FarmVille 2 introduces weekly County Fair event

There are two very good reasons to grow your own vegetables. One, It’s satisfying to eat food that you’ve planted, raised, and picked yourself. Two, you can grow stupidly huge tomatoes and show them off to your neighbors. Even FarmVille 2 is set to grant you bragging rights with the County Fair, a new weekly event that lets players put their best crops on display.

Starting this week, FarmVille 2 players level 20 and above can travel to the County Fair (tractors, stick to the right lane). There, they can compare their foodstuffs side-by-side with their friends’. Players are awarded points and medals according to how well they grow their prized crops. At the end of the week, if they’ve done exceptional work compared to their pals, they can take home special bonuses and rewards.
If you’re a FarmVille 2 player, make sure you visit the fair. And if you see a grey spider suspended over a pig pen, don’t go smashing her with a fly swatter.

FarmVille 2 Southern Living Workshop Recipes: Everything you need to know


The new Southern Living item theme in FarmVille 2 has expanded out into the game's Crafting Workshop this week, as players can now create three items using the plants that are available to purchase in the store. We're here with a complete guide to these three new crafting recipes, which will be available for crafting for the next three weeks.

The first recipe is the Magnolia Bouquet, which is made using two Wool Bolts and eight Magnolia. The Wool Bolts are created using Wool from Sheep, while the Magnolias are earned by tending Magnolia Trees. These are available to purchase in the store for 12 Farm Bucks each, and a single tree can be harvested once every 18 hours. If you don't want to spend the Farm Bucks to purchase this tree yourself, you can also tend your friends' trees for a chance to earn some that way. Creating a single Bouquet gives you 25 XP, and you'll be able to sell it in the market for 3,990 coins.


The second recipe is for the Magnolia Wreath. This recipe requires eight more Magnolias, along with two Wool Thread Spindles to create. A single Wool Thread Spindle is made using Wool from both Rabbits and Sheep. Creating these Wreaths gives you 22 XP each, and you can sell a single Wreath for 3,460 coins.


The final recipe in this trio is the Indigo Bouquet. This recipe is made using one Wool Bolt and 12 Indigo per batch. The Indigo can be planted for 34 coins per square and harvested after four hours. You'll receive 17 XP for each one of these Indigo Bouquets you create, and you can sell each one for 2,500 coins in the store.

Again, these recipes will only be available for around the next 27 days, while the Magnolia Trees and Indigo crop are only available in the store for the next 20 days. Make sure to stock up on these items to earn as many coins as you can from these recipes!

FarmVille 2: Grow Prized Crops for the County Fair, coming soon


A new and potentially game changing update is set to launch in FarmVille 2 this week, as the County Fair will soon begin rolling out to farmers that have reached at least Level 20 in Zynga's second farming Facebook game.

With the launch of the County Fair, Prized Crops will become more important than they've ever been before. As players harvest Prized Crops on their farm (those crops that appear after you've harvested fertilized "normal" crops), they'll earn points that help to fill the County Fair's medal bar. The more Prized Crops players harvest, the more points they'll earn, and the more medals and prizes they can potentially win.

This County Fair will take place weekly, and at the end of the week, those players (in your own circle of friends) that earned the most points will receive "special bonuses and rewards."

Some of these rewards include the ability to earn more Visit Actions when visiting friends' farms, and the ability to "stock up" on more visitors that can come to your farm and tend items at once! This feature looks to be one that will roll out really slowly, so don't panic if you don't see it in your game just yet. We'll make sure to bring you the feature's complete details once we know more, so stay tuned!

FarmVille 2 Spring Bake Sale: Everything you need to know


It's time for a Spring Bake Sale in FarmVille 2, as players are now encouraged to bake a variety of pastries that will be used to earn a variety of both premium and basic rewards, from Baby Bottles to Horseshoes, and tons of items in between.

The first part of this Spring Bake Sale feature will see you building the actual Bake Sale Table. This item requires 10 Chalk, 10 Chalkboard Paint, and 10 Doilies to complete. These items are earned through a combination of general news posts placed on your wall and individual requests sent directly to your neighbors.

