With the introduction of Orchards farmers can now group their trees into a new type of building that can be harvested for special mystery seeds. Tree Mastery has also been added for those who truly love their trees. Unlike other buildings where you can place items inside, all of the different trees are visible within, so you can make colorful and compact unique displays.


Building Orchards

You’ll get your first Orchard frame for free the first time you play FarmVille after it updates, and will immediately be entered into Placement Mode. You can place the Orchard frame on your farm now, or you can choose to place it in your Gift Box for use later. There are no level restrictions for the Orchard.

The Orchard is a constructable building, so you’ll need a grand total of 30 parts (10 bricks, 10 nails and 10 wooden boards) to finish it. Like other constructable buildings, you can ask your neighbors for these parts by posting to your feed, give parts to your neighbors via the Free Gifts page, or acquire new parts by purchase (with Farm Cash) or through Special Delivery Boxes. If you have some leftover parts in your Gift Box you can also use those.

Once an Orchard is fully complete, you can choose to start building another one by buying an incomplete Orchard frame in the Market (for 1,000 coins) or a fully complete Orchard (30 Farm Cash). You can have as many Orchards as you have farm space for, provided you are building only one at a time.

Making Your Orchards Pretty

Each Orchard can hold up to 20 trees, which you can move into the Orchard simply by clicking on tree, selecting Move, and then clicking on the Orchard you want to move the tree in to. Visually the Orchard will show each of the individual trees you put into it. You cannot directly choose where the trees are placed in the Orchard, but you can choose the order by which they go into the Orchard, and that order determines how the Orchards look visibly.
This means that the look of the Orchard can change wildly depending on the trees you put into it. Orchards can also be lined up and arrayed quite easily, so making large colorful displays is entirely possible.

You can also look inside the Orchard by clicking on it and choosing “Look Inside”. Here you can see all the types of trees currently in the Orchard, and lets you remove trees individually from the Orchard. If you click on “Buy More Trees” you’ll be taken to the Market page for Trees; “Ask for Trees” will make a post in your feed asking for more trees. You’ll also see 3 stars by each type of tree as well as a separate button for Tree Mastery—see that section below for more details!

The Mysterious Seeds

An Orchard is harvestable once every 48 hours. When you harvest it, you’ll gain the total amount of coins each of the trees would normally give during a harvest if they were placed individually on the farm.

Harvesting an Orchard may also give you a Mystery Seed. When this happens you’ll get a notice, and the Mystery Seed will be placed in your Gift Box. The Mystery Seed is a new tree—the exact identity of the type of tree depends on the makeup of the Orchard. For example, if your Orchard has 15 Apricot Trees and 5 Guava Trees, chances are the Orchard will produce an Apricot seedling rather than a Guava seedling. In addition, the Mystery Seed is an upgraded version of tree that produced it. To continue the example used above, if the seedling comes from an Apricot tree then it will produce an Apricot Golden tree (a Level 2 tree). Note that some Level 2 trees may already be available in FarmVille in one form or another, and they do not produce anything better than Level 2 trees (there are no Level 3 trees… yet). That doesn’t mean you can’t have them in your Orchard though!

You won’t know what kind of tree it is until it’s fully grown. In order to grow a Mystery Seed into a tree, you’ll need to first place it on the farm and then water it ten times. You can gift individual Water Cans through the Free Gifts page (and that’s how you can receive them from your neighbors), or you can buy them from the Market for 1 Farm Cash each. To water the sapling, simply click on it and choose the Watering option (if you don’t have any Water Cans, you can use the menu to ask or buy for more).

Once watered ten times, the Mystery Seed will now be fully grown into the new tree. This new tree acts like any other tree—you can harvest it individually, move it, store it, or put it back into the Orchard.

Master Your Trees

Harvesting trees will also now contribute to Tree Mastery! That’s right, you can now Master all of the different Tree types and receive Mastery Signs for them. In this fashion they work just like crop mastery—each time you harvest a tree it leads towards mastery of that tree (whether the tree is on the farm or in an Orchard). You can earn 3 stars for each tree type, which is also reflected in the Tree Mastery Sign (which you’ll earn for getting the third star for that tree). Level 1 and Level 2 trees are both masterable. Once you’ve harvested a tree type enough to get the third star, you’ll see a reward window and the Mastery Sign will show up in your Gift Box.

You can check on how far along your Mastery is in a couple of ways. When you look inside the Orchard you can see how many stars you’ve earned for each tree as well as the progress bar that shows how far you have to go to get the next star. You can see the same level of information by clicking on the revised “Collections” button in the UI menu on the bottom right.

