The Middlesex County public swimming pool is now the only Tarberry Bog in the Commonwealth. Run by Ghoul settlers, they could provide much-needed trading goods to an enterprising (and open-minded) Minuteman. There’s a small diner on the property to scavenge too (Advanced).

Miscellaneous Quest (Wiseman)

Rid the local area of Super Mutants, and Wiseman forms an alliance with you. Bring settlers here to improve the trading conditions for Deidre.

Miscellaneous Quest (Arlen Glass)

Arlen Glass, the farm’s handyman, has a special interest in repairing Giddyup Buttercup toys. If you’re up for the challenge (and a very long trek), he sends you to retrieve a crate of parts from Location [6.23] Wilson Atomatoys Factory, south of Quincy. You can persuade him (Easy, Medium) for a better reward, or (Hard) for an Atomatoys ID Card, which will save you a bit of time at the factory. Expect 150-300 caps for your reward.

If you’re just wanting Giddyup Buttercup toys for your collection (and who isn’t?), find them here:

Miscellaneous Quest (Marlene’s Holotape)

If you manage to find Marlene’s Holotape at the Wilson Atomatoys Factory, return it to Arlen. After an emotional moment, you’re awarded with around 350 caps and a unique item—a Buttercup Toy horse.

Miscellaneous Quest (Holly)

Harvest tarberry from the swimming pool and she’ll pay you.
