First of all, I would like to thank every one who voted for Freyashawk's farm, Harvest Moon FDC in the last Farm Beauty Contest. I never received so many votes and placed 9th! I am deeply grateful for your continuing support. Thanks to each and every one!

THIS POST NOW IS COMPLETE. If you do not see all tasks, you need to refresh the page.
Issue with Lingonberry Pot fixed and Felicia gave every player 10 Lingonberries in a Message. You therefore should be in good shape to make the first Lingonberry dish and do not skip that one as you will need it as an ingredient later in the Quest.
The full list of tasks in the traditional Quest sequence is given below, but farmers often find a list of all Crops and all Batch Production items useful. Here they are:

Boots Collection Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The reward for the Collection Mission is a 'Collectable' in the form of the Lingonberry Pot that produces every 4 hours.
Strategies and Tips:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Every farmer has his or her own preferences, but my first recommendation is that you complete the Collection Mission before you move on to begin the traditional Quest sequence. Low level farmers in particular should focus on the Collection Mission as they may not be able to perform all Quest tasks. Usually the Collection Mission item will appear in the Market after the Mission expires, but it will require RC to purchase. Furthermore, in this case, where the Collection Mission Reward is a 'Collectable', you need to place it on your farm as early as possible to allow collection of the product to proceed. There is no way to speed the harvest of a 'Collectable'.
Every Collection Mission requires a Premium Tree. In this case, it is the Plum Tree. There is no point in 'dodging the bullet' so to speak by not purchasing the premium tree. It will be required again and again in these Missions. Buying Tree fruits from other farmers is great when it is only the fruit that is needed, but in these Missions, you actually need to HARVEST the Tree. If you are reluctant to spend RC, look in the Green Mystron department of the Market on a daily basis and in the Daily Deals section where you can use TC instead. You can find premium Animals and Machines randomly in the Green Mystrons section of the Market as well. Ultimately, you will need all Animals, Trees and Machines. The developers have increased use of premium items in these Quests recently.
N.B. You now can keep a Tree in the Tree Nursery and harvest it individually as well as obtain the Collection item needed if it is part of a Collection Mission. In other words, if your Plum Tree is in the Tree Nursery, you can obtain Pink Boots from it randomly by using Watering Cans/Super Watering Cans on it.
My second tip is to set the Monkey Boost to reduce Machine/Animal OP cost. This is done by selecting the 2nd icon of the Machine in the Monkey Boost Menu. In this particular Quest in particular, there are many tasks that require production by Animals and Machines. Reducing OP cost can make a significant difference.
This Quest, however, requires a prodigious amount of Power as well, so perhaps farmers would be best served by looking at the ingredients for every dish that is given as a task so the ingredients, when themselves Kitchen dishes, can be made in advance. I know I used over 300 Power to complete the traditional Quest.
Note for New Farmers: You will find that the second half of the Quest requires a higher level than the first and includes some Island tasks. Island Machines have a system of 'Mastery' wherein new Products are unlocked when you have made a specific number of Products using that Machine. There are a couple of Products that require advanced Master in the form of the Strawberry Bread and the Ostrich Hats. The Machines themselves are fairly advanced. On the Island, you need a specific number of Dev Points or a specific expansion in order to be able to unlock a new Machine. In some cases, the Machine will be placed on a specific expansion so if you lack sufficient Dev Points to purchase it from the Market, you can obtain it by completing the expansion.
Neighbour Request Items:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is a note for new players. There are two different types of Neighbour Requests. One is contained in specific Quests such as the request for the Fleece Neck Gaiters. When you make this sort of Request, it goes into the Chat option in the game and you then need to collect your Items from Chat. Go then to the task list and choose 'Use' from the task menu itself. You cannot use these items from your Gift Box.
It is the OTHER type of Request, which is made from the Free Gifts Menu or from an Upgrader Menu or other Upgrade Menu in a Building that will go into a Message to your Neighbours and/or Buddies. When you receive the Item, you usually can use it either from the Upgrade Menu itself (where it shows a gift box icon for any items received) or from your Gift Box, but of course, you need to collect them first by collecting all the items sent through the Messages option.
You can make one item request daily from the Free Gifts Menu. Lately, players have been using far too many items from their Barns because of all the new options in the game. Need for Wheat Flour, Milk, Honey and Cheddar Cheese has thus increased even among advanced players. There is one Recipe ingredient in the traditional quest sequence that requires 5 Honey and 2 Cheddar Cheese to make. You will need 12 of these, which means a total of 70 Honey and 24 Cheddar Cheese. This is only one example. The Quests are becoming more demanding in general.
I have included the amount of Power required for each Dish or Task in brackets next to the item required. Adding all of these gave me a total of 434 Power required if you did not have any of the required ingredients in your Barn. I am not the best with a calculator and that was what I used... in any case, it is a tremendous amount of Power!
Island Mastery
xxxxxxxxxxxx
It has been a long time since I first unlocked the Island and built all the Machines and earned the Mastery required to make all the products. I researched it again for this Quest and found that EVERY ISLAND MACHINE TASK in this Quest requires 2 Star Mastery. Be warned! It appears that the developers are making these quests increasingly challenging... 3 Star Mastery may be required soon!
