farm

Where crops grow

The most frequent use of farm is an area of land, bigger than a garden, that is set aside for agricultural use.

The archetypal farm includes a barn and a house, the farmhouse, where the farmer and his family live.

Farms are sometimes characterized by their product, which may or may not be related to agriculture: pig farm, wind farm.

Someone who farms makes a living in agriculture.

Something that is farmed out is assigned to another: the company farms out its hiring efforts to an agency.
