While on a tour of Zynga with Mayor of New Jersery Cory Booker, a girl happened to take a picture of a FarmVille poster! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, it really may be!
You can see that this poster is of the soon to be released FarmVille English Countryside! A farmer, along with what looks like a pilot, is headed towards the faraway buildings, of which the Big Ben is visible!
If you recall, FarmVille Freak also recently did a post about the FarmVille English Countryside Q&A. In that, one of the questions answered by Lexilicious and the FarmVille team was as follows:
Will we have to purchase the English Countryside with Farm Cash or add new neighbors if we want to play?
No! You won’t have to add new neighbors in order to travel to the English Countryside. Everything you need to do can be accomplished with your existing friends and neighbors. It won’t cost you Farm Cash, either.
We want all of our players to try farming in the English Countryside, so we’re making it as easy and fun as possible to get there. The deed to your second farm might literally fall out of the sky and land on your farm!
Does this mean we will be travelling by air to our FarmVille English Countryside? You may also recall the Duke’s Airship post that FarmVille Freak brought to you, which asked you to help repair the Duke’s broken airship, so you can “liftoff” to get the FarmVille English Countryside.
What do you think of this new poster? (Personally, my favorite part is the terrified little sheep hanging from the bottom of that hot air balloon, haha!)
Are all these hints and clues getting you excited for the release of the FarmVille English Countryside?
In a recent Facebook notification from the FarmVille English Countryside, they announced a new sweepstakes to farmers that will include a trip to England!
Make sure you “like” the FarmVille English Countryside on Facebook to stay tuned to more information.
“Exciting news, FarmVille fans: The FarmVille English Countryside Sweepstakes will be starting soon. We’ll be giving away great prizes including grand prizes of amazing trips to England. The English Countryside fan page will have all the details soon. Make sure you “Like” this page. The more ‘Likes’ we get, the more prizes we’ll add to the sweepstakes!”
You may remember that FarmVille Freak did a post earlier about the FarmVille English Countryside Q&A that was opened on the FarmVille Discussion Boards.
FarmVille Comminuty Manager Stumpgrinder had told us to ask any and all questions we have about the new upcoming feature, and they would pick a few essential questions and answer them for us!
Seems as though our wait is over! Earlier this afternoon, Lexilicious posted an announcement on the Forums:
Hey Farmers!
We know you have been eagerly awaiting more information about the upcoming English Countryside release and the wait is finally over!
We asked the community to submit their questions about the English Countryside and the designers behind this release have answered some of the best.
We will be periodically updating this Q&A with more information as we get a little closer to the release of FarmVille English Countryside, so stay tuned!
Several farmers swamped the discussion board hoping that their question would be answered, so be sure to check the FarmVille Forums to see if yours was!
Here is the top question that several farmers asked, and was picked to be answered:
Will our neighbors be able to visit our English Countryside farms? Will they be able to “help” on my farm?
All your neighbors will be able to visit you in the English Countryside to see your new English Farm, and we think you’ll be eager to show it off. They will also be able to help you by fertilizing your English crops, tending your chicken coop full of English chickens, and so on.
We’ve tried hard to make farming in England feel new and exciting, while preserving the gameplay our players love, and making it super-easy to get started and build your farm up right away. We hope it will seem fresh and fun, but also familiar and comfortable.
Many similar questions that might prove to you as essential information have also been answered!
Are you excited about the newest FarmVille English Countryside feature?
Take a look at all the other questions that farmers asked. (more…)
You may recall seeing a post earlier about the Duck Pond expansion slowly being rolled out to all players. Several FarmVille Freaks have reported that they are having issues with expanding their Duck Pond.
FarmVille Community Manager Stumpgrinder, addressed this issue by saying:
We are currently issuing a patch regarding Duck Ponds; specifically it’s addressing the issue that if you get it up to Level 2 you can’t look inside, which is causing a scattering of other issues as well.
If you are encountering another problem (if you’re unable to upgrade any of your Duck Ponds for instance) please report it immediately. If you’ve lost parts, unfortunately you’ll need to file a CS ticket for proper recompense.

Also, several FarmVille Freaks have reported that they have received a second Duck Pond and can find it in their Gift Box.

