Having played Lord of the Rings online for many years (and only just this week started a brand new Hobbit character questing in The Shire), I dare say that there are a lot of things that could be included in a Shire expansion.
As we know, The Rangers became protectors of the Shire for many years, so they would be a natural inclusion. The MMO itself introduces a bandit camp to the west of Bamfurlong (where Farmer Maggots farm is) in a wood area close to Woodhall. That plays a major threat to the Shire early on in the Prologue for the game (and ties into the idea that the bandits are all being pulled together by the mysterious "Chief" Sharkey. There is also a threat from a growing band of wolves commanded by a Warg in Budgeford as well as a spider infestation in the mines located in Scary. In no way are these epic quests as such, but they are ideas that could be incorporated. Even having to escort someone from Michel Delving to Bree could come into play, especially when Hobbits have a need to continuously delay everyone with their endless eating.
Also just East of the Shire, more into Bree-Land itself we have The Old Forest, crawling with creepy crawlies, Old Man Willow and Tom Bombadil! The Old Forest also has links to the Barrow Downs and in the MMO introduces a dungeon area called Othrongroth, the great Barrow which has become home to a powerful Wight called Sambrog. Then to the north of the Shire is the growing threat of Goblins getting closer to the Brokenborings.
Of course a Shire set could include attachments like Pipe Weed, a bunch of food types (and we already have Mathoms) as well as event cards that are all Hobbit themed. Bree-land itself could then introduce SO much more on top of that. Bring it on I say . . imagine a quest where our heroes are protecting the borders of the shire while we have a farming location where we have to scour the quest deck looking for crops to plant in a field or find Rangers to attach to key Shire locations to prevent enemy attacks to an area.
I'm just writing the first things that come to my head - but I'm sure if FFG where to sit down and put their heads together they could come up with something great!

"Pipe Weed" - "Attachment". "Attach to Hobbit character. Attached character is immune to damage due to being spaced out".
ha! though of course they must get the munchies and have to play good meal every turn

After getting all excited about the idea of the Shire and all of the talk about LotRO, I got excited about the idea of making a set of scenarios that take part in the LotRO universe, using locations and creatures and quest lines from the game. Feonix has done some great work with custom scenarios, so Id be keen to collaborate with someone to create something enjoyable.
I already have a storyline established and an entire set of cards for the first set of quest (out of a three quest chain). If anyone is even slightly interested, Id be happy to share those ideas here and get some feedback.
Ill post some of it on my own blog NerdGasm soon.
