Easter Fun Quest and Chocolate Bunny Collection Mission

A new 11 day traditional Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  The reward for the Collection Mission is an Easter Palm.

Note from Freyashawk:  Feeling a bit under the weather, but doing as best as I can today.  Please look at tasks as well as Crop and Batch Production Lists until I have a chance to look through it all again.
I think of all of my good friends I met through this game, and hope and pray you are well and safe in this dreadful time.  Bless you all!  Thank you for supporting HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest as well.
