Facebook's FarmVille Comes to Farmville VA

FarmVille Comes to Farmville VA

This week started out with the Town of Farmville, The Tree Planting Foundation, Zynga (Virtual Game FarmVille) and Edy's Fruit Bars joining together to plant a community orchard next to the Wilck's Lake Boat Ramp.

Top players from the FarmVille game were brought in from around the country to help plant a real orchard consisting of the very same trees they plant so often on their virtual farm. Volunteers of all ages came out to join in the fun of creating this orchard, including our own Brock Robinson.

After planting a tree volunteers were given a BBQ lunch, refreshing Edy's products and enjoyed some Bluegrass music.

I'm this orchard will only add to the charm and character of our town, but it might also let everyone know, that yes Farmville is a real place.
