Expanding Your Farm In Farmville

Do you want more land for your animals in Farmville? Do you have more decorations than you can fit on your farm? You don't have to use Farmville cheats to expand your farm. With Farmville's land expansion option it is possible to transform your farm into a giant plantation. You can maximize profits by purchasing upgrades.


Currently, there are six available farm upgrades: Homestead, Family Farm, Big Family Farm, Plantation, Big Ole Plantation and Mighty Plantation.

Homestead

The land expansion available first in Farmville is Homestead. The Homestead is a 14x14 farm. It costs 10,000 coins. You are also required to have at least 8 neighbors. If you have 10,000 coins but do not have 8 neighbors, you will not be able to expand your land.

Family Farm

The Family Farm is the next upgrade. The Farmily Farm will expand your farm to 16x16. You need to have 25,000 coins and 10 neighbors to upgrade.

Big Family Farm

You can upgrade to the Big Family Farm after the Family Farm. The size of your farm will then be 18x18. Either coins or farm cash can be used to buy this upgrade. You need 50,000 coins or 20 farm cash.

Plantation

The fourth expansion, the plantation, is 20x20. You required 16 neighbors for this upgrade. You can use farm cash or coins for this expansion. This expansion will cost you either 20 farm cash or 75,000 coins. 75,000 coins or 20 farm cash will buy this expansion. Using farm cash, though, removes the requirement for 16 neighbors.

Big Ole Plantation

The next size farm is the Big Ole Plantation at 22x22. You’ll require at least 20 farmville neighbors to upgrade. 250,000 coins will buy you this expansion.

Mighty Plantation

The Mighty Plantation wasn’t available until January 22. All Farmville players can’t get this upgrade. You need to be a fan to be eligible for this expansion.

At the moment, the Mighty Plantation is the largest farm upgrade available. To level up to Mighty Plantation, you need 500,000 coins and 30 neighbors. Instead of coins you can also use 60 farm cash.

You have to buy each upgrade in succession, don’t forget. You have to get the Homestead before you get the Family Farm, for example. You can’t skip over an upgrade. If you don’t meet the requirements or haven’t bought the upgrade below it, you won’t be able to buy an expansion. For example, if you don’t have the required number of neighbors).
