Greene Family Farm (TV Series)

Greene Family Farm refers to the farmland previously owned by Hershel Greene. In the TV Series, the farm was seen in episodes 2 to 13 of the second season and acted as the survivors' home base.

Television Series
Hershel's Farm is the main setting in Season 2 of The Walking Dead TV series. Even though power and water was cut off in the beginning of the apocalypse, the farm has its own generator that runs on fuel, fifty heads of cattle, five wells that contain fresh water and one large creek.

After Carl Grimes was accidentally shot by Otis, the group meets Hershel and his family and continue to stay on his land while looking for Sophia. The survivors spend the first half of the season at the farm using it as a base of operations to find Sophia but after the barn massacre, Hershel now wants Rick's group to leave since they do not respect his rules. Rick continues to get Hershel to reconsider and eventually convinces him about the nature of the walkers. When Rick captures a survivor named Randall, he decides to take him back to the farm since he was still human, in severe pain from his injured leg, and young for his age. They locked him up in the shed, deciding on his fate. Shane, believing that Rick was wrong with allowing him to live, goes to the shed and takes Randall away to kill him in a plot to kill Rick.

Shane later confronts Rick on the outskirts of the farm, only to be killed. Carl shoots him after he reanimates, killing him. The gunshot noise caught the attention of a massive herd coming from Atlanta, and they head towards the farm. The survivors make a stand at the farm but quickly realize that the farm is lost. The barn is set on fire and burned by Rick and Carl in an attempt to kill some walkers along with Dale's RV beside it. The group leave the farm and re-group on the Vehicle Jammed Highway to decide what to do next.

8 months later, in Season 3, Andrea gives Merle the location of the farm so he could find Daryl. She later finds out that the group has moved on to a prison.

Its current status is unknown, but it can be assumed that the entire farm burned to the ground, as the barn fire most definitely spread out of control.

Differences from the TV and the Comic Series

 * In the Comic Series the farm was shown thrice (once during its first appearance, twice with Otis being saved by Michonne and the last with the Herd attack) and it lasted about approximately 1 - 8 months in the apocalypse surviving through the winter until a herd attacked the area and the survivors fleed from it the second time, but in the TV Series the farm was shown only once as it was attacked by an overwhelming Herd and survived 2 - 3 months in the apocalypse.
 * The Herd that attacked the farm in the Comics took place in between the morning to the afternoon but in the Show in took place at midnight.
 * In the Comic Series, during Rick and the survivors second return to the farm after the Prison, featured the introduction of Abraham Ford, Rosita Espinosa and Eugene Porter, but in the TV Series they were never introduced in that place.
 * In the Comic Series, Arnold and Lacey were members of the Greene Family, although in the TV Series only Arnold was the confirmed member of the family and Lacey was just a next door neighbour.
 * In the Comics, Arnold was seen alive and well before getting attacked by the barn walkers and soon getting killed by the survivors, yet in the show he was one of the barn walkers that were all killed by the Atlanta Group.
 * In the Comics, the farmhouse space is little and just a few meters away is the barn, but in the show the farmhouse has a large space and the barn is far off on another fence.
 * Another difference in space within the comicbook and the show is the crop space, in the comics the crop's space is very wide, yet in the show its widespread range is only average.
 * There are some Deaths between the Comic and TV Series that are both different and altered against each other.in the farm storyline.
 * In the Comics, Dale survived the farm storyline until "Volume 11: Fear The Hunters", but his TV Series counterpart died in the 11th episode of Season 2 in the farm.
 * Another would be Patricia and Otis where in the comics both survived the farm and made to the Prison, but in the show Otis died after Shane sacrificed him to the Walkers so he could escape and Patricia died after a herd attacked Hershel's farm.
 * In the comics, the barn seems to be a bit small, but in the show it is very large.
 * In the show the only members of the Greene Family that were intoduced were Hershel Greene and his two daughters Maggie and Beth Greene. But in the comicbooks, it introduced a much larger Greene Family consisting of Lacey, Arnold, Billy, Susie and Rachel Greene.
 * Another Family difference withing the show from the comics is Beth Greene, where she did not appear in the comics nor does Billy, Susie, Rachel and Lacey appear in the show.

Similarities from the TV and the Comic Series

 * Both the farm from the Comic and TV series were attacked by an overwhelming Herd forcing the survivors to flee.
 * There were only two named living characters that died in the farm.
 * In the Comics; Arnold and Lacey Greene and in the Show; Jimmy and Patricia.
 * In both the Comic and TV Series, there were some zombified Greene Family Members within the barn.
