The City

The City




You're no stranger to the city. You've been there a few times already ordering seeds, buying trees at the nursery or picking up animal housing from the carpenter. That's why you know that there's much more to discover there!

Life in the country is quiet and humble. But making a living with honest hard work, harvesting crops and raising animals can be tough. Fulfilling customers' orders and delivering their fresh carrots and apples on time isn't easy either. Sometimes you don't always have everything you need, which is why you need to head to the city every once in a while. Click on the farm map "City" to start your big city adventure.

Here's a list of things to see and do in the city!


Farmers' Market (access from Level 3)



Bartering and trading is the name of the game at the Farmers' Market. Supply and demand influence the prices here!

Set right in the middle of the City as with all good markets. The Farmers' Market is open 7 days a week for you to trade with other players. It's also a great place to shoot the breeze. There are all kinds of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables here, whether they be regional or exotic.

With a cluck, cluck here and a cluck, cluck there, the Farmers' Market hustles and bustles with the sounds of barnyard animals. There are rabbits, geese, chickens, cows and even fish here. If you get lucky, you might even find a kangaroo or two. Take your time and chat with the traders, sometimes they throw in recipes for free.

Make sure to keep your cool at the Farmers' Market. You don't want to lose all your hard-earned money. Consider carefully what you need.

Find out how the other farmers do business at the market first. What are their prices and conditions? As soon as you've got it all figured out, open your own stand and sell your goods at the market. It's a great way to make some extra cash.

Farmers' Society (from level 4+)



    As you enter the City the Farmers' Society is in the middle of the Town Square next to the Bank, it has the town clock on the roof. The Farmers' Society is an agricultural organization which acts on behalf of rural areas to deal with their concerns and help promote community cohesion. Since it heavily relies on the support of its agricultural community, the Farmers' Society sometimes issues special contracts for you to complete.
     If you take on one of these special contracts, then you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart in order to help out your community. It might mean producing a lot of vegetables for a special event or giving the Farmers' Society a large amount of goods, but if you complete this task, you won't only get paid for your efforts, you'll also earn a lot of respect. After all, word spreads fast out in the country!

The Event Place



Situated just in front of the Farmer's Society building, is the Event Place.
Every now and then special events take place, and when you see something on the Event Place, it will take you straight to the Event pop-up when you click on it.

This could be some events that last between 1-10 days (or even longer) 
Be sure to keep an eye on that section of the forum to stay updated on new Events!

Updated: The Seed Shop, Nursery, Carpenter and Supply Store are all under one roof "The Shopping Center"- between the Workshop and the Statue (with a shopping basket on the roof).


Seed shop

If it's seeds you need, they got 'em! They sell many different kinds of fruit and vegetable seeds, but you'll only be able to buy those seeds that have been unlocked for your level.

The seed shop isn't the only place you can get your seeds. It's a good idea to swing by the Farmers' Market and compare prices. You can also purchase seeds here which fellow farmers have put up for sale.

Nursery

A real farmer knows to take care of his trees. Especially since they bear lots of fruit for little work. Tree cuttings can be bought at the nursery, but only after they have been unlocked for your level. New trees will be unlocked as you advance through levels.

Carpenter

The carpenter is your main man when it comes to animal housing. If you need it, he'll build it.

You can buy more than one animal housing unit from the carpenter at once. That's why you'll be asked how many units you'd like to buy when purchasing animal housing. Just make sure you have enough money to pay for all of them.

Many levels have new crops, trees or animals which are unlocked when you level-up 


Supply Store

Fancy sprucing up your farm, adding that creative touch to your park? Then all you need is in the Supply Store. From hedges, to tree upgrades and barnyard cats to volcanoes your farm will be the envy of all your neighbours.
WorkShop (access from Level 8)



      The Workshop is between the Shopping Centre and Market. When your animals are settled in and ready to go to work, the Workshop is where you will find the Production Pens. Once you have gathered the required tools from harvesting, the Farmwheel or from your Neighbours, click on the 'build' button - you will find the completed production pen under the animal tab on your farm. If you do not have quite enough tools and cannot wait, you can also buy toolboxes in the Workshop for a few Barnyard Bills.




