Up before dawn
The Farm is a working place, and everyone on it has a reason to be anywhere. The barn and the hayloft above it store the winter feed, the stable houses two old horses, and the dairy is cold and clean. The farmhouse kitchen is warm all day, the porch looks out over the yard, and the orchard behind the house drops its apples on the path.
Neighbours come to help with the harvest, and the farm is busy with people who know each other too well. Old quarrels travel far in a small valley.
How it plays
Two places here are not quite rooms: people are "on the Porch", and the hayloft is up above the barn. Outdoor ground is wide: trees in the orchard and the well in the yard block their squares, while a hay bale is something a person can sit on. The dairy and the stable are small and good places to start.
Farm cases often hinge on the yard. It is large and touches many rows, so a clue that keeps a person out of the yard removes a lot of squares at once.
