Crops: Artichokes

Won’t be visiting your farm for awhile? Artichokes might be your solution. Because they take a lengthy 4 days to fully ripen, artichokes are a favorite for the out-of-town farmer. You can enjoy your vacation with the peace of mind of knowing that they do not even begin to spoil until well into their 8th day. Although you will receive 3 experience points total for planting a single patch of artichokes, they may not be the best choice for gaining the most experience in the quickest amount of time

Crops: Squash

At level 4, you unlock your first crop: squash. They provide you with a 2-day crop which is more profitable (though same experience) than eggplants, your initial 2-day seed. Although squash doesn’t impart the experience and/or profit that strawberries potentially do, they are much less demanding in terms of harvest/wilt time. This makes squash ideal for the farmer-on-the-go

Crops: Wheat

New farmers may be immediately drawn to wheat due to its high sale cost ($115). However, it takes a patient farmer to grow wheat, as the growth time is a lengthy 3 days. Admittedly, wheat does not have an especially high daily profit value if growing time and planting costs are taken into account. But it is not without its strengths; wheat is the perfect crop to plant if you know you won’t be around for several days. With a wither time of nearly a week, wheat stays ripe until you return

Crops: Eggplants

Although eggplants cannot boast the experience gains of strawberries nor the profit gains of soybeans, they can nonetheless be invaluable to lower-level players. Eggplants are the only 2-day growth crop available as you begin the game. Thus, they are a flexible, low-maintenance crop, perfect if you only visit your farm once every few days

Crops: Soybeans

Soybeans may be one of the most versatile crops in FarmVille. They provide newer farmers with a 1-day growth crop with the added benefit of awarding 3 experience points per planting (a decent return). You may find 23 hours (a ‘FarmVille day’) to be an ideal ripening period, as you can check in with your farm just once per day and still maintain a substantial experience point return. Mid- and high-level farmers desiring to level quickly also find soybeans to be particularly useful, as they are the catalyst to the illustrious ‘Soybean-Delete’ trick

Crops: Strawberries

Of the four crops available to new farmers, strawberries are arguably the best for gaining experience. This is largely due to their 4-hour ripening period, which is one of the shortest in the game. This allows for an average of four plantings per day (5.75 plantings if you are willing to forgo sleep), making strawberries a favorite among low/mid-level Experience Farmers and Profit Farmers alike. However, because of the considerably short time to ripen, strawberries can be fairly high maintenance and require multi-daily upkeep if you are to prevent wilting
