Nancy it is a virtual game that gives you a piece of property and some coins. You purchase plowed plots, seeds, and then you hire other farmers to harvest your crops. They get coins, not from you, and you gain coins from the sale of your crops. You can give gifts of mostly fruit trees and animals to your neighbors, (they have to be friends on Facebook) and they can give gifts back to you. The trees bear fruit and then they need to be harvested. You can sell the animals and trees if you want. You can chat with the people from all over the world you link up with, inside Farm Town. There are different levels of the game that are gained by the amount of experience points you achieve as you go along. I found it very adictive for about a month but as my farm got so big, it took forever to load and forever to plow the plots and plant them. There are 34 levels and I was on 27.7 or so. I still go there every day and exchange gifts with people but no longer plow and plant. I have let the farm go to trees. Every three or four days I hire someone to come in and harvest the trees. The newbies think it is great.
Nancy, PM me your name and I'll search for you on Facebook.
