farmed

Raised crops professionally

Farmed describes something raised or cultivated through agriculture rather than found in the wild: farmed salmon, farmed shrimp.

The distinction matters for food—farmed fish are raised in controlled environments, while wild-caught are harvested from natural waters.

Farmed land has been worked for growing crops.

They farmed the land for three generations.
