farming village

Agricultural community hub

A farming village is a small rural settlement whose residents primarily engage in agriculture.

The term evokes a traditional way of life—clustered houses surrounded by cultivated fields, with daily rhythms tied to planting and harvest: The farming village had changed little in two centuries.

It contrasts with fishing villages, mining towns, or modern suburban communities.
