Orwell Orchards

The Orwell Orchards is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Located in the hills overlooking Charleston, Orwell Orchards was a once prosperous farm that was experiencing hard times in 2077. Swarming moths struck the orchards, affecting the harvest. By October 2077, the situation was bad: Banks turned down Ian's attempts at getting loans without them, they couldn't afford enough insecticide to ward the moths off. The oil traps they tried to use proved to be ineffective and without enough money for insecticide, their crops were at danger and could not produce more than a hundred bushels to sell.

There is a holotape claiming that the owners of the farm won a $300,000 cash lottery, though it is unknown if it was legitimate and came before or after their troubles began.

Layout
Orwell Orchards is a farm plagued by malfunctioning Mr. Farmhands who will attack on sight. The location contains a two-story farmhouse, inaccessible garage and two barns.

The bottom floor of the farmhouse contains several chairs, a coffee table stacked on top of a couch and a locked safe (Picklock 0). The upper floor contains a broken bed frame, a footlocker and a locked wall safe (Picklock 0). Cheryl's journal sits on top of a dresser here.

The smaller barn has radioactive barrels piled outside against one of its walls. An armor workbench is at one end of the building and the Lucky Hits! lottery recording sits in an oil barrel, amongst some other trash. The larger barn contains a tinker's workbench and a workbench. It also has a duffle bag and an ammo box on its upper level.

Notable loot

 * Cheryl's journal: On the top floor of the main house on a dresser.
 * Lucky Hits! lottery recording: In a blue compost barrel in the warehouse surrounded by radioactive barrels.
