In honor of the launch of the English Countryside in FarmVille, Zynga has updated the Mystery Game with a full set of English animals. This Mystery Game udpated later than usual this week, rather than the Sunday night update that became the norm during the Winter Holiday season. We're not sure if this means that FarmVille is back to its original Tues/Thursday update scheme, but it is something to think about.
As for the Mystery Game itself, it will cost you 20 Farm Cash per dart, which is more than the normal price tag of 16 Farm Cash. For that price, you'll have a chance of receiving one of six animals:
Hedgehog
Jersey Cow
Mole
Red Fox
Short Hair Cat
Thoroughbred Horse
Of course, if you receive either the Jersey Cow or the Thoroughbred Horse, these two do come with the possibility of offspring. Place the Jersey Cow in the Dairy Farm and you'll have a chance at a Jersey Calf, while placing the Thoroughbred Horse in the Horse Stable will give you a chance to breed a Thoroughbred Foal that can be shared with friends.
You'll only have a few more days to win these exclusive items, so play fast to not miss your chance.
Which animal did you win from this week's Mystery Game?

FarmVille English Countryside Sweepstakes: Head to England in the real world too!
With the launch of the English Countryside in FarmVille comes the launch of the official English Countryside Sweepstakes, being thrown by Zynga. Zynga has been previewing this sweepstakes for a couple of weeks now, alerting players that some very lucky farmers are going to win free, real-world trips to England via the contest.
You'll see that the contest is now available to enter via a new bar that has appeared underneath the FarmVille gameplay window (whether you're playing on your Home Farm or in your new English Farm). You will need to have completed the Bon Voyage Party, or have simply bought your way into England in order to enter this contest.
The rules are simple: Once you've unlocked your second farm, simply travel to that farm to earn an entry into the sweepstakes. You'll be eligible to earn three more entries everyday of the contest by harvesting crops in the English Countryside, up to a maximum of 64 total entries per person during the contest's run, that ends on April 12.
Five Grand Prize winners will receive a 5 night trip for two to England, a mini HD video camera, and $5,000 in spending cash. 25 First Prizes offer 1,000 Farm Cash and a real-world FarmVille hoodie, and finally, 500 Second Prize winners will receive 150 Farm Cash.
What are you waiting for? If you haven't made your way to England make sure to check out our complete guide on how to reach your second farm the fastest, so you can start racking up entries to the contest! Good luck!

FarmVille English Countryside Dairy Farm Goals: Everything you need to know
FarmVille Lily
Just as the Village Map was revealed yesterday (spoilers!), Zynga released the Dairy Farm for all to see on the English Countryside. Well, at least it released the Goals to unlock and build your own Milk Machines in FarmVille. There is a series of four Goals that will grant you with a Dairy Farm, if you help Lily with her list of problems. There's always got to be problems.
1. How Dairy You
Get a new Cow
Harvest 100 Bluebells
How Dairy You
To get a new Cow, either just click on the button within the Goal window or head to the Market--they go for an easy 300 coins. Then, harvesting 100 Bluebells will cost 12 thousand coins and take at least 12 hours if you can plant them all at once. Complete this Goal to receive your very own Dairy Farm, 100 XP and 2,500 coins.
2. Say Cheese
Get 6 Cheese Cultures
Collect from your Dairy Farm twice
Say Cheese
Another simple Goal, these Cheese Cultures can be requested right from the Goal's menu window for your friends to answer. The second requirement will take some time as the cool down on collecting from buildings is considerable. Regardless, finishing this Goal will reward you with 200 XP, 5,000 coins and a Shorthorn Cow.
3. Showing Off
Achieve one Mastery Tier of Bluebells
Use a Combine 50 times
Expand the farm to 16x16
Showing Off
Now, things begin to get interesting, if a challenge is interesting to you. To achieve Bluebell Mastery, just keep plantin', but remember to use the Combine when you do to kill two birds with one stone. However, Fuel is tough to come by these days, so let's hope Zynga tweaks this second requirement. The 16x16 expansion to a Family Farm costs an insane 50 thousand coins, but the return on mastering Bluebells even just once should help a great deal in raising the money for this. You'll be rewarded with 7,500 coins, 300 XP and five Vehicle Parts.
4. Saving Dr. Fluffy
Visit 6 Neighbors
Get 6 Electric Torches
Harvest 100 Radishes
Saving Dr. Fluffy
In this fourth and final Goal, the requirements are surprisingly simple. First, just plant those 100 Radishes, which will cost you 9,000 coins and take 18 hours at the very least. Then, go off and visit your friends and request for Electronic Torches through the Goal's menu. Finally, this Goal will reward your success with the coveted Sheep Pen for your home farm, 500 XP and a Bunny to bounce around your farm.

FarmVille English Countryside Dig Site Goals: Everything you need to know
As if milking cows isn't a dirty-enough gig, it's time to get them dirty literally with the next set of Goals to the new FarmVille, the English Countryside. In these Goals, players will meet the illustrious Professor Milton of Drummund Institute Royal Tutor Society as he searches for rare artifacts. It's time get all Indiana Jones up in FarmVille--with less whip and more digging, unfortunately.
1. Dig It
Plow 100 Plots of farmland
Fertilize 25 Neighbor Crops (Total)
Dig It
Plowing 100 new Plots should be easy enough given the nice amount of room you have thanks to helping Lily out in the Dairy Farm. Fertilizing neighbor crops shouldn't be terribly difficult, but it will take at least five total visits to complete. Finish this Goal and enjoy 2,500 coins, 100 XP and an Ancient Cow Statue, as if you could do anything with that.
2. Book 'Em
Get 6 Old Books
Buy and Place one Storage Cellar
Book 'Em
Getting the Old Books is simple: Just use the "Ask Friends" button within the Goal window. Then, the Storage Cellar can be purchased directly from the Goal window or through the Market for a measly single coin. We imagine this is because it's attached to a Goal, but it could just as easily be a bug. The new Storage Cellar acts as a permanent gifting event like the Duck Pond or new English Wishing Well. Completing this Goal will reward you with 3,000 coins, 200 XP and an Ancient Duck Statue.
3. Past Pursuits
Harvest 100 Hops
Fertilize 25 Neighbor Crops (Total)
Past Pursuits
Again, you'll have to visit at least five friends to fertilize 25 crops total. This will be convenient especially when waiting for the 100 Hops you planted, which will cost 15 thousand coins and take at least 10 hours. Complete this simple Goal and 5,000 coins, 300 XP and Knight Armor, an Avatar costume, are yours.
4. Ancient Methods
Achieve Level 1 Hops Mastery
Harvest 50 Barley
Ancient Methods
This Goal will prove more time consuming, as you must master Hops to at least Tier 1, which will take 780 total harvests. The 50 Barley will cost you 8,000 coins and take at least 12 hours to harvest. Other than achieving Mastery, there isn't much else to this simple-yet-difficult Goal. Finish it to receive 7,500 coins, 400 XP and 5 Farm Cash.
5. Drinking in History
Harvest 50 Royal Hops
Make three Lionhead Ales
Drinking in History
After discovering the Royal Hops (since when do we need archeology to find new crops?), it's time to harvest them and put them to good use. The 50 Royal Hops will cost 12 thousand coins and take at least 10 hours to harvest. To learn how to make the Lionhead Ale recipe, check out our guide right here. Finally, this series is over, and for your hard work enjoy 500 XP, one Museum and a Double Mastery, which, well grants double Mastery for all crops. Yeah, I'd say these long Goals are worth it.
