Free Gift Crops - Where they come from.


ALL CROPS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR COIN - no need to send as free gifts or go hunting for the ones you need to complete a mission.





Many free gift crops have other ways of getting stocks of them. So, below is an alphabetical table showing where they all come from.

Most Free Gift Crops will drop from the Crazy Cornucopia and all have a chance of dropping from Free Range Animals and when Protecting the Campaign.

Please note, this only contains free gift crops and is complete to the best of our knowledge. We have only shown methods folks can get them REGULARLY, so no one-off crates. It also doesn't include the crops that can drop from the Giving Tree (premium, limited edition purchase).

[PLEASE NOTE: The crops are in alphabetical order but you can also use Control-F to open the browser search dialogue.]
