Hey Farmers!
The time has come to host Chili Cook-offs. Crafting Chili in the Stand will earn you Tickets, which you can redeem for Decorations, a Baby Dutch Landrace Goat, and a Chef’s Outfit for your avatar!
If you are level 10 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the green “Start Building” button to place the Stand frame on your farm.
Before you can host a Chili Cook-off, you will need to build your Chili Stand. Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Chili Stand.
- Bags of Coal
- Chili Bowls
- Chili Pots
To collect Bags of Coal, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Chili Bowls and Chili Pots to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.
Note: You can send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.
Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.
Now that your Stand is almost complete, you will need some help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Chili Stand requires four Builders, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish Building” button.
Using the Chili Stand:
Click on the Chili Stand to open the main menu.
This menu shows how many Tickets you have collected and what prizes you are currently eligible to redeem.

G – If you want to invite your Friends over to taste your Chili, click this button and a request will post to your feed and let you send a request to friends.
Crafting Chili:
In order to earn Tickets, you must craft the Chili Recipes and invite your Friends over to taste them. You can craft your very own Chili via the Stand. From the Chili Stand menu, click on the “Make” button to open the Recipe menu. You can choose from three different Recipes:
- Sour Cream Chili: The required Ingredients are Onions and Milk. You will receive a total of one Ticket per Friend that tastes your Chili.
- Pinto Bean Chili: The required Ingredients are Salt and Pinto Beans (Pinto Beans is a limited edition Crop that you can find for Coins in the General Store). You will receive a total of two Tickets per Friend that tastes your Chili.
- Hot Cheesy Chili: The required Ingredients are Cheese and Chili Powder. You will receive a total of three Tickets per Friend that tastes your Chili.
Once you have filled your Chili Pot full, the “Make 1” button on the Recipe Card will grey out and you will be unable to craft more until Friends have tasted what you have already crafted.
Note: The spicier the Chili, the more Tickets you will receive when a Friend tastes it.
Collecting Tickets:
To get Tickets, you will need to enlist the help of your Friends. From the Chili Stand menu, click on the turquoise “Invite” button to send requests to your friends. Some other friends will visit your farm from time to time to taste your Chili too! If you do not wish to wait, you can purchase either of these ingredients for Farm Bucks.
Individual Tickets can also be purchased with Farm Bucks from the Chili Stand menu.
When Tickets appears on your farm after hosting a Chili Cook-off, click on them and you will see the following pop-up:
Click on the turquoise “Share Ticket” button to post a feed to your wall. Your friends will be able click on this feed to claim some free Tickets for themselves too. Once you have clicked on the Ticket, it will be automatically added to your Chili Stand.
Note: You can share Tickets every 18 hours.
