Goodgame Studios continues to see growing success with their mobile game BIG FARM: Mobile Harvest. To celebrate this success with the BIG FARM community, today BIG FARM: Mobile Harvest will launch their ‘Big Farm Forest’ Charity event, where players can collect tree saplings on their farm while doing their daily farm quests and tasks.

The brand extends Goodgame’s ‘BIG’ segment of products which so far includes BIG FARM and BIG FARM: Mobile Harvest.
