Hmm... looks pretty good. You think Applejack will let me book a room?
Applejack: Now any wanderin' Rabbit's got a safe place to stay.
Applejack: But I'd be a poor rancher if I didn't secure some grub for my guests!
Applejack: Let's plant a Carrot Patch -- Sweet Apple Acres' top-notch soil is fertile enough to support trees AND tubers!

I've never been one for getting my claws too dirty, but even I'm tempted by those veggies!
Applejack: Well look at that! Our Carrot crop is ready for harvest!
Applejack: Sheesh -- I'm a little nervous! I hope our Carrots are as good as our apples...
Applejack: Only one way to find out. Wanna help me rustle up some Rabbit snacks?
Applejack: Can't rely on my high-powered hooves for this one -- I'll have to use my teeth to pluck these veggies! Or MAYBE a certain li'l dragon will help me out...

Applejack: Fluttershy'd be proud! Our rabbits are snug as bugs in rugs and enjoyin' Sweet Apple Acres' newest Carrot crop.
Applejack: Now we'll just need to make sure our critters STAY well fed!

Looks like Sweet Apple Acres is officially expanding its services. I, for one, can't wait to visit all the critters!
Fluttershy: Oh, Applejack, this looks just wonderful... If we work together, we can make sure any critter who passes through Ponyville is well taken care of!
Applejack: I'm mighty pleased to hear that from the critter expert herself. I took all my inspiration from you, pardner!
Applejack: Of course, we'll need all the hooves we can get on this here project -- an' I'm sure our friends will help us make Ponyville into a critter paradise!
Cows
Back to check on the farm, pardner? I got good news -- the rabbits an' carrots are gettin' along like whipped cream on hay pie.
Things are goin' so well, me and Granny and the gang decided we'd rustle up a li'l expansion... Y'know, make room for even more company!
And I ain't talkin' rabbits -- I'm talkin' hooves and bells and chewin' cud. That's right, Sweet Apple Acres is makin' room for cows!
Bats! ... Again?
Well, shoot! I KNEW this whole scheme seemed suspiciously simple... There's rogue Fruit Bats nestin' in our barn plot! Ugh, can ya help me shoo 'em off... very, VERY carefully?

Hey, it's looking downright pastoral around here!
Baled Out
Whew, that's tough work. Good thing we wrangled all those barrels o' fresh water -- I could really use a gulp or two.
O' course, if we want the best an' freshest milk this side of Ponyville, we'll need five-star accommodations and five-star cuisine for our cattle critter guests!
Ya feel me? We need a real Cattle Ranch AND a Grain Farm! Hey, maybe Sweet Apple Acres could dip its hooves into bread-makin'... Can you imagine how good it'd smell around here?
Any Cattle Ranch worth the name has gotta be well stocked with Haystacks... They're real cozy, and tasty too! And they ain't just a snack for critters... Heheh... but maybe I'll have just a little nibble.
Baled Out

The Cattle Ranch looks nice and sturdy thanks to your hard work... If only Applejack would stop stealing bites of all that hay!

Come along now, heifers! Your perfect pasture awaits!
Expandin' the farm like this is a challenge... We've never done anythin' like it before -- but friends like you sure make it easier!
With your help, we'll give Sweet Apple Acres' new cows a comfy an' productive life. Come check on 'em every once in a while, won't ya? You'll be welcomed with open hooves!

That's an impressive-lookin' Grain Farm! Applejack won't mind if I sample a little for my ruby-and-oat cereal, will she...?
Chickens
New quests of the critter ranch was added in Update 8.8 and introduced Chickens.
Maybe if we move this slightly to the side, it'd fit... WHAT IN TARNATION?!
Oh! It's you, pardner! You almost scared me out of my horseshoes... I must've been lost in my own little world. But I sure am glad to see ya!
I'm working on Sweet Apple Acres' next expansion, and it's a real wake-up call. Yep: We're finally bringing chickens to the farm! Say it with me: COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!
Only trouble is, those Fruit Bats are back... We're about to do some heavy lifting around these parts, which could be dangerous for 'em. Let's see if we can corral 'em into someplace quieter!

I'm sure the Fruit Bats will be much happier in that quieter part of the orchard over there. Good job, everypony!
All in a Day's Work
Good! Now, bringin' chickens here is gonna cost us a hefty sum, so we'd best make sure we have the funds up front. I'm sure the shops 'round town would oblige us if we worked a few shifts for 'em...

Phew! Applejack never backs away from a challenge when it comes to fixing up Sweet Apple Acres. I'm tired just from watching her!
Don't Go It Alone
Yeehaw! We did it! That should be enough to cover the basic buildin' materials... But we're gonna need to special-order a few things, too.
Maybe one o' those expeditions that's always leavin' town can pick us up what we're lookin' for? Never know what you're gonna find when you're adventuring in parts unknown!

We're nearly ready, I reckon... But I've been thinkin'. We shooed those pesky Fruit Bats away... but what about VAMPIRE Fruit Bats? They might scare the eggs plumb out of our chickens!

'Course, if we wanna keep THAT kinda pest away, we're gonna need more than just your average scarecrow... But I think Zecora can help make exactly what we need! Let's pay her a visit...

Ohhh, I get it... Vampires don't like mirrors, so Vampire FRUIT BATS probably don't like crystals! Because they're also reflective! ... I think.

Well, I guess nopony will ever oversleep at Sweet Apple Acres ever again. And that's just how we like it. The early pony gets the hay!
Thank ya kindly, partner. Without you, this chickens' paradise wouldn't have been the same. I'll be sure to put some fresh eggs aside for you, first chance I get!