Be sure to take our FarmVille Freak poll below to let us know if you are having any troubles with your Duck Pond Expansion!
You may remember a few days ago, some farmers got access to the feature of expanding Duck Ponds. This new feature was having many issues in the beginning, and could not be accessed by some farmers at all!
However, it seems as though this feature is now live this evening, and surely making its way to all farmers! Please note that this feature may still experience a few bugs here & there, but FarmVille Freak has a basic guide the expanding your Duck Ponds!
FarmVille Duck Pond Expansion
Farmers should see the pop-up shown above, letting them know that they can now expand their FarmVille Duck Ponds!
FarmVille Duck Pond Expansion Started
Once you start your Duck Pond expansion, you will be able to share a notice with your neighbors, asking them to send you the necessary items in order to expand your Duck Pond.
With the help of Shovels and Watering Cans, you will be able to increase the capacity of your Duck Pond by a significant number!
Expanding your Duck Pond can be done in two stages:
Before the expansion, your Duck Pond will be able to hold 20 ducks, but upon completing the expansion, the FarmVille Duck Pond will house up to 40 ducks at once! Finally, farmers will have enough room to place their beautiful ducks, swans & even adorable little ducklings!
Once again, please note that the Duck Pond Expansion feature is being rolled out slowly to farmers and may still be experiencing some troubles & glitches.
Have you been able to expand your FarmVille Duck Pond yet?
You may recall a few weeks ago, Lexilicious had invited a special guest in her podcast. It was then that Charlie had told us we should get ready to enjoy a whole new way of playing FarmVille! Well, have you seen the latest new fan page on Facebook?!
The latest news from Zynga shows us a brand new fan page titled FarmVille English Countryside! What new feature do you think is about to show up on our farms?
Woo woo! Finally, farmers can expand their farms for Farm Coins with the latest FarmVille 28×28 “Farm Estate” land expansion. We have been teased since December with the market placeholder for the Farm Coin option locked and with a TBD (To Be Determined) price.
According to statements made by Zygna in past FarmVille podcasts, the expansion’s delay was caused by a new feature that has yet to be released. After deciding that farmers had waited long enough, they put plans on hold and continued with the 28×28 expansion’s Farm Coin release.
You can purchase your 28×28 expansion in the FarmVille Market for 4 Million Farm Coins. In addition to the the Farm Coins, you will also have to fulfill a neighbor requirement. First, you need to have a minimum of 45 neighbors.This expansion also requires that you add 10 new neighbors, that is additional neighbors from what you already have. Please note, you need to add any 10 neighbors of your choice. These players do NOT have to be new to FarmVille or first-time players. Remember, that if you purchase the expansion directly with Farm Cash for 120 FV$, there are no neighbor restrictions in place so you will not have to add additional neighbors.
FarmVille Farm Estate For Coins
If you are purchasing the expansion today and will be redecorating your farm to utilize those extra plots, remember to save your farm frequently to make sure that your progress is saved! There is nothing more frustrating when you have been redecorating for an hour to start back at square one due to an OOS error! Don’t forget to send pics of your all your hard work to farmgoddess@farmvillefreak.com and we may feature your farm on FarmVille Freak.

Almost all FarmVille Freaks are wondering what ever happened to the 28×28 “Farm Estate” FarmVille land expansion?
Surely the big Z could not have forgotten it. Although the Farm Cash option for the 28×28 expansion has been available since its release, the Farm Coin option is still locked in “Coming Soon” status at TBD (to be determined). We first heard mention of its release in an official FarmVille podcast back in December. Lexilicious told us that we would have the expansion available sometime after the new year. Since then, dedicated farmers have been persistently checking their FarmVille Market, especially on update nights, hoping for its release.
It’s February and still no word, until now. The official FarmVille blog is finally giving us another piece of information to satisfy our anticipation. Although they aren’t giving up much details about the expansion, such as a release date, they are letting us know that we can expect more news on it during this week’s official FarmVille Podcast which will happen on Friday, February 4th 2011.
It’s not much, but at least we know that they haven’t forgotten!
The FarmVille 24 x 24 Mighty Plantation land expansion is acting very glitchy since Tuesday night’s updates.
Could these recent glitches be a hint at what’s to come soon, as in this week? In the latest FarmVille podcast, Expansion was mentioned and is reportedly in the near future.
Some FarmVille Freaks have reported that they can access the expansion in the Market. The previous “Coming Soon” red notice has been replaced with 40 FV$, yet they cannot purchase it.
