      I don't really care for a butter churn as you can make butter with a mixer and I don't know how much use we would get out of butter. A mixer on the other hand, could be used to create more recipes. I would much rather prefer a juice extractor to make fresh juice or a grape press to make nectar. Even a distillery kit for fruit would be nice. I also, don't want a tractor. We already have too many plants and nothing to do with them. Growing more plants wouldn't help with that. I would like something that would help to reduce the amount of fruits and vegetables our sims grow. A juice extractor or a canning station could help with that. The fizzy machine that came with Eco Lifestyle is useless in this regard as it gives you one bottle of fizz per one fruit or vegetable.

      I think country band instruments would be fun such as a fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar, double bass.
      A duck pond.

      I've posted about a nectar making kit concept that can includes a juice extractor but it appears that content is too much heavy to be handed by a Kit, so I think both juice extractor and nectar maker (like TS Freeplay) can be added in a farming/country EP.

      I love all of your ideas.

      Personally, I'm hoping they will set it in an Italian inspired world, so I'd love it if they'd bring back nectar making as well as the pizza oven.

      A off the grid nectar maker like in TS Freeplay and another powered like in TS3, and of course the pizza oven and maybe a stove and grill that matches the oven swatches

      The canning station and chicken coop are equally tempting...Right now it doesn't feel like you can do much with harvested fruits and veggies except use them as ingredients or quick snacks. I'd love to make jams, preserves and pickles.

      Additionally, the presence of chickens and other poultry would diversify cooking ingredients with at least the addition of eggs, a lovely plus would be the ability to process meat. Feathers could be collected (sanitized! Mites, yuck) and used for projects. (Ooh, what if Sims could stuff their own pillows! If we had geese we could have goosedown pillows!)

      Items to create a vineyard for making my own wine and mead would be at the top of the wishlist for a Farming pack.

      Butter could be added to recipes to make them richer/more satisfying perhaps.

      I'd like a nectar maker (with the ability to make different ones depending on the combination of fruits) or a juicer (which could make fruit and vegetable juices); in both cases different blends could produce different effects, like boosting energy or staving off hunger or put Sims in a different mood like Focused or Energized, Or they could be sold (either direct from inventory, in a retail store if player has GTW, or the sales table if one of the packs that uses that is available).

      We have acoustic guitars and violins already (and I think one of the options for music is country as you level up the skill). Banjo and double bass would be fun, especially once they add the ability to form bands.

      Electric guitar? Steel guitar?
