I love FarmVille and have done so for some time now. Don't get me wrong I'm no expert and I don't call me a guru, I just love playing FarmVille and would like to share what I have learned with you.
How To Play FarmVille - Background Info
FarmVille started in June '09 by a company called Zynga. It can be played on many platforms including Facebook, FarmVille.com and Zynga's latest release as an iPhone App. FarmVille is growing rapidly, as I write this there are over 70 million active members playing FarmVille worldwide every single month. Thats amazing!

Why not play with other players from around the world who also love FarmVille. Easily find other FarmVille fanatics on Facebook's FarmVille neighbor request page or search Google for FarmVille neighbor forums. There's a ton of them. Learn how to play the game together and help each other if you get stuck.
How To Play FarmVille - Aim of The Game
The aim of FarmVille is to progress through the levels and manage a farm as a farmer would in real life. However, not everything on FarmVille is quite what it seams. In addition to planting and harvesting crops you will be given the opportunity to look after animals, hatch eggs, construct buildings and look after your neighbors crops. To progress levels you will need to earn experience points or FarmVille XP as its called in the game. XP can be earned by completing almost any task on your farm, so progressing to the next level is quite easy within the first few levels. As you progress levels the amount of FarmVille XP needed to level up increases and more tasks need to be completed to progress. As you learn how to play FarmVille the easier it will become to get XP and you'll find out which tasks will earn you the most.
Whilst learning how to play FarmVille you'll find different levels unlock new items for you to use e.g level seven enables you to buy rice while level nine will enable you to buy a wagon and a bike, and so on. As you progress you will then unlock more items to buy, which will make managing your farm easier. Items you can buy include tractors, Combine harvesters and seeders just to mention a few but beware these item also cost FarmVille cash and FarmVille money so watch what you spend your hard earned money on don't leave yourself short.
How To Play FarmVille - Adding New Challenges
FarmVille seems to have an endless amount of levels but truth is Zynga are working on FarmVille constantly, which is good news for you the player. They are adding new challenges and items all the time. At time of writing this they introduced the bee hive which lets you the farmer build a hive with materials donated by your neighbors. It sure gets you hooked! With the aim to have a fully working hive with bees and a queen bee obtained by growing flowers. After you've completed your hive you'll earn more money from your crops and be able to collect honey.
Share items with your neighbors and in turn they'll share items with you. Need an item quickly send it out to your neighbors and if they return the favor they'll send it back to you for your inventory.
As you progress, items in your inventory will mount up (a max of 200 items). Sell whatever you don't need to earn more FarmVille coins, you'll also get extra space to receive more items.
How To Play FarmVille - Forget About The Bells And Whistles
Concentrate on getting levels behind you for the moment and build up your FV coins and FV XP. When you've gained enough, you can then concentrate on the bells and whistles as I like to call it. I am of course, talking about the decorations and aesthetics of your farm. If you buy none essential items to early you'll fall at the first hurdle. If you do this you'll end up doing one of two things, either get bored and give up FarmVille all together or panic and by FV cash and FV XP with real money. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