Precious Cargo
Captain Hoofbeard: Arrrr ha ha harrr! Ahoy once again, brave Fluttershy -- avast and prepare to be hugged!
Fluttershy: C-Captain Hoofbeard!? From our adventure in the Gallopinghost Islands...? It IS you! Oh, it's wonderful to see you again! How have you and Jewel been?
Captain Hoofbeard: Better than ever, and thank ye for askin'! In fact, it's on behalf of my mermare filly-love that I've come to see you today...
Captain Hoofbeard: You see, I've told Jewel's mermare mateys so many tales about you and your friends... that, eventually, they asked if they could visit this "Ponyville" for themselves!
Captain Hoofbeard: So, you... er... wouldn't happen to have a fair-to-middling body of water nearby, now, would you? Mermares being famously averse to dry land, and such...
Fluttershy: Mermares? Here!? O-Of course! We'd be happy to have them! If fresh water is okay, there's always Ponyville Pond... We could even build them a guesthouse in the deep end!
Captain Hoofbeard: Why... that'd be more 'n' hospitable of you! Thank ye kindly, Fluttershy!
Fluttershy: Heehee... Don't mention it! The only thing we'd have to figure out is how to get the mermares INTO the pond. There aren't any outlets to the sea from there, so--
Fluttershy: Wait... How did YOU get here, Captain Hoofbeard? Ponyville is an awfully long way from Horseshoe Bay... and it's overland, too!
Captain Hoofbeard: Er... Yes. About that.
Fluttershy: ... Oh.
Captain Hoofbeard: "Oh" is right. That be the last time I strike a bargain with a sea witch to "take me and my ship staright to Ponyville"!
Fluttershy: Oh, yes... sea witches are bad news! Twilight says, if you absolutely HAVE to hire one to cast you a spell, you should always be extra sure to work out the details in writing, first.
Captain Hoofbeard: Wise words from a wiser pony. What REALLY gets my sea-goat is, I had a full cargo of Horseshoe Bay pineapples in my hold at the time! Likely strewn halfway across Ponyville by now...
Fluttershy: So THAT'S what the pile of broken crates on the outskirts of town is...! It's too bad we can't reach it from here, or we could rebuild it into a a wonderful little fruit stand...
Captain Hoofbeard: Aye... Wait -- "can't reach it"? What d'ye mean? The crates be right over yonder -- and my ship too!
Fluttershy: Oh... W-Well, it's just that... I don't think we're supposed to build ANYTHING that far away from the town center! I'm not sure why... (Maybe it's a zoning issue...?)
Captain Hoofbeard: Hmm... Seems to be the sort of rule that was set for no reason, and that harms more ponies than it helps -- exactly the kind of rule that's made to be broken! That be the Pirate Code!
Fluttershy: I-It is?! Wow... I didn't know pirates even HAD a code!
Captain Hoofbeard: We do when it suits us, Fluttershy... and now is one of those times! Let us sail forward, explore the farther reaches of Ponyville, and -- most importantly -- rescue my ship and cargo!
Horseshoe Bay Pineapples are worth more than their weight in gold -- but ye can't eat gold now, can ye? Help me build a stall to sell 'em with, and Ponyville will be all the sweeter for it!
Shipshape!
What be a pirate without his ship? No pirate at all, I say! Help me make my beloved vessel seaworthy again -- even if I have to park 'er on dry land for a spell!
Leveling the Librarian
I've considered moving to Ponyville for some time, but... Hmm, I just don't know. Is whoever's running it really experienced enough for me...? I can't abide an untidy library...

On Tiberius' Trail!
Princess Luna: I'm free, now.. For good. And I should be happy but still... My pet possum Tiberius is missing -- gone, ever since I returned to my senses.
Princess Luna: I thought he might be hiding under my bed, but when I went to search for him... He was nowhere to be found. And I don't even know where to start looking...
Princess Celestia: Perhaps you could start by focusing on finding your footing in Equestria again? I'm sure Tiberius will show up on his own once he's certain you're not Nightmare Moon any longer.
Princess Luna: Yes, you're right... I'm sure there are plenty of useful tasks I can help with around the kingdom.

Twilight Sparkle: What's going on? All of a sudden, Ponyville's been completely overrun by... well, Plant Ponies! Not that we don't like having visitors or anything, but this is a bit much...
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie tried to welcome them to town, but it... Uh... didn't work? They just kind of... stand there, unsettlingly. And Pinkie Pie is usually REALLY good at welcoming ponies!
Twilight Sparkle: Anyway, would you mind helping me track all of them down? And maybe convince them to move somewhere else? So they don't keep staring at everypony... without blinking...

Wow. That... raises more questions than it answers?
Twilight Sparkle: This is... Um... Well, THIS can't be right. The only semi-trustworthy sources I can find on those Plant Ponies says they're... Um... from outer space?!?!
Twilight Sparkle: On the other hoof... I guess Princess Luna DID live on the the Moon for about a thousands years. So it's not exactly unprecedented...
Twilight Sparkle: A-Anyway... if there are any xenobiologist or astronomer ponies with an interest in this sort of thing... A whole new field of inquiry awaits them!
Twilight Sparkle: You know what? I don't even mind if those Plant Ponies come back to town later. Especially now that we know a little more about them!
Twilight Sparkle: And that's the wonderful thing about new discoveries: There's so much in Equestria we don't understand yet. Or that we don't even KNOW we don't know! Oooh, it's SO exciting!
