How to Get Farm Cash

Pink barns, large ponds, tractor fuel, your very own lawn jockey – it can all be bought with Farm Cash. Learn the ins and outs of dealing with Zynga’s in-game currency reserved for special items (and for farmers with more money than time!)

Pink barns, large ponds, tractor fuel, your very own lawn jockey – it can all be bought with Farm Cash. Farm Cash is different from Farm Coins, the in-game currency you earn when you harvest crops and spend when you plant more.

Unlike some other games where there is fluidity between currencies, you cannot convert coins to Farm Cash. However, also unlike other games, you do not need Farm Cash to fully play FarmVille.

Farm Cash comes from three sources:

  • Earn It – As of 22 August, 2009 you earn $1 in Farm Cash for every level you gain.
  • Buy It – Farm Cash can be bought for real money using PayPal or various mobile and micro payment system.
  • Complete It – You can take various surveys or sign up for offers at the bottom of the payment screen.

Purchasing additional Farm Cash is entirely optional. Sure, you may desperately want a tree house or a gazebo, but you don’t need one in order to play FarmVille – and players who do have those items have no strategic advantage over you.

Taking surveys for Farm Cash has its pitfalls. People regularly report that they are not getting their Farm Cash, or are inundated with spam when they complete an offer. Additionally, this option is not available in every country due to regional laws. See Tips for Surveys (link me) for more information.

    I just bought the treehouse on farmville. I AM SOOOO DISAPPOINTED. I couldn’t find a picture of it anywhere and I noticed you have the acai tree on yours. If you would like, notify me and I can add you and hopefully you can take a picture of it and put it on this site. I debated between the treehouse or the gazebo. Now I wonder how bad the gazebo is. My girl farmer is taller than it!!
