This is my farm. I take a lot of heat for being a virtual farmer, but it's a great way to relax and I love how I get to organize my farm exactly the way I want it. I'm not the only one addicted to virtual farming either. There are plenty of other farmers working their fields on Farm Town. In fact, I met a virtual farmer who has become what I would call a pretty good friend. (I know it sounds strange, but we have had some really great conversations while harvesting and plowing each other's fields.)
Like I said, I take a lot of heat for my farming addiction. My husband will come home and see that I haven't done a whole lot and mock that I must have been working in the fields all day. Or I just reach for my computer and he wants to know if I'm going to be harvesting. I could be checking email and he thinks I'm planting crops.
I love how you can send flowers, trees and gifts to your friends on Farm Town. It's nice to log into Facebook and see that my fellow virtual farmers have sent me a rose or a dogwood tree or even a horse for my farm. I love the pigs the most. I like how if you click on them you have the option of making them sleep. They look so cute when they plop down and sleep.
You may notice in the picture that my farm is named Schrute Farm. Right now I'm growing beats, like Dwight on The Office. But when I get bored, I change the name of my farm, change the name of my avatar, rearrange the surroundings a little or delete everything and start fresh if I want to.
Laugh all you want, but once you start planting crops and harvesting them, then going to the market to sell them, you'll become addicted too. The first time someone sends you a pink hammock or a giraffe topiary shrub, you'll set it on your farm, move it a little to the left, move it a little to the right, and play with the placement over and over until it's just so. So yeah, go ahead and laugh, but I know the truth.