When you've collected these parts, you can finish the Spring Bake Sale Table by asking four friends to come work as helpers in the item.

After the Spring Bake Sale Table is completely finished, you'll be able to complete a series of quests in a similar fashion to the Florist Table. That is, each "Bake Sale" requires you to craft items to "sell," and you'll then need to ask friends to attend the sale to actually finish each Bake Sale off.

When you've completed the crafting, and have finished each individual Bake Sale, you'll receive rewards like Water, Power, Fertilizer, Speed-Grows, Flour, Broths, Pie Crusts, Baby Bottles, and more. There's no guarantee that you'll receive one item over another, but the list of potential prizes is rather large.

When you finish the entire event, which consists of five Bake Sales, you'll receive a Custom Farm Sign. You can have up to three Bake Sale Tables on your farmland at once, while Super Bake Sale Tables can be purchased with Farm Bucks in the store. These work similarly, come fully built, and offer you more rewards as you play the game. Good luck completing this Spring Bake Sale event in your game!

FarmVille 2 Mother's Day Kitchen Recipes: Everything you need to know



While the main focus of the Mother's Day item theme in FarmVille 2 may be on growing Red Tulips for mastery points, you can also complete a series of three new cooking recipes inside the game's Crafting Kitchen. These three recipes are centered around fruit dishes that any mother would love, and we're here with a guide on how to prepare each one. Let's get started!

The first recipe is the Grapefruit Waffle, which is made using two Batter and eight Pink Grapefruits per batch. The Batter comes from Wheat, Flour, and Eggs, while the Pink Grapefruits are harvested from the Pink Grapefruit Tree. A single tree can be purchased in the game's store for 12 Farm Bucks, and it can be harvest once every 16 hours. Creating this Grapefruit Waffle recipe gives you 25 XP and you can sell each batch for 3,820 coins in the store.



The second recipe is for an Orange Coffee Cake, which rewards you with 19 XP each time it's created. This recipe requires two Batter and one Orange Icing to make. The icing is made using Oranges and Butter, and you can sell each Orange Coffee Cake for 2,210 coins in the market.



The final recipe in this series is for Pink Grapefruit Brûlée. This recipe requires 12 Pink Grapefruits and four Sugar to make. The Sugar is earned by asking your friends to send some to you via individual requests. A single batch of this item can be sold for 3,140 coins, and you'll receive 17 XP for each one that you create.



These recipes will be available in the game's Crafting Kitchen for the next three weeks, while the Pink Grapefruit Trees will only be available to purchase for the next 20. Make sure to invest in this tree sooner, rather than later, if these recipes are things you're interested in making.

FarmVille 2 Spring Showers: Everything you need to know



Since Spring is typically associated with lots of rainfall, it's not surprising that we've seen Zynga bring Spring Showers to our farms in FarmVille 2. The new Spring Showers event will see you preparing your farm for a downpour, which will automatically water all of your active crops, along with making your farm overall more productive than it might be otherwise.

At the beginning of this event, the paper boy will deliver a newspaper to your farm. This serves as your event menu of sorts, as it lets you keep track of the three tasks you need to complete to bring Spring Showers to your farm.

Rain on the Horizon!
  • Collect 5 Copper Buckets
  • Collect 5 Plush Blue Towels
  • Feed 5 Adult Goats

The Copper Buckets are earned via a news post placed on your wall, while the Plush Blue Towels are earned by sending out individual requests to your neighbors. Once you complete all three of these tasks, it will start to pour down rain on your farm, automatically watering all of the crops that you've planted (but have yet to water), up to a maximum of 30 individual squares.



In addition to this crop-watering bonus, any limited edition crops or animals that you have on your farm will produce one more unit than normal when harvested / fed. While trees aren't automatically watered, the free crop watering is good enough to make this event worthwhile.