Update: The Post Office, Gifts and Tourist Offices are all under one roof -


Post office

Farmerama isn't just about trying to become the best farmer ever, but about being part of a larger community. Instead of playing against each other, farmers work together to support each other here, just like in a real country community!

This is where the post office comes into play. Players use the post office and its message system to stay in contact with each other. They can write messages, check their message inbox and outbox and take a look at their buddy list here.

You can also, from the post-office, hire Suzy to send an Air Mail to your neighbours and buddies.

You'll receive 1x Suzy Air Mail for each level up, and they can be won on the FarmWheel, or bought for 1 BB in the Supply Store.

Gifts

It's the little things that count in a friendship. That's why farmers are always willing to help when they hear another farmer is in need. Community comes first out here; so lend a hand by sending a gift! You can send 5 free gifts a day to buddies and/or neighbors. After that, you may send more gifts by spending BB on them. The new gift quota resets at midnight Central Europe Time.

Whether it be for a birthday, anniversary or wedding, you'll find just what you're looking for in the gift menu. Gifts will help to boost your popularity in the community. (see: )

Tourist Office

The tourist office is your bet for city information; you will find it in the Post Office, blue domed building with envelope on the roof.

You can put your farm on display for visitors to enjoy and send friend invites, e-cards or gifts here.
Putting farm on display

Whether they drop by for a chat or just want to admire your garden, visitors are always welcome on your farm. If you want visitors to be able to see your farm, just create a screenshot of your farm and post it in the tourist office for others to rate.

Use your creativity and show everyone that you know a thing or two about farming and gardening. Do what you want: Plant a rose garden or let it grow wild. Each farm has its own appeal. Just make sure to accentuate its best features!

You can take a photo of your farm to show it off to your neighbours and buddies.

On the bottom left you see a camera which will allow you to take a screen print of the last land you visited before coming to the City, via the Farm Map.

The photo will take a few minutes to be taken (wait for the spinning flower to stop spinning). Then you'll be able to use the link on the right to show your picture, or you can even make a voting link to get other players to score your farm.

Player recruitment

The main goals in Farmerama are to have a good time and meet new people, but playing with your existing friends can also be fun. That's why you should invite your friends to join in the fun and play Farmerama with you. Then you'll see just how much fun farming can be!

Your efforts will not go unnoticed. When your friends accept your invite and register, you will receive a fir tree as a gift to decorate your farm.

E-cards

What do you say? Feel like sending your friends an e-card of your beautiful farm? They'd probably love to hear from you again.
An e-card is a great way of showing off your gardening/farming skills and getting your friends to vote for your farm.
Bank



The Bank is in front of the Lookout Tower and next to the Farmers' Society. Running low on money? Then visit the bank and give your account a boost. It's located between the carpenter's shop and the post office.

Everybody knows your name at the bank - good farmers know how to handle their money. There are two types of currency in Farmerama: Country coins and Barnyard bills.

Every Country coin you earn with farming and selling produce will take you a step further in the game. But to really make it big, Barnyard bills are what you need. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - that's something every farmer understands!

Sometimes you've got to put it all on the line to profit. If you want to invest in new animal housing, trees and seeds for your farm, then purchase Barnyard bills in the bank with real money.

Afterwards you can exchange Barnyard bills for Country coins to keep your in-game account in the black.

If you really want to turn your farm into the best homestead ever, then take advantage of Premium advantages and sign up for a Premium membership. Take a look in "Premium advantages" to find out more.


FarmWheel



Roll up, roll up! Are you feeling lucky today? Then step this way.

The farmwheel gives one free spin per day that you log in and has prizes including water, country coins, harvesting bonuses. If you are feeling very lucky, you can purchase extra spins for just a few Barnyard Bills.
