Pigiatura Time Quest and Baskets Collection Mission

Grape Pressing in traditional fashion.  The word 'Pigiatura' refers to pressing or treading and is the method by which grapes were pressed for hundreds of years after harvest in order to be able to make wine from the raw must.

Two Notes:  All aspects of the new Update are given in the next post on this site.  Second, the Farm Beauty Contest is drawing to a close and Harvest Moon FDC desperately needs your Votes in order to place again in the top 10.  This is Freyashawk's Farm and our Group on Facebook is Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk, so in a way, placing in the top 10 advances our Group.  In any case, you may have noticed that I do not place any advertisements on my site and thus make no money from this.  Your Votes in the Farm Beauty Contests do make me feel that my work to keep the site updated is appreciated.

As though we did not have sufficient on our plates with the new update requiring us to completely redesign our farms with paths, Pet House and Guest Centre, they have released the usual fortnightly quest with Collection Mission.  It is the Pigiatura Time Quest and Baskets Collections Mission.  As has been the trend lately, the Collections Missions alternate between Tree Rewards and Stove House Recipe Rewards.  The last one gave us a new Tree... this one gives us a new Stove House Recipe in the form of the Autumn Beef Roast Recipe.

Here is the traditional Quest sequence:

Pigiatura Time Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pigiatura Time 2
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Father:  I would visit them every year on their farm towards the end of summer when the grapes were ready to be harvested.  If I remember right they called it 'vendemmia'.  Ah... those were the days!

Pigiatura Time 3
