FarmVille Lighthouse Cove: First look

FarmVille players are being offered early access to Lighthouse Cove expansion for Farm Cash Monday evening.  If you choose to pay for early access, you will be greeted with all-new quests just for those who arrive early! Get a rundown of them in this article.
We’ve got our early access, and we’re sharing what you can expect below!
What Do I Start With?
When you first log into the Lighthouse Cove, you will see some plots, a partially built Orchard, a partially built Wildlife Habitat, a Bed & Breakfast and a Market Stall. You’ll also have a basic Cow, a Black Chicken, a River Otter, an Eastern Red Cedar and a White Cedar Tree on your land. Yes, both trees and all animals mentioned can be harvested and mastered.
New Crops
There are 12 new crops in Lighthouse Cove. Before you go crazy plowing, you should know that your plots are VERY limited on this new land. With the size of land you’re initially given, you can only have 35 plots on the farm. That’s all. If you want more, you’ll need to pay Farm Cash to expand at this point.
New Animals
There are 17 new animals currently available, and some cute ones for Farm Coins (including the Milking Shorthorn, Pine Marten and Maine Coon). See all of them (and their cost) in the slideshow.
New Buildings
We’ve got several new buildings available, and several from our other farms we’ll be using on our new land. First things first, purchase the Restaurant for 100,000 Farm Coins. You will absolutely need this to craft new recipes in upcoming quests. See all the new buildings in (you guessed it) the slideshow over there on the left.
New Crafting
You'll need the Restaurant and a Market Stall to craft new recipes. Each day, you will harvest your Lighthouse Cove and possibly find seafood bushels (like Clams).
Restoring the Lighthouse CoveWhen you arrive in the Cove, you’ll see a short video showing you the beauty of the Cove and the damage it sustains in a storm. You’ll be working on restoring it. This is fairly easy with the help of your friends. You’ll be on the lookout for Stones, Logs and Steel Beams to rebuild it. As you get these parts, add them to the Cove. There are several levels you can improve to, and if you’re like us, you will want to get them all in there as soon as possible. Each time you gain a level, your Cove looks a little nicer.
My Land is Small
Yes, we have a pretty small space compared to our other farms at the moment. If you have spare Farm Cash, you can expand your land (and get more space to plant crops). See photos of the expansion costs to the left as well.
What About My Animal Buildings?
All of the animal storage buildings you know and love are available in the FarmVille Market. You can buy unconstructed buildings for Farm Coins, and fully built buildings for Farm Cash. Even the new buildings (Aviary, Wildlife Habitat, etc) are available for you to purchase if you choose.
