Farm 2 Forking Books in Order

Farm 2 Forking is a small-town romance setting centered on the Bedd family and Bedd Fellows Farm in the Catskills. Lainey Davis's contribution, Since You've Bean Gone, follows the oldest Bedd sibling as he tries to keep the family farm from being lost. It is a second-chance romance with farm work, financial trouble, family history, and a sheep with a talent for stealing scenes.

The farm is not a dreamy escape from responsibility. It is a working place with debt, labor, weather, family expectations, and a future that is far from certain. When Ethan Bedd learns the farm is facing foreclosure after his grandfather's death, he has to find a way forward while holding together a family still processing grief and surprise.

Then the financial adviser assigned to help is Lia Thorne, Ethan's former high school sweetheart. Lia left years ago without giving him the explanation he needed, and Ethan has not forgotten the hurt. Now they have to work side by side on a practical plan to save the farm, despite the old feelings neither has truly put away.

Their shared history gives the story its emotional pull. Ethan wants to protect the farm and the people who depend on it, but he has built a hard shell around the part of him that still cares about Lia. Lia is capable and committed to helping, yet she has her own reasons for keeping parts of her life private. The job forces them to confront what happened and decide whether a second chance is possible.

The tone is warm and playful, with rural mishaps, family banter, livestock, and plenty of farm-themed jokes. Underneath that humor, the book deals with financial stress, grief, chronic illness, and the weight of returning to a place that still knows who you used to be.

The Bedd family gives the story its sense of community. Siblings, a meddling grandmother, and the farm's animals turn every difficult moment into a group event. That can be frustrating for Ethan and Lia, but it also means neither of them has to face a crisis alone.

Start with Since You've Bean Gone. It introduces Bedd Fellows Farm, Ethan and Lia's history, and the family's larger struggle to keep its land and relationships intact. Readers who enjoy small-town second chances, practical heroines, grumpy farm heroes, and a little agricultural chaos will find a grounded entry point here.