After it's rained on your farm, you can refresh your game to see a load of Spring flowers that have bloomed around your land, and you'll have a timer letting you know how long "Springtime" will last on your farm. When it's over, you can complete new tasks to bring Springtime back to the farm. You can complete these sorts of tasks as often as you'd like over a period of six weeks, so make sure to keep a constant eye on the newspaper by your market to see what you need to do to trigger more rain showers (and more free water) on your land.

FarmVille 2 Bee Box: Everything you need to know


If you're looking for a new feature to keep yourself busy in FarmVille 2, the new Bee Box is sure to be the thing for you. This Bee Box comes packed with bees that will fertilize your crops, giving you a chance to collect both Pollen and Honeycomb, and even earn a prize for your virtual farmer in the process. Of course, you can't use the Bee Box until it's built on your farm, which is where we come in for help.

First, you'll need to wait for Walter to arrive on your farm, as he further introduced this feature. You'll need to collect 10 Honeycomb Racks, 10 Brown Paint, and 10 Nails to complete the first stage of the Bee Box, with the Honeycomb Racks being earned through a general news item posted to your wall. The other two items are earned via individual requests sent directly to your neighbors. When you finish this first building stage, you can move on to asking your friends to come work in the item as staff before finally finishing it off.

With the Bee Box fully built, it will work somewhat passively on your farm. When you harvest crops from that point forward, you'll have a chance to receive Honey, which is a new collectible item similar to drops of yogurt. When the Bee Box is full of Honey, you can harvest it to have a chance at Honeycomb, the new "Gourmet Yogurt" of this event. Once you collect enough Honeycomb, you'll be able to trade it in to earn a Beekeepers outfit for your in-game avatar.

If nothing else, this Bee Box is rather small, so it can be built, used to collect the Beekeepers Outfit and then placed aside in the hopes that something else comes of this feature down the line. Good luck building your own Bee Box on your farm!

FarmVille 2 Honeysuckle Crafting Recipes: Everything you need to know


The second Crop Packet to launch in FarmVille 2 contains Honeysuckle, and as you might have guessed, it allows you plant Honeysuckle flowers on your farm over a period of two weeks. Like the Hibiscus Flowers before it, this Honeysuckle crop comes with three crafting recipes that can be "cooked" inside the game's Crafting Kitchen and Crafting Workshop, and we're here with a complete guide as to what these recipes contain.

First though, a reminder: These recipes will only be available to those that have purchased the Honeysuckle Crop Packet for 15 Farm Bucks in the store, or for those that are willing to pay for Honeysuckle units on a recipe-by-recipe basis.

The first recipe is called Honeysuckle Ice Cream, with these frozen treat being available inside the game's Crafting Kitchen. You can create a single batch of Honeysuckle Ice Cream using 12 Honeysuckle Flowers and one regular pint of Ice Cream. This regular Ice Cream is created using Half and Half and Sugar, with Sugar being earned by sending your friends requests for it directly. You can sell your new Honeysuckle Ice Cream items for 4,190 coins in the store, and you'll receive 24 XP for creating a single batch.
The second recipe is for a Honeysuckle Wreath, and it can be found inside the game's Crafting Workshop. This recipe requires 15 Honeysuckle and one Wool Thread Spindle to create. The Wool Thread Spindle can be made using just six Wool and two Fine Rabbit Wool, and you'll receive 23 XP for each Honeysuckle Wreath that you create. Each one can then be sold for 3,700 coins in the market.
The final recipe in this Honeysuckle themed trio is Honeysuckle Oil. This recipe is made using 15 Honeysuckle and eight Olives per batch. Olives come from Olive Trees, but if you're like me, you probably have hundreds of these things lying around just waiting for a purpose. You'll receive 21 XP for each Honeysuckle Oil you craft, and you can sell each one for 3,430 coins in the market.
These recipes are permanent additions to the store, so you don't have to purchase the Honeysuckle Crop Packet just yet if you'd rather save your Farm Bucks or just wait to plant and master this new crop. Stick with us, as we'll bring you complete guides to the rest of FarmVille 2's newest features just as soon as they roll out.