Previously you were able to select from “Collections” or “Ribbons” but now you have a third option for “Masteries”. That will bring you to the new Masteries windows, which visually shows all of your Crop and Tree masteries. This is also the window you’ll see if you click on the “Tree Masteries” button in the Orchard window.

Vehicles in Farmville have are now a whole lot more involved. Zynga has allowed the storage and upgrade of your vehicles, which is great! But many people get confused, this is my interpretation of a guide to vehicles in Farmville.


Introduction to Vehicles

Vehicles create lighter work and reduce the repetitiveness the you have probably suffered with at one point in Farmville. If you have the spare coins, vehicles can be extremely helpful investments. – They say time is money and vehicles definitely do their job at saving you from doing those repetitive tasks.

Once upon a time, Farmville only had a tractor. Now the possibilities are almost endless, you can purchase a tractor, seeder, and a harvester, each having unique properties and can now be upgraded and stored in your garage.

There are currently three forms of vehicles and each has a unique job.

Tractor Properties



A tractor plows the land, four plots at a time. It can be purchased once you reach level 12 and it will cost you 30,000 coins.

The tractor drastically reduces the time it takes to plow the land. Each tractor plow will cost 60 coins, this is simply because each plot costs 15 coins to plow and the tractor is doing 4 plots at a time.

Similarly, you will receive 4xp for each tractor plow. The tractor will consume 4 fuel. However, you will receive enough fuel to plow 150 plots once you purchase your new tractor. – This fuel is actually the same fuel that your other vehicles use, you do not have a unique fuel bar for each vehicle.

Of course, the tractor can plow less than 4 plots at a time in a tricky corner or anywhere by simply clicking where required. The cost, XP, and fuel will increase/decrease as determined by the amount of plots you do.

To use the tractor (must be purchased from the marketplace first) simply click the icon of the tractor in your Farmville tools (bottom-right) and click on the desired plots from your farm.

Seeder Properties



A seeder plants seed of your choice on the land, 4 plots at a time. The seeder speeds up the process of planting seeds on your farm.

Like the tractor, you will receive 150 plots worth of fuel to work with, you will need to be on or above level 14 to purchase the seeder. The seeder will consume 4 fuel for every 4 plots it seeds.
You can use the seeder on less than 4 plots if required for a tricky angle and just like the other vehicles, the cost, fuel, and xp will adjust accordingly.

To use the seeder (must be purchased from the marketplace first) simply click the icon of the seeder in your Farmville tools (bottom-right) and click on the desired plots from your farm.

Harvester Properties



A harvester harvests your ripe crops on your farm, 4 plots at a time. It will cost you 30,000 coins, and can be purchased once you reach level 13.

You can only plow 150 fields and then you will have to purchase or earn more fuel. The harvester greatly reduces the time it takes to harvest the land.

Each harvest will cost 60 coins, this is simply because each plot costs 15 coins to harvest and the harvester is doing 4 plots at a time. Similarly, you will receive 4xp for each harvest. The harvester will consume 4 fuel too.

You can use the harvester on less than 4 plots if required and just like the other vehicles, the cost, fuel, and xp will adjust accordingly.

To use the harvester (must be purchased from the marketplace first) simply click the icon of the harvester in your Farmville tools (bottom-right) and click on the desired plots from your farm.

Introduction to Garages

Garages are a great addition to Farmville, they allow you to store and upgrade your vehicles. This means that you can get those space-taking tractors, seeders, and harvesters of your land space and into your garage.
Building a Garage

To get started with a garage it is not as simple as just buying one, you need to firstly make sure you have reached level 22 in the game. If you are on or above level 22 you can buy the garage frame from the marketplace. This will allow you to click on it and request building materials.

Remember: Zynga only allows you to have one garage on your farm. We have found that one garage is plenty.




A garage frame costs 50,000 coins in the marketplace and this will allow you to get started to building it up. Building a garage is actually very similar to building a Japanese Barn.

You will need to collect a total of 30 items to fully complete your garage – 10 Boards, 10 Bricks, 10 Nails. – Collecting these are simple if you have lots of neighbors and have collected items before!



You can do this by placing your new garage frame on your land, clicking on it and then clicking the “Look Inside” button. This will display all the items that you need to complete your garage.

There are three “normal” ways to collect the required parts.

1. You can sit back and wait for your neighbors to gift you these parts.
2. You can request the items you need more of. – By clicking the “Ask For More” button relating to an item you need your neighbors will get a request to gift you the item.
3. You can buy the required items by clicking on the “Buy” button within your garage.

Your completed garage with be able to store up to 20 vehicles, you can then make upgrades to them.

