Zynga’s FarmVille has over 67.8 million monthly active users. So we decided to look into what works for all the country tycoons out there. Keep in mind, however, that this is an online game and everything is subject to change, but thus far, the following tips and tricks have proven most useful.
Tip #1 – Knowing What To Buy
Frankly, what you purchase is of crucial importance. Remember, that you do not have a lot of real estate on your farm, so it is wise to think conservatively in regards to what you place where. Granted, you do need decorations for certain Ribbons (achievements), but you can just as easily get them using smaller items such as rest tents or bales of hay. That said, however, these don’t make much money, so it may be wiser to use the space for items that can bring you income.
Discovered on myfivebest.com, here is a very useful break down of what trees and animals to buy. Now, trees don’t make you much money, but they provide steady income (as you only buy once and they produce indefinitely). Ideally, you want to only keep what produces over one coin an hour (though 0.5 coins per hour is okay). The Top 5 trees and animals are listed below:
Now, the aforementioned items were generally passive. However, crops are the backbone of earning and experience gain in FarmVille. We looked around some more and found a website called The Modern Hippy Male. Disregarding the curious name, we did find a useful and recent break down of the best crops to buy for income and for experience. Here are the Top 5 for each:
Okay, so here’s another trick to help you. Be forewarned, it is expensive, but it will get you leveled quicker if you have the money. This one was found on Gameolosophy.com and did prove rather useful while funds lasted. Start by plowing 10 plots of land and planting them all with soybeans. Then… just delete them all and repeat. It costs 300 coins but earns three experience per plot. Expensive, yes, but very quick in the leveling department. Of course, you don’t have to use 10 plots either, any number will work; ten is just a nice round number.
Trick #2 – Super Gifts
Here’s an interesting one that seems to still be working. Evidently, it is possible to send multiple gifts to the same person in the same day. Using the Firefox browser, go to the “Free Gifts” tab. Then right-click and open “Free Gifts” in a new tab (we tried it with 10 total tabs). Select a gift in each tab, select a person to send them too, then when you have the “Send” prompt on every page, quickly cycle through and send them. If done correctly, they will receive them all, and guess what, they can sell them for coin, and if they send gifts back, so can you. Please note, however, that this may not always work and you will sometimes get errors. It also tends to work better during non-primetime hours.
Again, all of this is subject to change, but if you have any useful tips or tricks, by all means, let us know.

Top Five Earning Trees Per Hour:- Acai: 2.29 coins/hour
- Olive: 1.67 coins/hour
- Date: 0.95 coins/hour
- Pomegranate: 0.90 coins/hour
- Banana: 0.78 coins/hour
Top Five Earning Animals Per Hour:Overall, these are the items to stick with, though the animals should only be kept to the horse and goat. The only exception to either of these lists is the Cherry Tree and Chicken. The former helps a great deal getting the Ribbon(s) “Knock on Wood” and the latter is extremely small, produces fast, and helps to get the “Zoologist” Ribbon(s).
- Horse: 1.17 coins/hour
- Goat: 1.13 coins/hour
- Duck: 0.94 coins/hour
- Sheep (Black): 0.78 coins/hour
