AT THE CHICKEN RANCH… EVEN THE ROOSTERS KEEP SECRETS. Bernie’s life went off the rails while on a West Coast trip to meet his editor— it was a near train wreck. During Bernie’s absence—Harry the rooster—is behaving strangely at their farm named the Chicken Ranch. Bernie’s grandson is conducting psychological experiments on himself, and abandoned roosters, arson, and vandalism are now the norm. Adding to the chaos is a shadowy buyer who wants Bernie’s land. The only steady force in Bernie’s life is his wife, Simone. She somehow manages to keep both her husband and farm moving forward while Bernie tries to make sense of the suspicious activity swirling around them. But instead of rushing home from his business trip, Bernie decides to clear his head the only way he knows how—a 5,000-mile Amtrak journey across America. Along the way he meets unforgettable characters, and hears extraordinary stories. Bernie slowly realizes that the answers to his problems are somewhere beyond the gates of the farm he loves. Join Bernie and his delightfully eccentric family and friends as they race to uncover the truth, save the Chicken Ranch, and survive the nonstop shenanigans at their unforgettable funny farm. Not your average farm story—not even close!
