When FarmVille neighbors help on your farm, you earn more XP & coins, and so do they. These “good neighbor” strategies help you AND your neighbors by making it easier for them to help on your farm.

How to Get FarmVille Neighbors to Help on Your Farm and Keep Coming Back

In FarmVille you earn more experience points (XP) and FarmVille coins when you harvest crops your neighbors have fertilized. You also get more coins and a greater chance of Mystery Eggs when neighbors feed the chickens in your coop. You benefit a lot when neighbors to help. So, here are some strategies to entice them to keep coming back to your farm:

Have a Lot of Neighbors

The more neighbors you have, the more likely all your crops will always be fertilized and your chickens fed. You can have up to 300 FarmVille neighbors.

To get maximum XP and coins from fertilized crops and fed chickens, you need neighbors who play FarmVille often, are motivated to play, and are likely to help on your farm often. The ideal neighbors will help on your farm every day, which is the maximum allowed.

Block in Your Farmer

Some FarmVille players won’t help on a farm where the farmer is not blocked in because it takes too long to wait while the farmer walks all over the place. By blocking your farmer into his/her initial position, you also block in your neighbor’s farmer when they visit, which means they earn their XP and coins as fast as possible. This is a courtesy to your neighbors, but it also makes your farmer much speedier when planting and harvesting on your farm.

Always Have Crops Growing or Plowed Plots

Make sure your farm always has something to fertilize (crops or plowed plots) so neighbors always earn maximum XP and coins, to make it worth their while to visit. Otherwise, they may not bother to come back.

Have a Chicken Coop

Neighbors get 1 XP, 4 coins, and a chance at a Mystery Egg when they feed the chickens in your coop. Some FarmVille players won’t bother to visit a farm without a coop.

Fill your Coop with Golden Chickens

A neighbor who discovers a Golden Mystery Egg while feeding your coop will likey make it a point to return often. The only way your coop can produce Golden Mystery eggs is if it contains golden chickens, and a coop full of only golden chickens produces only Golden Mystery Eggs.

Post a FarmVille Invitation Asking Neighbors to Fertilize Your Crops

Each time you begin planting seeds in FarmVille, after a minute or two you should get a prompt asking if you want to invite neighbors to fertilize your crops. Also, when you’re helping on neighbors’ farms, you’ll get prompt at the first farm you visit after you’ve fertilized the crops asking if you want to tell neighbors about your good work, and maybe they’ll return the favor.

Ask for Help in Your Facebook Status

You can occasionally post a request as your Facebook status asking FarmVille neighbors to help on your farm. You can also post requests asking your non-FarmVille friends to start playing and become your neighbors.

Help on Your Neighbors’ Farms

Whenever you help on a neighbor’s farm, they should get a notice that you helped, which may prompt them to return the favor.

Send “Thank you” Notices

When your crops have been fertilized, click the two current-offers icons along the left edge of your FarmVille screen until you see one that says, “Send your friends a message to thank them:

You can also send a thank-you when you harvest your  coop fed by neighbors and you get a bonus instead of a Mystery Egg. A prompt will appear asking, “Do you want to thank your friends who fed your chickens?”, which then allows you to post a notice with a bonus for your FarmVille friends.
