FarmVille Sneak Peek: Lucky Rainbow coming for St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day has always been a time for item collection and prize redemption in FarmVille, and this year looks to be no different, as FarmVilleFreak has discovered the first details pertaining to an upcoming Lucky Rainbow item collection feature that will launch fairly soon in the game. The Lucky Rainbow looks to resemble the Cupid's Garden feature, in that we'll need to collect three different kinds of items that can be used in bulk to earn special, exclusive decorations or animals.

We'll collect Shamrocks, Horseshoes and Moons, which can each be used to earn at least two items each (for six known items as of right now). We'll earn Shamrock Trees, Fighting Irish Ducks, Parrots, Street Lamps, a Rainbow Body Mustang and even a Rainbow Clover Bridge.

There's always the possibility that additional prizes will be released in this feature, or that the items themselves could change before things are released in full, and we'll make sure to let you know the full details of the Lucky Rainbow event as we learn more. Keep checking back with us!

FarmVille: Expand your Farmers Markets to store more Bushels

For months, farmers have been begging Zynga to release additional Bushel storage in FarmVille. Now, it looks like the Big Z has finally listened, as Farmers Market expansions have now launched in the game! You'll need to expand each Farmers Market separately, collecting 30 building ingredients to start.


  • 10 Price Cards
  • 10 Baskets
  • 10 Awnings

You'll earn these items either by asking your friends to send them to you, or by purchasing them outright with Farm Cash. When you expand your Farmers Market the first time, you'll receive 25 additional storage slots for Bushels. However, since you can own more than one Farmers Market, you can keep on expanding to receive more and more storage slots for Bushels. And don't forget about the stalls you may have on your other farms!

All in all, this is an incredibly appreciated addition to the game, but we'll make sure to let you know if another Bushel limit is eventually introduced in the game. For now, start collecting these building ingredients and expand your bushel storage as much as you can!
