what is farmville on facebook?

[Hello Kitteh (:]

It's a game. You customize a character and own a farm. You plow the land, buy seeds and plant them, then wait for the plants to grow. You then harvest your produce. You can decorate your farm with barns, houses, ponds, fences etc... There are also a variety of fruit trees you can put all over the farm, and you can own animals like cows, chickens, horses, sheep, pigs etc.
Harvesting your produce, trees and animals earns you money, which can be used to buy more seeds and farm decorations. In the game you progress to higher levels by gaining experience points.
I used to play Farmville but found it was way too time-consuming so I stopped!
