Cloverbell Fold
Jori
“A barn-door-tall man with a straw-filled coat, patchwork sleeves, and a wide-brimmed hat, standing about 2 meters tall beside a fence post.”
Jori is a lanky old scarecrow maker who lives at Cloverbell Fold and stands as tall as a barn door. He is gentle and a little odd, with a fondness for tidy knots, bright scraps, and giving forgotten things a second chance.

Where you've met them
Apples Rolling to the Pond
A section of the orchard fence has quietly loosened, and now the apples are rolling out of the trees and bouncing toward the duck pond faster than they can be gathered. If the apples reach the water, the ducks will crowd the bank, the path will clog, and the whole harvest will need a rescue plan.
The Crooked Seed Rows
A whole row of newly planted seeds has been nudged out of their furrows by overnight burrowing, and the disturbed ground is stretching farther each hour. If the seed rows are not reset soon, the planting day will be lost and the fields will be left uneven for the rest of the season.
Hay on the Hill
A cart full of hay has rolled half off the shed ramp and now leans dangerously toward the feed bins, where the animals' supper is stored. The hay cannot simply be left there, because one wrong nudge could scatter the load, trap the bins, and leave the whole farm waiting for dinner.
