You can gain ribbons for many tasks on FarmVille and it is important to check out what you need to get a specific ribbon. Each task gets more difficult and requires more effort and others are dead simple to achieve. The cream of the crop ribbon is for harvesting. You do that anyway and it doesnt matter what you plant.
If you plant often and quickly you can get this ribbon rapidly. I would start with strawberries which you can plant a lot of and swiftly ripens, then at night plant a crop or two or three that will be ready to harvest by morning.
The Animal shelter ribbon is for adopting stray animals that people put on the newsfeed. Its not as easy to get this one because you have to be quick but check out your neighbours profile pages as well as your news feed pages regularly and try and accept to adopt as soon as its posted.
Noahs Ark ribbon is for animals. Collecting animals from friends and adopting saves you coins by not having to buy any. You need 12 different animals to get the ribbon. The great thing is there are heaps of varied animals in the game and often special animals that come out for a limited period. Leave a message board for neighbours to gift you which animals you need and naturally you can return the favour.
Free gifts are a marvel and are good when collecting the Not spoiled, Gifted ribbon. The key here is to leave gifts in your gift box and not remove them. Again you can ask neighbours for gifts you dont have yet and ensure that you have at least one of a lot of gifts. Having 5 of a particular item does not count towards the total, hence the unique title. Once you collect your ribbon you can put the gifts on your farm or sell them for coins. Your adopted animals will count too.
A difficult ribbon to get is the Tree hugger because you are required to harvest a number of unique trees. You dont want to buy trees because the key to these hints is to not spend money. Ask your neighbours once again and you can re pay the favour to them.
