Gourmet Ranch dishes out some of the most engaging aspects of social games, with a combined farming and baking game where players grow organic crops and raise animals in their virtual backyard. Players can then prepare and serve meals to share with their friends, earning cash to expand and decorate their ranch in a mountain wilderness environment. Gourmet Ranch also encourages players to lend a helping hand to friends in order to boost the value of their properties. The game currently has half a million monthly active users.
