You can unlock this new farming land starting at level 14 and find it on the southern part of map below the main field. The Magical Glade will give you even more room for crops, trees, animal buildings and pastures. It is divided into four sections which can all be unlocked with the Tree of Wisdom.
The magical glade’s different zones are all enchanted and will give you extra EP for harvesting crops and breeding animals! To unlock the Magical Glade and get amazing rewards, all you’ve got to do is follow the instructions below:

Stars

Here’s how you can get stars:

Now onto the Tree of Wisdom:




In the middle of the magical glade, you’ll find the Tree of Wisdom which will grant you a mountain of marvelous benefits:

You’ll find mysterious carvings on the tree which hold the key to age-old secrets. To unlock secrets, you’ll need to activate carvings by collecting stars.

How to use your stars on the Tree of Wisdom

- Click on a carving to open up a short description that tells you what secret you can unlock and if you have enough stars for this.

Money making guide



      Everybody wants to have lots of money (country coins), but they will realize that this is not such a easy task... The money you make seems to vanish really fast, and you probably are frustrated because you sell your crops at the market on very small prices.
      Well i will teach you some tricks on how to make money easily.
    

 The crops
    
    The most efficient way to make money with crops is to sow and sell lettuce, carrots, or hay. Don't waste your time with any other crops because they don't wort it... The downside of selling lettuce, carrots and hay is the production time, they are done in short times (5, 10, 25 min) and if you want to make money with them, you have to have a lot of free time to stay on the farm. So this is not such a practical solution, for everyone, to make money. 
     As a side note to this method: If you need to buy carrots, lettuce or hay, don't buy them from the market. Buy them from the seed shop because they are cheaper there.

The animals

    The best way to make money is with the animals. Go on the market and see what animals sell with the top price and then fill your farm with animal pens. Now (and usually all the time) the rabbits are the top sellers so go fill your farm with rabbit pens. They have a petty good production time (6.30h without water) and you can produce about 3 rounds per day, thats about 200+ rabbits to sell, that means 108x200= 21600 CC/day = 151200 CC/week.

Production pens


   Another good source of money is the production pens. Don't waste your toolbox items on useless production pens. The top selling products are "Angora wool" and, recently, "Sheep wool". The reason that they sell and will sell at top prices, is the fact that there are missions involved at "The Farmers Society". So go ahead and build only rabbit and sheep "Shearing Sheds"


   OK, so now you know how to make money, but you have to spend them wisely or you will lose them faster then you can make them. Here are some tips on how to spend your money:

- don't water your crops/animals. A tank of water costs 122 CC, and it may seem that is a cheep, but don't get fooled... those 122 CC add's up and you will spend a lot of money on water... If you really can't play without watering plants/animals, is a better deal to buy 15-20 small water tanks from the "Supply store", one tank costs only 250 CC and will give you 5 units of water every 12 hours, and you will never need to buy water. The downside is that it uses space on your farm, that can otherwise be used, maybe, more efficiently... but you can but them in the park and your ready to go ..

-don't buy crops and animal feed. Produce your own feed. The mill has to work 24/7. You need just a few large acres to produce crops for animal feed, 10 acres will do..

- don't deliver the orders that came on your Farmhouse, 95% of them give you crap prices compared to what you will get at the market. So pay attention and analyze the orders that comes on your Farmhouse before you consider delivering them.


Other tricks for making money:

- you can buy lettuce, carrots, hay from the Seed shop and sell them on the market at overprice. This is a valid "cheat" but the income fro it is kind of small... you have to sell crops with the value of, let's say, 100.000 CC to make 1000CC profit. Don't forget about the 10% commission fee on the market, when you do dis trick.
