Location | Unknown |
Hardscrabble Farms is the place Greg and his school go to for a week long field trip in the 10th book "Old School". It is the main location of the 10th book. The camp is known to make kids miserable, and even traumatize some, like what happened to Rodrick when he went. A main cause may be the rumored Silas Scratch who supposedly lives near the farm in the woods after supposedly being kicked of his land he had while working at the farm. Silas Scratch turned out to have been a hoax, created by Greg's dad, Frank, to keep people away from a maintenance shack, he found in the woods while gathering firewood at the place when he was a kid.
Appearances
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School (First and only appearance)
Trivia
- Greg's grade he was in, in the 10th book, at his school has been going on a trip to the place for at least 15 years, since Mrs. Graziano had been chaperoning the trip for 15 years. The annual trip for the grade may have started longer ago, since Frank (Greg's dad), and another chaperone (who is unnamed) had both been there as kids, when they were in Greg's grade.

Albert Sandy talks about Silas Scratch and how he supposedly uses underground tunnels, and that is why he is able to get around so quickly, which scared some people, causing them to decide to not use the bathrooms for the rest of the trip, which was only on day 2 at the time
