FarmVille is hosting a 40% Off Farm Cash Sale for a short period of time. There’s just less than 14 hours left for you to purchase discounted Farm Cash.
The surprise Farm Cash sale is not really that much of a surprise seeing as how FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise free access began this week and we are all itching to spend a little Farm Cash. There’s also that Coconut fiasco that infuriated a few farmers- Zynga has since changed Coconut producing items to be harvestable on any farm, not just Hawaiian Paradise.
Anyways, if you need Farm Cash, now is the perfect time to buy and take advantage of the discount as this sale doesn’t come around too often. You can get some great deals on Farm Cash (see available packages below) by visiting the “Get Farm Cash” tab located on the top menu found above your FarmVille in-game play area.

Will you be taking advantage of this Farm Cash Sale? I myself have been eyeing an Unwither Ring for my Hawaiian Paradise Farm, what is your must-have Farm Cash item?
By now you’ve probably already heard that in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise the preferred currency is Coconuts. In the land of paradise your Farm Coins are no good. Of course your Farm Cash is still useable, but you won’t have access to your existing bank of Farm Coins. Not that it matters really, because everything costs Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise.
Let’s talk more Coconuts.There’s a mix of emotions regarding the new currency. On one hand, starting from scratch and building up our farms with good old fashioned hard work provides a new challenge. There’s the “Beat Hawaii” challenge where you save up 1 million Coconuts for the Hawaiian Villa which is reminiscent of the olden days of FarmVille farming when farmers were finally able to purchase the regular Villa for your farm meant that you had arrived. (Read more about that by visiting this FarmVille Freak article here.) In opposition, starting with very little Coconuts (you are given some for starters) means that you will have to farm wisely, plant crops to earn Coconuts, and also harvest them on time because withered crops are not only ugly, but they also mean wasted money or Coconuts. Withered crops is pretty much like throwing your Coconuts away.
This seems fair enough, FarmVille has given us a clean slate and leveled the playing field in Hawaiian Paradise. It’s the details of Coconuts that need to be clarified. If you were hoping to get ahead and use some of those stored items such as extra animals and trees lying around your FarmVille Gift Box on your Hawaiian Paradise farm- think again. Not every item will harvest Coconuts in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. What? For example, after placing a few animals that were taking up space in our FarmVille Gift Box- a Beaded Pig, Mardi Gras Llama, Black Horse, Skeleton Calf, and Ugly Duckling in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise, none of these animals harvested Coconuts. Instead, they produced Farm Coins despite not being able to use them in Hawaiian Paradise. Note, each of the animals listed above were placed “unsheltered”on a Hawaiian Paradise farm or in other words, they were not housed in a animal habitat. Turns out that sheltered or unsheltered doesn’t matter. Why? You can’t make a non-Coconut producing animal suddenly be able to produce Coconuts just by placing them in a Hawaiian animal habitat.
Only Coconut-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Coconuts.
Farm Coin-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Farm Coins in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise.
So if you are thinking about purchasing a new tree or animal for your Hawaiian Paradise farm, be sure to check its market icon which will show you a numerical value for each harvest in both Farm Coins and Coconuts. And if doesn’t have a value for Coconuts? It’s safe to assume (at least for now) that this item will not produce Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise. The trickery! Coconut confused much? There’s more.
Perhaps you were hoping to get Coconut rich by using trees on your other farms. Nope, Zynga has fixed that too, and you will no longer be able to harvest items for Coconuts on your other farms. Turns out that being able to harvest Coconuts on other farms besides Hawaii was unintentional and never part of the plan. Read more details below from FarmVille Community Manager, Lexilicious:
“Hey Farmers!
You may have noticed that you are no longer receiving Coconuts when harvesting certain items/animals outside of your Hawaiian Paradise Farm.
It was never intended for coconuts to be obtained outside of Hawaii. In order to rectify this mistake and ensure that everyone is participating on a level playing field, we have removed the ability to receive Coconuts outside of Hawaiian Paradise.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration this issue may have caused and we would like to thank you for your continued support and understanding while we work to improve the FarmVille experience for all of our players.” (Source: Official FarmVille Forum)
Early access to FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise began almost a week ago and free access is expected to start rolling out tomorrow, Monday March 5th 2012.

There’s more news on the upcoming FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. Specifically, let’s talk currency and coconuts in the land of paradise!
Coconuts will be the preferred currency in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. Of course there’s always a Farm Cash option because when you’re willing to spend Farm Cash the big Z is more than happy to accomodate. What does this mean? This means, that items can be purchased and resold using the Coconut currency as well as be harvested for Coconuts. For example, when you harvest a Dolphin it will yield Coconuts.
As you can see in the unreleased image below, there may also be the option to convert any existing Farm Coins into Coconuts. The rumor is that FarmVille will be gifting us farmers around 6,000 free Coconuts when we arrive at our Hawaiian Paradise farms.
The FarmVille welcomed four new trees tonight including a Heart Balloon Tree, Giant Heart Balloon Tree, White Smoke Tree, and a Pink Smoke Tree all part of the Valentines Day theme.

