Barley's farm

Barley's farm, also known as Windover Farm, is a Twoleg nest at the edge of WindClan's territories in the forest. It is home to Barley, a friendly loner, and has been used by the Clans, most notably ThunderClan, as a point of refuge and shelter.
==Description==
:The farm is made up of a barn, a stable, a chicken coop, and a Twoleg nest where the Twolegs live. There are also fields that the male Twoleg attends to with his monster. Inside the main barn are lofts where hay is primarily stored. The hay acts as a material for nests while the lofts are where cats can sleep away from the disturbance of Twolegs. From the lofts, cats are able to access the roof of the barn to drink from the gutters. Also in the area is an old abandoned Twoleg nest that is still able to offer shelter to large groups of cats.
:The farm is primarily occupied by a pair of Twolegs that tend to the farm and care for its inhabitants such as cows, sheep, and chickens. The Twolegs also own two dogs. They at times leave food out for the cats, and offer care when needed. Despite the offer of kittypet food, the barn is also home to countless mice that is the preferred prey of the cats living there and any guests.
:Barley is the main inhabitant of the farm, and was accompanied by his partner, Ravenpaw. However, over the moons the farm has seen other cats come and go.In Moth Flight's Vision, Cow, Mouse, and Micah all call the farm home. In Crookedstar's Promise, Fleck and his kin inhabit the farm. Later, Barley takes up residence of the barn before Into the Wild takes place, while Ravenpaw joins during the same book. Other cats, such as the BloodClan rogues, also take up residence in the farm during Ravenpaw's Path. Barley's farm is often used as a place for ThunderClan cats to rest on their journey to Highstones and as a place for cats to seek shelter in times of trouble. Medicine cats are also known to sometimes stop on their way to share tongues with StarClan, however, not that often.

===Location history===
:Bluestar, Tigerclaw, Firepaw, and, Graypaw journey to Highstones to share tongues with StarClan. Along the way, they meet Barley, who Bluestar explains lives in the farm owned by the Twolegs. Firepaw, upon learning of Tigerclaw's plans to kill Ravenpaw, decides it is best for his friend to seek refuge with the loner, and is glad to learn that in the moons following, he is thriving in his new home.
:Fireheart and Graystripe becomes a frequent visitors to the farm. The pair of warriors, after finding WindClan, seek shelter from their friends at the barn to allow the Clan to rest before returning to the territories. Fireheart also returns to the barn a lot as he uncovers the truth behind Redtail's death from Ravenpaw. In the following moons, after Fireheart receives his nine lives, and new name, Firestar, he catches up with Ravenpaw and Barley. Barley, prior to the impending battle against BloodClan, reveals his past before he took up residence at the barn. After the Clans win the fight, Barley and Ravenpaw return home to their barn and Barley offers Firestar the invitation to visit them anytime he journeys to Highstones.
:Following the battle against BloodClan, Ravenpaw and Barley return to their usual barn life. However, a group of strangers, led by a tom named Willie, soon arrive, seeking shelter. They soon leave, thanking the two tom's for their hospitality. Shortly after, a fire destroys the farm, sending both Ravenpaw and Barley to sleep elsewhere while the den is fixed. They later find Willie and his cats causing trouble by hunting the farm animals. The intruders, who are revealed to belong to BloodClan, fight the two toms off, leading to the pair seek out help from their ThunderClan friends. 
:Firestar and a patrol of his best warriors, arrive at the barn with Barley and Ravenpaw. There, they devise a plan to drive the intruding BloodClan cats. After defeating Willie, Barley allows his brothers, Hoot and Jumper, to stay with him and Ravenpaw at the barn. The brothers cause trouble though, so Barley chases the two toms off and both him and Ravenpaw return to their usual routine and lives at the barn.
:Some moons after, the journeying cats shelter at Barley's farm before they leave the territories, and after the destruction of the forest begins, all four Clans seek shelter at the farm belonging to Barley and Ravenpaw. However, Barley points out that the large group of cats won't fit in the single barn, and Ravenpaw instead suggests they stay at the broken nest that some had stayed at previously.
