Amidst the deluge of new items and features coming from FarmVille English Countryside, FarmVille Freak has found one gem in particular that's pretty astounding. If you open any Mystery Gift while playing FarmVille in England, it will have a chance of dropping vehicles. No, not Vehicle Parts or run-down rigs like the Broken Combine, but 100 percent complete Tractors, Seeders and Harvesters. Come to think of it, these are kind of useless in light of the Broken Combine that's sitting on English farms just waiting to be fixed. (Not to mention it's free.) Well, at least each rig sells for a good amount of coin--oh, never mind.

FarmVille English Countryside Sheep Pen Goals: Everything you need to know
The best part of the English Countryside expansion is probably the Goals. This relatively new feature to FarmVille guides you along into creating everything you need for your farm. In this case, the Sheep Pen Goals will task you with creating your own Sheep Pen and later breed your first Ewe. Join us behind the break to see how it's done.
1. Et Tu, Brutus?
Buy a Sheep Pen
Visit 6 Neighbors
View your Progress
Et Tu, Brutus
This Goal will lead you straight to the Sheep Pen if you click on the button "Get Sheep Pen" in the Goal's window. Thankfully, you can visit neighbors on either their original farms or their English farms for it to count. And finally, viewing your progress is as easy as clicking on the map button next to the Plow Tool. For completing this Goal, you'll net a cool 200 XP, 1,500 coins and Brutus the Ram to get you started.
2. Please Fence Me In
Complete a Sheep Pen
Buy and Place 8 Country Fences
Expand your farm to an English Homestead
Please Fence Me In
To find out how to complete the Sheep Pen, check out our full guide. Country Fences cost 300 coins a piece and can be found in the Decorations section in the Market. Expanding your farm is simple enough: Just click on the borders of your farm and the option will appear in the Market. However, this expansion costs 25 thousands coins and all expansion require Surveyors, which we covered in a neat little guide. Complete this Goal and you'll receive an Old Garage, 200 XP and 1,500 coins.
3. I'll Get Ewe
Buy one Ewe
I'll Get Ewe
That's it. Honestly. Just snag one Ewe by clicking on the "Get Sheep" button and this Goal is complete. Just for this simple task, 200 XP, 2,000 coins and five Love Potions are yours.
4. On the Lamb
Breed and produce a Lamb
Place on Lamb on your farm
Feed your Lamb 10 Baby Bottles
On the Lamb
To learn how to breed Sheep, check out our guide right here. Once that's all said and done, you'll receive 1,500 coins, 250 XP, a Golden Sheep Statue and Gertrude the Ewe. And now you're ready to breed to your heart's content.

FarmVille English Countryside Pub Goals: Everything you need to know
Unfortunately, Zynga has yet to bring any of the old Crafting Buildings from the original FarmVille to the English Countryside. Bah! Who needs them when we have our very own Pub to brew delicious beers and wines in and get wasted in? Like all of the new features in this expansion, they're accompanied by a series of Goals. In this case, there are five Goals leading to the creation (and liberal use) of the Pub.
1. Listen Up
Visit 6 Neighbors
View your Progress
Listen Up
That was easy enough, huh? Just give six friends a visit and click on the map icon above the Gifts button to complete this quest. Your reward? Enjoy 1,500 coins, 100 XP and a Bench.
2. Rodents of Ruin
Get 6 Mouse Traps
Harvest 75 Hops
Harvest 75 Barley
Rodents of Ruin
To get the six Mouse Traps, you'll need to ask your friends directly through the "Ask Friends" button within the Goal window. Hops cost 150 coins a piece and Barley costs 80 coins, so the combined cost for this Goals comes to 17,250 coins. And unless you already have a massive farm, this Goal is going to take at least one day to finish dependent upon your space constraints and cash reserves. Either way, enjoy the 2,000 coins, 200 XP and 5 Farm Cash as reward.
3. Stock the Bar
Get 6 Pint Glasses
Harvest 100 Bluebell Flowers
Stock the Bar
Again, you'll need to ask your friends for the 6 Pint Glasses through the Goal's menu window. Since Bluebell Flowers cost 120 coins a piece, this Goal will cost you 12 thousand coins even. At least, this Goal will take 12 hours to complete given the crops' harvest timer. Finish this Goal to earn 2,500 coins, 250 XP and, finally, your Pub.
4. Lagerheads
Place the Pub on your Farm
Make the Duke's Stout Recipe two times
Buy one Pub Cat
Lagerheads
The Pub will be in your Gift Box waiting to be placed, so go on and do it. The Duke's Stout recipe is the first brew you'll craft, so check our guide right here to find out how to use the Pub. Once that's through, buy one Pub Cat through the Market for 5 thousand coins and consider this Goal finished. A Pub Sign Decoration, 2,500 coins and 250 XP will serve as your reward.
5. A Berry Good Drink
Harvest 100 Red Currants
Make Oliviaberry Beer twice
A Berry Good Drink
Red Currants are basically the Strawberries of the English Countryside, so they'll only take four hours to harvest. However, this Goal will put you 4 thousand coins in the hole. Again, to find out how to create Oliviaberry Beer and other recipes check out our guide. This final Goal will reward players with 5 thousand coins, 500 XP and a Pub Keeper outfit for your avatar. After this, the Duke will appear and inform you that this is the final Goal in the English Countryside at the moment, so continue farming as you please.

FarmVille Express: Zynga working on mobile browser version? [Rumor]
According to this single image found by a FarmVille Freak tipster, that very well may be the case. A mobile browser-based version of FarmVille may be in the works at Zynga. The website reports that readers are reaching this screen when attempting to log into their mobile farm via the existing. However, those readers' claims strike us as odd considering what's displayed is clearly the Safari browser on an iPhone.
FarmVille Freak goes on to say that the app isn't completely functional at the moment. When we attempted to reach this same page through the native FarmVille app for iPhone, we simply arrived at our existing farms. But when trying to access FarmVille from Safari by typing in "www.farmville.com," we were redirected to "m.farmville.com/fx/" and a message that reads, "Howdy Partners! FarmVille is currently not available for this device."
The fact that we were redirected to that web address suggests that perhaps mobile web version of FarmVille really is in the works, but the release of this image was accidental. If you remember, Zynga approached players earlier this year with a survey asking players what they would want from a mobile web version of the game. Why Zynga would suddenly release a mobile web version of its flagship game after working so hard to bring the native FarmVille app up to speed is beyond us.
FarmVille Express full
This news follows the mild announcement of a new Mafia Wars game for iOS, Shakedown. More importantly, this news comes just after Zynga's mobile head David Ko told The Guardian that he thought HTML5, commonly used by game developers to make mobile web game like what FarmVille Express appears to be, is still too early. Though, there is Facebook's Project Spartan to consider. We've contacted Zynga for comment.

What do you think this leaked image means? Would you rather play a mobile web version of FarmVille on your iPhone than the native app that's available now? Sound off in the comments. 1 Comment
