Farm Town
Farming How do I plant crops in my farm? To plant crops you need to till the ground using the Plow Tool (Hoe icon) . After the field is tilled, you can go to the Store and purchase seeds for crops you want to plant, then with the seed bag selected, click on the tilled fields to sow. Note: You are only charged for seeds when you actually click on the plot to sow them. How do I harvest crops and trees? Once a planted field is ready to be harvested, use the Harvest Tool (scythe icon) and click on the field or tree to be harvested. Every time you harvest you are given the option to sell your harvests right there from your farm, or to collect them and place them in storage. If you sell the harvests from your farm, you earn less coins than if you place them in storage and go to sell them at the marketplace. How do I put down the plowing tool once I am finished? Click on the button with the Walking Symbol or the Harvesting Scythe to deactivate the plowing tool.
Flowers How do I water my flowers? Click on the toolbox on the lower right-hand menu and select the watering can from the pop-up menu. Move the green square that appears over the flowers you would like to water. Hold down the mouse button, not simply click (you don’t have to hold it down too long though) to activate the watering process. All the flowers beneath the square will be watered, and 1 coin will be deducted for each flower/plant watered within that square. This process will fill all the raindrops regardless of how many drops were empty when you started. Do flowers die if not watered? Flowers do “die” if they aren’t watered at least once every three farm town days (a farm town day is 20 hours long). As soon as you water them again they come back to life. How long does it take for flowers to be fully grown? The flowers take about 3 days till they are fully grown and are in full bloom. Do I earn experience points for watering flowers on my farm or a neighbours farm? You do not earn experience points when watering flowers. Why can I not see the flowers…
Farm Town Gifts How do I send gifts to my Farm Town Facebook Friends only? There is a Farmer Friends Tab in the middle between the All Friends and Facebook Friends tabs. When you have clicked on a gift and have proceeded to send the item these options will appear. The Farmer Friends list will show all those people who are your Facebook Friends who all have the Farm Town app loaded (these are your neighbours in Farm Town). How many gifts can I send per day? The current limit is around 28 (this is determined by Facebook and may change on a daily basis). You can send a gift to the same friend twice during the space of a day (AM & PM) e.g. you can send 14 gifts to 12 friends in the morning and then again to the same friends in the afternoon, or 28 gifts to different friends once a day. Gift requests reset at 12am PST (you then have a full 24-hours from that period to send your daily allotment within).

Items on Farm Town Why won’t my animals stay in the pens I made using the fence pieces? Bear in mind that a small pen e.g. 1×1 is not big enough for a lot of animals and they won’t remain in there. Make sure that your fence pieces connect properly. You can also use the perimeter of your farm as outer fencing, which also gives you more yardage. If you animals still escape you can use hay bales where the fences connect to stop them from getting out. How do I rotate the fencing? You cannot turn them manually but each piece you buy in the Store goes in a certain direction (one horizontal and one vertical – that is how you build your fences) What are the bales of hay, barrels and other items available for purchase for? At this point in time they are just for decoration. The bales of hay might be used to feed the animals at some point in the game. When I click on a tree I get a “Send as a Gift” option – what does that do? This does not send the actual tree you have clicked on. It merely redirects you…
