No Island/Northern Lights Farm Yet?

I've run out of greenhouse seeds, horse tournament is about 1 month running, but MY HORSES CAN'T TRAIN!

Even if our buddy comes to sell seeds for the greenhouse, I don't have shells/rune stones to buy it with.

Does anyone know why we don't have island farms back yet?

    thanks Dara15!

    I just hope GGS made a post about it. I heard about it, but I just hope GGS posted something like, island farms won't be back until ...."

    Right now, I'm sort of happy because the islands are not here yet, (lots of upgrading done), but horse tournaments are way too fun at the beginning, then depressing if horses can't be trained much. :(

    FYI: Much appreciation for the candy farm coming.

    Nafaru have given us that information, we'll not get a new tempory farm before a new update have taken place.
    Furthermore she told us, we not get a new update in this week, and we also have get several hint's that the next temp. farm will be a candy farm.

    Since we by that way now know the next temp farm not will start before earliest next week, we have several days to doing longtime upgrading processes...
    - I use the waiting time to upgrading my training arenas, since I anyway not can use them (I'm also out of horseshoes and greenhouse seeds and fruits)

    You are lucky you have enough golden shoes. My arenas are all level 8 now, and not nearly enough shoes to upgrade... And not enough shoes to train horses ;) So, i'm kind of stuck with them ;)
    Tessa, Lester and George won't compete anymore (all level 124) and all i can do is try to train one horse at the time with 20 horseshoes... Ship doesn't give enough shoes when filling only 4 boxes. And of course horse tournament is on now, so there is a chance to have some golden shoes and rewards.
    I never done any island entirely, just some first tasks and rest of time i have been growing oranges... ;)

    I just hope that new coming candy farm will be something different than others, but let's see when it's coming

    Yes, challenge as many horses that's possible for you, that's the way to earn a lot of golden horseshoes :)

    I hope the Upgrade and Candy Farm will be compatable with Windows 10...

    By the way, yes there WOULD BE a Candy Farm...
    I found this from NAFARU's post:http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/showthread.php?139612-Do-a-NO-GOLD-Co-op-Challenge&p=1751710#post1751710
    ...This is to keep the waiting time shorter and not leave you without any challenging events and also due to the fact that the upcoming candy farm will push the next cooperative challenge back a little further.

    Couldn't have been meant to be much of a surprise. I, and many others, received an e-mail about it.

    Well, I think the delay of Island has to do with the friends. They are giving time for players to get 10 friends to join so they can get the Friendship airport. Since at the moment You have to have 10 friends to get the airport and not using any pennies until you do....

    i saw a pretty good thread for helping get the whole island farms done, they say that you need at least $100,000 in farm money tho, and i also have been taking this 1st break in a long time to do upgrades. It's kind of a shame that we get so many islands that use up so much money that we can't spare it for upgrades (my farm is at level 124) i end up running the last part of the island by making a few mil a day on my farm, i don't start out at $100,000
    it's nice we have so much to do now, but it gets to be a little too much sometimes

    well, now i somehow lost my bookmark to the island thread i mentioned but this one pretty much lists all the island tasks, i'll keep looking and edit in the link i saw before..

    This sounds like the link you were thinking of: https://bigfarmtips.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/how-to-complete-the-island-without-using-gold/

    There's more help and a task breakdown on my own website if you need it: http://turtleoatsgang.weebly.com/tips.html

    That too... Have you had 10 friends yet? Though they haven't announced this mix-up/feature in the friendship airport announcement, that makes sense.

    How you play the island really is up to you TripPsyc2. In my case, I just finish until chap 2. But reality kicked in that we need the island for horseshoes mainly, and the prizes as merely a bonus, IMO. So until I reach a goddess level, I just keep finishing Chap 1, sell as many tropical mixes, and keep the rest of the time upgrading and expanding the main island. :D

    Because the Island costs farm dollars and effort, but not actual money (Unless you choose) :)

    no,
    i found it... https://bigfarmtips.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/how-to-complete-the-island-without-using-gold/
    (edited in:)LOL it's the same one, it looked different when i put it on here....
    it's a guide to finishing without using gold
    but i'll take a look at the 2 you posted, thanks

    and omg! there's an airport exclusive to ppl who get 10 friends to play? i don't suppose it's available unless you get ppl to play? do you realize just how hard it is to get 10 ppl to sign up and actually play? that sounds kind of unfair i guess...well, i hope you all with 50+ facebook friends enjoy your new place, where-ever it may let you into :)
    my friends are tired of me sending them games to sign up for