It’s about time!!! FarmVille finally introduced the ability to have Shared Storage on your Lighthouse Cove Farm with new Shipping Licenses.
Before you get too excited the LC Shared Storage license called a Shipping License costs 75 Farm Cash. Although there is a promise for a free version which currently remains locked. The still locked free option says that a “free license” at Cove Level 10 is “coming soon”. As we all know, the problem with FarmVille is that “coming soon” can mean anything- days, weeks, or months.

FarmVille Lighthouse Cove Free
Shared Storage, also known as transferable storage, will give you the ability to move items between Lighthouse Cove farm and your other licensed farms.
TIP: Are you having trouble finding this license on your farm? First, visit your Lighthouse Cove farm and search keyword “License” in your FarmVille Market. You can also see the option available in your Storage Cellar.
Thank you to FarmVille Freak Dark Farmer for a heads up on this info.
Will you be purchasing Shared Storage for your Lighthouse Cove farm or waiting around for the free option?
Recently FarmVille has been offering regular Limited Edition animals for Farm Coins. We’re not talking about the regular 300 Farm Coin Cow, 700 Farm Coin Sheep, or even the 5,000 Farm Coin Pub Cat or other run of the mill hundred thousand dollar Farm Coin animal. Not to digress, but anyone else notice that even a simple standard FarmVille Horse has a price tag of 50,000 Farm Coins? Shocking isn’t it, especially since this same animal can be sent for free via the FarmVille Gifting Page. No, we are talking about the ones that you’ve been eyeing, but can’t bring yourself to spend the coinage on or simply can’t afford.
In FarmVille, animals have a long history of costing Farm Cash with the rare Farm Coin animal thrown in the mix. Now, on a weekly basis we can expect to see at least a couple Limited Edition Farm Coin animals enter the market. Although these pricey critters usually come with an expensive price tag, it’s an option that we welcome. Now let’s talk more about price. For example, this week the FarmVille Market introduced the Thuringian Goat for 2.5 million Farm Coins and most recent a Vosges Cow for 3 million Farm Coins. There’s also a drool-worthy Lion costing 3 million Farm Coins who will be leaving the market in just a few days. The catch is that because these Farm Coin animals are still Limited Edition, they won’t be in the market forever. So you’ll have to spend what Farm Coins you have or work hard on your farm and save up enough Farm Coins to purchase these animals in the time frame allowed. Maybe even some of you have been desperate enough to purchase a Farm Coin package using real money.
At these prices it makes it difficult for beginners or casual farmers to afford, especially if they are hoping to purchase the occasional Farm Coin animal, much less collect and give homes to all the Farm Coin animals introduced to the market. Perhaps, even the most elite FarmVille Freaks are struggling to keep up. The cost of fueling and running four farms, plus purchasing Farm Expansion not only takes a toll on our bank account, but so does stocking up on these fancy animals.
It’s nice to see an option to purchase animals without using Farm Cash, but at these prices, it makes us wonder who really can afford these expensive Limited Edition Farm Coin animals?

The Money Tree will harvest Farm Cash that will “double your money in one year”.
When harvested, the Money Tree will yield Farm Cash! This is the first ever tree in FarmVille to produce Farm Cash. It’s a pricey tree that costs a whopping 260 Farm Cash, but the return on your investment “doubles your money in one year”.
FarmVille Money Tree
FarmVille Money Tree Information
You can harvest the Money Tree every 7 days or once per week for a whole year. At each harvest, you will receive 10 Farm Cash. There are 52 weeks in a year and that means that you can harvest 520 Farm Cash total in one year. Not only do you make your money back from the cost of purchase, you double it. At this moment it is unclear as to whether after a year your Money Tree will be expire. (We will post more on this as we know it).
If you are thinking of repurposing your farm into breeding Money Trees, you’ll have to rethink your get rich plans, because the Money Tree will NOT go into FarmVille Orchards. Although this tree is pretty pricey, you can make your Farm Cash back and then some. Depending on if it expires in one year or not, it seems like it’d be easier to just buy a Farm Cash package during one of the rare 40% off sales. On the other hand, if you are a frequent player and have Farm Cash to spare why not make some extra money? That is if you have the patience to wait for it. What do you think, FarmVille Freaks- will you invest in a Money Tree?
