If you can make money with it, it’s here! Seed crops, trees and animals in FarmVille.

While they are charming and fluffy and adorable, resist: do not buy sheep. At $700 they are very expensive and take 75 days to earn back their cost. Luckily they can be given from Level 7, and will make regular appearances in your Gift Box to help you build your flock
They are pink, they are cute, and they oink. Those are pretty much the only advantages of pigs, although with a resale price of $50, they do make a very thoughtful gift for lower-level farmers to give
As the first animal farmers are able to buy and to gift, the basic cow is everywhere. While decorative, they are arguably not the best item to spend money on from a financial point of view – wait to get them as gifts, because you’ll get plenty of them
The humble barnyard chicken: often gifted, rarely kept due to its poor daily profit and relatively high resale value for low level players. They are, however, quite cute and can be profitable animals if you pack them 16 to a square like battery hens
Black sheep make prized wool with double the profit of their white cousins at $56 per harvest. They cannot be bought or gifted, and as a high-value animal, are hotly contested for adoption. (They also make excellent checker boards.)
Brown cows were previously available for adoption from your neighbors’ Facebook walls. Brown cows make chocolate milk with double the profit of regular cows at $12 per day. With the introduction of black sheep, brown cows are no longer available
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
There’s no doubt about it: during Super Berry weekend, there is absolutely no better crop to plant than the mighty, mighty 2 hour, $10/$100 Super Berry. Get ‘em while they’re hot and deck those farms in red!
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
Pumpkins are a FarmVille favorite. They are available at L5, have a convenient 8 hour harvest time, and add colour to your farm. If you don’t have carrots yet, pumpkins are the best work-friendly, mid-term crop you can plant
