Introducing~Cascadian Farm’s Newest FarmVille Initiative & WIN!
Cascadian Farm®, a pioneer in the organic food industry, is blazing yet another new trail as they become the first official branded – and organic – crop to be offered in Zynga´s popular online game, FarmVille. Joining forces, Cascadian Farm and Zynga will provide an innovative gaming experience for FarmVille fans, breathing virtual life into real world organic farming within the largest online agricultural space.
Beginning July 19 through July 26, Cascadian Farm will provide FarmVille players with a variety of benefits including, coupon offers, organic farming and green living tips, as well as the opportunity to build up their farm quickly. During the week-long partnership, branded Cascadian Farm organic blueberry crops will be the most profitable FarmVille crop offered in the game, to beginner and expert FarmVille players.
The brand has also recreated the real Cascadian Farm, located in the Upper Skagit Valley of Washington’s North Cascade Mountains. The virtual Cascadian Farm will carry out the brand´s mission to grow good and honest food by encouraging FarmVille users to harvest crops that are free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. All of their online fruits and vegetables will be planted with the same ideals and values found in organic culture, while also sharing the rewards from playing the game with Cascadian Farm´s online fan base.
To further connect with other FarmVille users, Cascadian Farm has created an avatar farmer called “Farmer Joe Cascadian,” who was inspired by the brand´s real-life farmers. “Farmer Joe” will serve as the “virtual” tender to the brand´s own FarmVille farm and users can request to be his neighbor by “friend-ing” him online at www.facebook.com/farmerjoecascadian and by using the FarmVille application to become his neighbor in-game.

Scene It? Trivia Game Comes To Facebook
Scene It?, the number one DVD trivia game worldwide, is now available for play in beta on Facebook! As you know, players start by creating a “Hollywood hopeful”, a customizable avatar, and then start playing movie-themed trivia and puzzles. A new quiz is addedeach day, all featuring licensed content from movie studios, giving players a great reason to come back 365 days a year. As players earn “glitz points” and level up, they have the ability to purchase amazing clothing, houses, pets, jewelry etc. for their super stylish avatar.
What’s also new, is that they just started our second monthly Tournament, where users play one themed quiz per week (FB connections make up their team). They can invite friends to join in, and points get combined into an overall team score. Prizes include a MacBook pro, iPod and Scene It? board games, making it fun, competitive and compelling.
The expansion from strictly a retail box game to the world of online has been an interesting one. They can be much more nimble with updating the content, customizing quizzes, allowing user-generated-content and predictions and creating a different look & feel for the game than we do with the box editions. They have been growing the Facebook game organically, tapping into movie buffs, Scene It? fans, and the generally huge Facebook community, but it’s new territory for them. Play a couple quizzes, feel free to blog or Tweet about it, and definitely let them know what you think! www.facebook.com/sceneitonline
Have Fun!
