Our story takes place in the fictional town of Sweetwater, Pennsylvania. Sweetwater is a quiet town with few tourist traps or frivolities; Aside from homes, the town has a few general stores, federal buildings, a school, several family-owned shops and a large, dried out lake for which the town is named. It is surrounded on all sides by scrubs of forests, craggy hills, and plains. One paved road to the highway that takes travelers to Portland, which is 30 miles south. Beyond the forests, the town's eastern coast has a craggy gravel beach.
The Tackett Farmstead is about 5 miles north of Sweetwater, and is owned by the Tackett family. Originally a family ranch that was only self-sustaining, Farmer Tackett has spent the last ten years making it into a profitable business.
The farmhouse is a three story colonial house, painted white with blue shingles and shutters, with a porch wrapping around the building. The Farmer lives here with his wife and daughter, as well as the farmhouse workers, ten women who live in a bunkhouse in the attic, who do the cooking and cleaning on the farm. To stop any "Unmarried Fraternizing", Farmer Tackett is known to fire the men he finds near the farmhouse worker's quarters.
The farm is 30 acres, surrounded on all sides by trees, though there is a buffer of waist-high grass between the farmland and the untamed brush, along with a stone fence wrapping around the property. There is a small pig barn with ten pigs, a goat barn with four goats, and a chicken coop with roughly sixty chickens that mostly roam around the farmstead, coming back to roost in the night. There are two horses in the animal barn, named Blackie and Brownie, although they are rarely taken out.
Though the farm keeps animals, they are mostly consumed by The Tacketts or sold at county fairs -- Nearly all of the money made by the farm is through agriculture. The farm has a cornfield, as well as five gardens and a small cluster of beehives used for honey.
