Cassie's Farm is the farmland property owned by Cassie's parents, Walter and Michelle. Bordering a national forest, the property also includes the farm house and a barn, which serves as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic.

History

This farm, situated in California,^[2] and bordering a national forest, was within Cassie's family since the American Civil War.^[3] It was originally a traditional farm, with horses and cows, but by the 1990s it ceased to its professional farming operations. The horses and cows on the farm were instead for kept privately by Cassie's family, with the horses ridden by Cassie for fun. The farmhouse was used as the residence for the family while the main red barn on the farm was instead used as a clinic to help injured non-pet animals, professionally run by Walter as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic.^[4]

On a Saturday morning in 1997,^{[note 1]} Cassie, who had just received the morphing ability the night prior, decided to test out her newfound powers by acquiring one of the horses on her farm. She was soon contacted by Jake, who informed her that he and Tobias had also morphed and wished to have a meeting with the others at her farm. As Rachel arrived, Cassie continued to practice her morphing and found herself able to control specific aspects of the morphing process.

Cassie galloped across the farm as a horse while Tobias, Marco and eventually Jake arrived. As she began demorphing, she controlled it to make herself equally half-human and half-horse, similar to a centaur. However, before she could finish demorphing, a police cruiser suddenly pulled into the farm. Cassie successfully demorphed and the officer stared at Cassie for a while before asking them if they knew anything about kids being at the construction site. When they claimed they did not know anything, the man told Jake to join The Sharing before leaving the farm. On Monday, Cassie was doing chores on the farm, with the horses all kept in the stables, when the policeman from Saturday, who was a Controller, returned to the farm and kidnapped Cassie, dragging her to the Yeerk pool. The other four animal morphers, now calling themselves Animorphs, managed to rescue Cassie, who returned safely back to her house on the farm. Due to the policeman's death, Cassie was safe to continue residing on the farm without fear of the Yeerks returning.^[4]

When the Animorphs rescued Andalite named Ax, Cassie offered her farm as a place for him to live.^[3] Shortly after, the Animorphs walked across a field on the farm to meet up with Ax, where he told them that he wanted to build a Yeerk Distress Beacon so that he could signal a Bug fighter and fly it home. A few days later, the Animorphs had a small picnic on the farm, with Rachel bringing sandwiches and Marco bringing a six-pack of Pepsi, while Jake and Cassie brought tools for Ax to assemble his distress beacon. A few days after that, they once again returned to the farm as Ax integrated the Z-Space transponder into the distress beacon. The Animorphs then formulated their next steps before their meeting was adjourned.^[5]

On a Saturday night, Jake and Marco rode their bikes to Cassie's farm for an emergency meeting with Cassie and Tobias as Rachel and Ax had gone missing. Putting the information they learned together, they realized that a dust tornado-like monster known as the Veleek was a morph-hunter that the Yeerk Empire had deployed, and that it was drawn to whoemever was morphing. Upon leaving the barn, the Animorphs spotted the Veleek against the moon as it headed toward the subdivision in the middle of the city. Realizing that either Ax or Rachel was morphing and that they would be unaware that their morphing was drawing the Veleek to them, the Animorphs decided to distract the Veleek in order to lure it away from whomever was morphing in the city. Since they could not morph on the farm without bringing the Veleek to them, which would destroy the farm, Marco decided that they would steal Walter's truck, which was parked on the farm with the keys in the ignition. Despite Cassie's protest, she joined Marco and Jake as they entered the truck and drove out of the farm.^[6]

Shortly after the Veleek incident, Cassie morphed into a horse and ran through the fields of her farm. As she was demorphing, Ax, who had been running through the woods and feeding, ran out into the fields of her farm as he had been distracted with his thoughts. Realizing that he was too close to Cassie's house, he attempted to turn around and return to the woods when Cassie called out to him. Speaking to him about humans and Andalites, Cassie invited Ax to morph to human and join her family for dinner, and suggested that he morph into Jake to avoid explaining who his usual human morph was. Ax morphed into Jake and went into the barn to get overalls before Cassie and "Jake" walked into her house for dinner. After dinner, Ax and Cassie walked back onto the farm, where Ax demorphed and ran back into the woods.^[7]
