Find More Co-op Members With Add Me Friday!

 

Now that Co-ops have been released, it's more important than ever to make sure you have neighbors you can rely on! (Learn more about Co-ops here: Farm Co-ops Guide)

On Fridays, FarmVille 2 invites you to participate in Add Me Friday. We know that there are Farmers out there looking for neighbors just as active as they are, and it's our goal to bring you together.

It's easy! Leave a comment with a link to your Facebook profile and a message to future Neighbors! 

Please take a moment to read the Rules.

Commenting Rules:

• Any comment in violation of the Terms of Service will be removed. A link to the Terms of Service can be found HERE.

• Include your profile link, or people won't be able to add you! (Copy/paste your Facebook URL.)

• Let others know what kind of farmer you are, and what kind of Neighbors you are looking for. Everyone plays FarmVille 2 differently, so this information can be important! 

• Please refrain from spamming the blog post with tons of "Add Me" requests. This makes it harder for people to find Neighbors and we may have to remove your comments!

Community Neighbors:

In addition to Add Me Fridays, the Community Neighbors feature allows you to add Neighbors who aren't your Facebook friends. That way, even if your Facebook friends don’t play FarmVille 2, you can still get in on the fun! 

Visit the guide for all of the details: Community Neighbors

We hope everyone finds lots of new friends and Neighbors. See you!

If you’re in need of new culinary delights to wow your guests this holiday season, we’ve got you covered with exclusive recipes courtesy of celebrities and popular chefs, including actress Kate Hudson and Marc Murphy from The Food Network’s Chopped.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup All Purpose Flour
• ½ cup Water
• 1/3 cup Olive Oil

• Bake in greased pan for 8 - 10 minutes or until dry and crispy.
• Brush the flatbread with olive oil and let it completely cool, otherwise your cheese will melt.

FarmVille 2: Country Escape Fall Harvest Feast Part 2 Guide

The second stage of the Fall Harvest Feast has started! The movie star, Kate Hudson, is going to join us for the Fall Harvest Feast! Craft her limited edition Hudson Bellamy Wines, and her special Fig and Burrata Flatbread. Kate's special recipes will earn you more Fall Harvest Points on the leaderboard.

If you played Stage 1 of the Fall Harvest Feast, the second stage is very similar. You will continue to search for Kale and craft the same Kale recipes to climb the leaderboard. You will also be able to craft limited edition wines in the Winery if you are at least level 27 (when Winery unlocks). You can find a new item, Figs, from Peach trees, which are needed during this event as well.

 

 

Boosts:

On the upper right of the first tab of the Fall Harvest Feast (image above) is where you can easily access the Boosts available.  You can boost the amount of Fall Harvest points by 50% for coins, or by 100% with keys. There will be a timer once a boost is activated and a short cool-down period when you can buy another boost. Boosts will last 1 hour, and you can only select one boost at a time. (Prices subject to change based on level)

 

Leaderboard:

The second tab will show you the leaderboard that you are in. Not everyone you know will be in the same leaderboard. The leaderboard tab will tell you which prize category you are currently in (Gold, Silver, or Bronze). You can also see how you rank among your friends. To be fair to all, you will be in a leaderboard with others that are similar level. While viewing the leaderboard you will now be able to see which Farmers are using boosts. 

Rewards:  

If you won the Angora Cat in last week's Fall Harvest Feast, your Gold level rewards will upgrade your cat to an exclusive jeweled cat. You will not get a 2nd cat, but the existing cat will have a different appearance if you win the top tier during this event. The upgraded cat will give you higher chances for additional items when sent to the mine, glade, pond or pier. This includes 2x copper, trout & blackberries.

If you did not win the Angora Cat in the first stage, you will have a second chance to win the Cat if you reach the Gold tier. 

The Silver prize is Silver Stamps, and the Broze prize is 3 Nails to help you upgrade your Barn or Silo.

 

 

 

There are 9 new quests in this event. Tap on the Quest Manager on the lower left of your game to find quests. You will only receive one final reward at the end of the event (aside from quest rewards).

New item needed and where to locate it:

• Fig: Harvest Peach trees for Figs
• Kale: Explore Grandma's Glade, Pappy's Pond, the Pond, Mine or tend your Prized Animals to find Kale. 

  **Tip: Crafted items that contain Kale or Fig will be worth higher Fall Harvest points! Make sure to have plenty of Kale & Figs to help you move up on the leaderboard!

Raise a Toast to Kate Hudson & Hudson Bellamy Wines in FarmVille 2: Country Escape

Have a wine and cheese craving?  Get ready to wine and dine with Kate Hudson and Hudson Bellamy Wines as they make their way to Farmville 2: Country Escape! Starting tomorrow, players can harvest, craft and sell bottles of Kate’s new wine collection, Hudson Bellamy Wines, and create food pairings inspired by recipes from the FarmVille to Table Recipe Book, which is available online and on Google Play, the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and coming soon to Microsoft Windows.

 

After a personal introduction from Kate, recreated in the game as a FarmVille fashion-forward avatar, players will create Hudson Bellamy Wines (including Hudson Bellamy Sauvignon Blanc, Hudson Bellamy Pinot Noir and Hudson Bellamy Rose) to harvest, craft and sell during the FarmVille Fall Harvest Event for limited edition prizes. Players can also put on a Fall Harvest feast for their FarmVille community by harvesting and crafting special event crops and recipes, including Kate’s exclusive Fall Harvest Fig & Burrata Flatbread. Sound good? The recipe can also be found in the new FarmVille to Table Recipe Book.

 

In addition to Kate’s Flatbread, the Farmville to Table Recipe Book is filled with recipes inspired by FarmVille favorites, along with exclusive recipes by food bloggers and celebrity chefs. Look for a dish by Marc Murphy from The Food Network’s Chopped, plus recipes from fellow FarmVille players!

 

Founded by Kate and fiancé Matt Bellamy, Hudson Bellamy Wines is a brand-new line of small lot, sustainably crafted wine with proceeds benefitting The Hawn Foundation. The Hawn Foundation is dedicated to improving the overall well-being of children in need by equipping them with vital social and emotional literacy skills.

 

Kate shared her thoughts around the partnership, “FarmVille 2: Country Escape is a fun and unique way to share our Hudson Bellamy Wines with a wide array of people. Our wines are small lot, so the rustic, community environment in the game fits right in with our values of making a sustainable, local product. Along with making Hudson Bellamy Wine, you can make your own real-world version of my go-to fall recipe, Fig & Burrata Flatbread, in the FarmVille to Table Recipe Book. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year to cook, and I hope the recipe inspires everyone to make the most of the season’s delicious, natural ingredients.”

 

Be sure to check out FarmVille 2: Country Escape to see how many people you and Kate can wine and dine at the Fall Harvest Event!