Upgrading Your Vehicles

To upgrade a vehicle, simply click on your completed garage and then click “Look Inside”. This will allow you to see all the vehicles you have in your garage.



Why upgrade?

An upgrade will actually increase the amount of plots they can plow, this increases the speed that you can harvest your farm.

For example, these are some options for the tractor:

2x2 – This is your standard 4-plot plowing.

3x3 – This will incre

To upgrade your vehicle you will need to get parts. This can be done in two ways.

1. You can click the “Ask For More” button to request parts from your friends.

2. You can click the “Buy” button to quickly buy parts with your farm cash.
Once you have collected the required amount of parts to upgrade you will see an option to choose which vehicle you wish to apply the parts too.



You can upgrade a vehicle up to 4 times, you will need the following number of items to upgrade to the following levels:

Level 1: 2 parts required
Level 2: 5 parts required
Level 3: 10 parts and you must be on/above level 26
Level 4: 15 parts and you must be on/above level 26

The cool thing about upgrading your vehicles often is that every time you upgrade you will have the option to post the news to your feed. The first 10 neighbors to congratulate you will be able to collect an upgrade part for their own vehicles.

You can remember this little tip to save farm cash and waiting for materials for your own farm. – Just check your news feed often to see more and more neighbors giving away upgrades.

Hey Farmers! You can store more than ever with the new Storage Expansion! Please find a quick guide on how this feature works below.


Storage Expansion:

You can now increase the capacity of your Storage Buildings.

Each of your storage buildings can be upgraded twice. The first upgrade will provide you with 5 extra storage and the second upgrade will provide 7 extra storage. The two upgrades will give you 12 extra storage spaces in total.

There are two ways to expand your Storage. The first way to expand storage is to pay Farm Cash. If you wish to purchase the storage upgrade with FarmVille cash (10 FC), you can do so by clicking the “BUY” button.

Alternatively, you can hold a Barn Raising, by clicking the "Expand Storage" button.

After choosing to expand your storage, you will receive a pop-up, like the one below.


clicking the "okay" button will allow you to post a feed to your wall.

After posting your feed, you will have 3 days to have 10 of your friends click on your feed. (Each of your friends can help ONCE per day (24 hours). Up to a total of 3 times (once per day) during the Barn Raising. This means you do not necessarily need 10 unique friends.

When you click on a friends feed asking for Barn Raising, you will receive 100 coins.

If you wish to “give up” on the barn raising, you can click the “GIVE UP” button and the barn raising will cease. Please keep in mind that you can only raise 1 storage item at a time.

If you do not manage to get 10 clicks on your feed in three days, you can purchase the storage upgrade at a discounted price equilavent to the amount of clicks you recieved.

The closer you manage to get to 10 clicks, the cheaper it will be to purchase with Farm Cash.

I'm tired of having to type out the same response 100 times for people who think that their storage is broken and they're wasting their storage space, so I'm answering the question once and for all and every time I see the question answered, I'm linking to this post!


I bought two storage buildings and the same items are stored in both places, how do I fix this bug?

This isn't a bug. A storage building grants you slots of storage for items that you would like to keep, but don't want to display on your farm. Each building is allotted a specific number of slots. It doesn't actually store the items. All of your items are stored in a central virtual location that can be accessed through any of you storage buildings, or through the storage item in the menu bar at the bottom of your farm.

For example, if you have one coin barn (stores 6), and one coin tool shed (stores 2), you have a total of 8 storage slots. If you notice, both of the buildings show your usage out of 8.

I bought a bunch of buildings (or expanded my storage) and the capacity only shows 100, even though it should be more than that, how do I get the right amount?

The current maximum capacity for storage, no matter how many buildings you have or expansions you get is 100. This means that there is no way to get more than 100 slots. Zynga may raise this limit in the future, but for now, that's all she wrote, so there's no reason to spend extra money on more buildings unless you really want them on your farm.

You should receive a warning before you buy more storage than the limit can handle, so if you ignore the warning and spend farm cash, don't blame the developers. You will not receive a warning before you expand your storage (however it is unconfirmed if you receive the warning before spending farm cash to finish your expansion - could someone please verify this for me?).

How many slots does each building hold?

Farm Cash buildings
Barn: 20 slots
Big Barn: 25 slots
Huge Barn: 32 slots

Tool Shed: 15 slots
Big Tool Shed: 20 slots
Huge Tool Shed: 27 slots

Coin buildings
Barn: 6 slots
Big Barn: 11 slots
Huge Barn: 18 slots

Tool Shed: 2 slots
Big Tool Shed: 7 slots
Huge Tool Shed: 14 slots
