Definition

A tract of land, including buildings and structures, whose primary use is the production of food (for example: crops or livestock).

Description

A farm can be a holding of any size from a few dozen to many thousands of acres, and may be specialized to particular forms of food production, for example: a truck farm where primarily vegetables are grown, an orchard where tree fruit and/or nuts are grown, a vineyard where grapes are grown, and a ranch where livestock are raised on the range. A large farm or estate operating on the plantation economy model is termed an 'industrial farm' or 'plantation'.
