterns too. Wow!

Also you can do buddies, that is useful when you go to harvest as you will find out you will get booted off here and there. YOu will be busy harvesting for someone and then next thing you know you are booted off and can't get back. But if you made them your buddy you can click on buddy list and click on their farm by their name and get back. Its happening alot especially with huge farms.

Also if they hire too many to harvest their farms, that will happen alot then.

I will try to hire 3 people when all my crops are ready to harvest.

Watch out for the hoggers, some are so fast in harvesting crops and others like me are slow at harvesting.

I had this guy that was buzzing bad in the market and I got hired and went good, got away from him and I have this area to harvest that I picked and was enjoying myself and relaxed and then next thing I knew this guy too my harvests. I was upset with him hogging like that.

He had already done tons and didn't need to take the bit I had too.

Warning its addicting if you sign up to facebook and get invited to play it.

Be warned too the larger size farm, the more you have to work on it.

One thing is by that time you can buy all the seeds you want of all in the store. Pumpkins take 4 days, onions are 3 days and for me they take too long. Peas I like they take 2 days. And then there are ones that are 2 to one day.

I was told to buy potato seeds so that way you have them coming in daily.

Do not buy when you start out anything in the store as you need all the money for your plowing and seeds.

Unless you are wanting to spend your own money and buy coins to buy stuff.

I find its better and nicer to earn them the good ole' hard way by working hard to get up there and to earn the money yourself. It took me forever to buy the white farmhouse which costs 300,000. And I just bought a barn and silo. And the new things that came in I have been buying. Also loving the flowers too that finally have come in. We have been waiting forever for those to come in.

I thought the pig was so cute too as its so funny all of a sudden it will fall over on its side sleeping. Too funny.

You can click on the animals and the dog will scratch, wag its tail and other animals do things too.

It also took me forever to buy the small pond. First came the white farm house.

Now the new things are so cheap to buy. I love the river and bridges.

Pathways, I blew all my money on dirt pathways as I was building them up around the farm and each time it grew in size, had to buy some more.

Enjoy and hope you can work on it so you grow fast to get up to that large size farm and buy so many things that you can't when you are on the smaller sizes.

Kathleen, I don't like when people harvest my trees either but my computer is so slow that they have already done them before I have even seen they are gone and have already sent out my request not to. LOL

I go to the market to sell my harvest and get hired and now I know to go offline or press the green plug at the top so nobody will see me at the market. I usually end up getting hired by someone with a huge farm and my computer has to reload or the server times out and I end up doing nothing. I feel bad for the person who hired me but I explain in the chat box if I disappear or don't harvest it is because my computer is slow. I would love the coins harvesting someone else's farm if I could do it. I am going to go to the market to look for a job and ask someone with a normal sized farm to hire me. I am saving for a house you know. LOL
